"It was Great"

Mathis Martini, student from France

My classroom was at my level. My colleagues was very kind with me. I could joke with them.

We went together for several activities : swimming pool, different visits of Berlin, football, basket, treat boat in wannsee lake.
Wannsee was not so far than Berlin Center because we took the S-Bahn in 20 minutes.

Alpadia School Wannsee is a very good place because there was the forest around to walk or to swim in the lake. To be in the nature is benefit for the health.

I had 2 teachers during the 3 weeks and the lessons was very Cool. In the same time I could speak in English with them and above all in German. I progressed to speak in German. We had several German exercises for grammar and vocabulary.

Then in the end of each week we had a test to see our progression.
The last day Alpadia School gave me a Certificate.
