"I felt at home so naturally and simply through my everyday life I could practice and learn my German"

francesca UBACH MILLANES, student from Spain

I have found a cozy reception with my teacher, which has allowed me to get to know the environment and also get used to the German everyday life in Cologne. The reception of her family was just as friendly, and they were all very nice with me. The location was very quiet, but with a bus that passed every 10 minutes, it was only 30 minutes away from the old town.

Since I mainly wanted to improve my oral and listening German, we decided on a natural conversation. The teacher has had a lot of experience in that and she has allowed us to talk about different topics and talk about everything. That's why I learned a lot of vocabulary and recognized my mistakes.

I was also interested in cooking in Germany and his vocabulary. That's why we ate something together every day, and had a lot of fun. In my free time I could go for a walk, and I visited Cologne.

I believe that, on the one hand, our conversation became richer and more varied because our lessons were not systematized, so that my English became much more spontaneous and fluid. On the other hand, my learning was poorly regulated and therefore sometimes it was not so constant.
