Alpadia testimonial - Ismet

I chose Berlin as a destination because I was told that it was a great capital to discover. Alpadia organised my stay perfectly: the classes, the accommodation and the transfer from the airport went very well. I made many new friends at the school; we visited the city and had a great time together. The cost of living in Berlin is a lot lower than in Switzerland, especially for food! There is a good atmosphere in the school and the teachers are fun. It is pleasant to study in such a relaxed atmosphere. I have already studied in 2 other schools, but Alpadia is the best! I'm thinking about staying here for another few months in order to perfect my German.
