Kästner Kolleg offers personal and friendly alternative to the production like approach of large schools and institutions.The satisfaction of the course participants can be summed up in  a simple formula: "highest teaching standards + service + fun = fast successful learning."

川端

学校の雰囲気がとてもアットホームだったので、すごくリラックスして過ごせたのが一番良かったところです。

クラスメイトもみんな良い子達で、先生もすごく優しかったです。
私は他の欧米系の生徒に比べて理解力が足りず、先生に何度も質問しまくっていたのですが、いやな顔一つせず丁寧に教えてくれましたTT
授業内容は最新の話題を取り上げたり、映像なども利用していて、面白かったです。
宿泊はホームステイでしたが、すごくあったかい家族で、たくさんお世話してくれました。
一緒にベルリンにいったり、トレッキングもしました。
留学は不安でいっぱいでしたが、優しい人々に助けてもらってなんとかやり遂げることが出来ました。
また行きたいという気持ちでいっぱいです。

我去卡斯特納學院語言學校就讀6個月的語言課程~~~~
從小的時候我就夢想能在德國念書,德國一直是我嚮往的國家
我怎麼能決定出國留學,但我覺得第一焦慮得滿滿的,又在一個陌生的環​​境。
然而實際到德國後與寄宿家庭,最後感謝隊友能夠給我一個非常愉快的學生生活。
寄宿家庭是一個很親切,也越來越讓通信可以在一個採取繼續研究,已習慣非常要好的朋友。
學校坐落在方便的位置,去哪裡都非常的方便,而且學校裡面的所有設施也都非常先進非常漂亮。
班上學生人數也比較少因此我們跟老師互動的機會就多,我們能夠得到一個有趣的課在溫馨的氛圍。
我認為在這裡上課是非常充實的內容。
另外,每個週五的晚上經過社團活動,大家會一起喝啤酒玩遊戲
這種經驗時在台灣感受不到的,這裡真的很不錯。
所以真得很推薦大家去德國念語言學校,相信會是很好的經驗與體驗。
