Testimonials Show
The course was really good and helpful. The teachers are great, good activities after classes, excellent location in the heart of Munich,  internet room for free, textbooks for free, tea and coffee for free, classes were never bigger than 10 students, cosy classrooms, friendly athmosphere and great staff. Overall great money value.
Mrs Duarte
The teachers were excellent. They had a top class methodology and were not only knowledgeable as teachers of German as a foreign language but also had a comprehensive grasp of general knowledge. They were very helpful and had affable personalities. The course content was stimulating, and there was a good balance between discussion and grammatical analysis. Unlike a lot of other courses I have attended, the students were asked about their particular area of interest and classes were given in these fields. The school facilities were excellent. I really appreciated the free use of the computers and also the fact that they were high speed. There was a very good after school programme, most of which was conducted by a very pleasant and witty historian.
Joseph Connor (Ireland)
I enjoyed every minute staying in Munich and studying at BWS Germalingua. The city is so great and beautiful, the school is excellent. Our teacher - Axel is an ace teacher and great fun. I really improved my language skills, met so many nice people almost from all over the world and had just wonderful time. Special thanks to LSW managers, especially Nick for being very polite and understanding! Definetely would like to go back again and also advice your services to friends.
