What has made the most profound impression upon me during my experience at the Alpadia School in Freiburg are the students with whom I have had class and whom I have gotten to know in my free time. Spending time with individuals from France, Switzerland, and Spain, among a number of other places: these are the experiences that one should have when traveling abroad to learn a language.

At times, the only common language between me and another student was German, which was at first difficult to grapple with. But what I discovered via these experiences was an even stronger compulsion to improve my faculty for the language. Such is the case when one engages in this kind of experience: one is driven to improve in order to fully exist somewhere other than home: to learn how those from another country laugh in their language, how they write, how they may wish to live. This helps not only in developing one's Sprachgefühl, but also in developing a feel for the culture in which that language thrives."
 

I liked the company of people and I really liked that the space here is a really big. I liked the activities very much.
