Comments about TREFF PUNKT

- what students wrote about us -

Erin from Canada joined TREFF PUNKT classes from mid Octobe till mid December 2001.

Read what she wanted to say in the end:

December 2001

Dear German learner,

I know - you've looked at about 50 different Language Institutes (or more) on the Internet and you have no clue which to chose. And to be perfectly honest I chose Treffpunkt purely by good feeling or intuition. But, I am so happy I did!

If you wish an impersonal, unfriendly, overly busy atmosphere by all means DON'T PICK TREFF PUNKT! But if you enjoy meeting the world ones a pint of beer then you have definitely come to the right place.

If you can manage coming to Treffpunkt off season (not in summer) I would strongly advise it. While the weather is far from perfect, Bamberg more than makes up for the rain! I have loved getting to know Christmas and fall traditions in Germany. If you think sunshine is wonderful, then you have obviously never stood outside a Glühweinstand enjoying a starry night sky and strong hot wine on a cold night, or taken a long stroll on a fall day and watched children in fallen leaves as you gaze out over the church towers and castles. Not to mention plays, concerts, libraries and less tourists!

At the end Erin wrote us in German:

Ich weiß nicht, was die "Zaubermedizin" ist, aber ich habe bei Treffpunkt den Mut gefunden Deutsch in Deutschland zu sprechen.
