Testimonials

“Hallo, ich bin Elena und ich komme aus Italien. I took the German Language Course A1. I enjoyed the FUBiS program so much because I had no knowledge of German before and now I am quite able to ask for example “What is the time?”, “Where is something?” or to order something in a café. I’m sure I’m going to improve the language when I go back home. Berlin is wonderful and one of my dreams would be to come here to live and work.” Elena Biason, Italy
