"I met new people and new cultures. It was interesting."

Viktorie Šlachtová, student from Czech Republic

I liked everything. The teachers were really nice and patient. And also the people in the classes were very very friendly so I really enjoyed to be in Schiller Language School. The location was perfect especialy for me, because I lived only few minutes from the school.I would like to come again and I think I will. Well that is all I have nothing to criticize.

"The student has also inquired me about the possibility of booking the 3 course week course with only 1 week accommodation, as after the first week she has a place to stay. Would that be possible?"

Benjamin Effer, Schiller Language School school representative

Please keep in mind that each German level course takes 8 weeks (B1, 10
weeks) to graduate.

If both would do 34 weeks in our school, we can try to extend their Visa. I need to know which kind of visa they have.

"The student is 54 years old and is above the maximum age of 30 years old required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program? We have informed the student's family that the maximum age is 30 years old. The student is fully aware that the other students in the class will be younger."

Benjamin Effer, Schiller Language School school representative

First of all, of course we can accept your student. If she is okay with the fact that most of our students are much younger, we do not have any inconvenient.

"1. The student is only 16 years old (but she will turn 17 this year in September) and is below the minimum age of 17 required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program? 2. Can you confirm that the course listed below are still available? Please note that this is NOT an enrollment. 3. The student would want to stay in the host family. Is that possible only for 2 weeks? What would be the price?"

1. For 2 weeks it is no problem. We have young learners for summer courses from time to time.
2. The course and pick up are available as stated, yes.
3. Host family stay is possible
