歐洲遊學

Freiburg除了哥德還有不少語言學校

Sprachschule zum Ehrstein
Sprachschule Kramer
International Hause
Sprachenkolleg

由於我在福來堡只待一個月，其實學德文的效果有限，主要目的是要體驗南德森林區的美麗風景，和傳統德國文化，因此我決定找家最便宜的語言學校來讀，我鎖定Sprachschule zum Ehrstein, Sprachschule Kramer兩家，以下是我跟這兩家語言學校溝通的信件，由下面的郵件中不難看出，學費便宜相對地，服務也比較少，出外旅遊的活動都需要學生自費，其實一分錢一分貨

Dear Steve,
 
Thank you very much for your interest in our German courses.
 
In a 12-week-intensive course you can finish one entire level. If you have already some German knowledge you could start on any given Monday. If you are a complete beginner there are certain beginning dates: February, 6th, March 6th, April 3rd etc.
 
When would you like to start the course? 
 
At the moment we don't have any Chinese students, but within the next few weeks we expect a new student from Taiwan.
 
Many of our students come from Japan or from South America, but actually they come from all over the world.
 
You have asked if you could use internet at our school. Yes, the students can use it for free whenever they want.
 
Concerning your question about the health insurance: For getting the visa you are certainly obliged to have an insurance, but perhaps it is sufficient to apply for it in you country. Please inform yourself at the embassy about all conditions.
 
Attached you will find our pricelist and the course dates. 
 
For an inscription at our school we ask you to fill in the enrolment form which you'll find on our homepage. 
 
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask us!
 
Kind regards
Elisabeth Knapheide

Dear Steve,
 
Thank you for your email!
 
We offer an interesting and varied leisure program which helps the students to get in contact with each other and, of course, to know the German culture.
 
The course fee (430,- Euros) does not include the leisure activities. So the students have to pay themselves train tickets, admission charges etc., but we always try to offer the activities for a good price.
 
Usually our students learn quickly a lot about Freiburg and about the German people because the atomosphere in this town is really extrovert.
 
I am sure that you will feel happy in Freiburg and at our school!
 
Please let me know if you have further questions.
 
Kind regards
Elisabeth Knapheide

Dear Steve,

thank you for your mail. Unfortunately I could not answer you sooner, since the school was closed until yesterday.

To finish a level, you need 10 weeks.

We have some Chinese people, but not a lot, right now the percentage is very low.

We have Internet facilities in the school.

You will need a medical insurance. It is up to you, if you take it in your country, or if you take it in Germany. We offer a medical insurance for students under 35, which costs 39,-€ a month.

If you still have questions, do not hesitate to contact me again. Attached you will find an application form

Yours sincerely,
Sílvia Molist

Betreff: Some questions about course

Dear sir,

I am interested in your intensive course. And I have some questions about the it.

How long should I spend finishing a complete level course?
I've heard about that there are a lot of Chinese in the class. Could you tell me the how much percentage of student is Chinese?

Could I use the internet at the school?
Must I apply for health insurance?  May I use one applied in my country?

Thanks for your kind help.

Regards,
Steve

Dear Steve,

We do not offer accommodation with breakfast, since the rooms are in a shared flat, your are allowed to use the kitchen.

If you want to go to an excursion, you have to pay extra for it. That is to say, you need to pay for the train ticket and so on, but we do not charge extra fees to organize an activity.

If you want to know the German culture better, you should have a tandem partner, that means some German people who want to learn your mother tongue, and then you meet each other and you speak a little bit of German and a little bit of your language.

Best regards,
Sílvia

Dear Silvia,

Thanks for your info. Could you tell me how much it costs to take accomodation with breakfast in a family?

I can't find any information on the website.

Does the excursion include in the course and should I pay extra fee? Do you arrange any activity to help student experience the German culture and beautiful scene in Freiburg?

Kind regards,
