Hello,
I am Gülistan and I would like to share my experience with Deutsch Akademie. I moved to Germany in January 2021 and I started an online A1.2 course in February with Deutsch Akademie. That was the time I had just moved to Germany and I was learning quite a lot, at work, in life; I was changing my everyday language from Turkish to English and learning German. So, I think all of those were too much at once and I had to leave the course because I did not understand anything. Especially having an online course from Monday to Friday every day for 3 hours after work. Even though I attended the course for just a week.
The Deutsch Akademie team was so kind to offer me to take another test and later, just because I was not learning at the course, to keep my place and finally allowed me to participate in the course when I feel ready. Last month, I started the A2.1 online course which was from Monday to Thursday 3 hours per day. You might imagine that I had the fear of not being able to learn:) I have to tell you that I attended the course where I felt more ready to start the language course and where I was more used to live in a new country and work at a new job. However, I know that my great satisfaction with the course is very much related to the teaching methodology of my teacher, Stephan Kuhlmann. He paid attention to all of us and kept following our improvement. It was fun for adults, for us, and grammatically well explained. I used to be a lazy learner of German, but it has changed my attitude to my learning progress :)
He used different new digital teaching tools which were fun and made me more aware of using digital literacy for learning German. I did not have so much time to use it but I liked the Deutschfuchs app very much.
Furthermore, we had the records of the lectures. This was wonderful for me because of my shifts at the school where I work, I sometimes could not attend the lecture from the beginning. The records (I watched them later on) gave me a chance to follow the whole lecture and understand the whole context.
I think that it is important to mention that Deutsch Akademie Teams' understanding of my case and my teachers' teaching methodology were so precious to me personally (as a migrant) and has helped me a lot to overcome my fears of learning German and my learning process of a new language. Now, I am an A2.2 student at Deutsch Akademie, and hopefully will be able to write feedback in German someday in the future!
To those who is considering to take courses at the Deutsch Akademie, I would strongly suggest it, go for it! :)
Thank you Deutsch Akademie team!
Gülistan
