“ The language school Colón helped me to reach the level of German I needed to enter German university. I stayed at Colón for 8 months and now I am enrolled
in Hamburg university. This was my dream! Hamburg has been my
dream since I first started looking for German cities. Hamburg offers
everything without being too big like Tokyo. It‘s great here! ”
