Testimonials

My time at the Humboldt-Institut started really well because I met so many new people and quickly made friends. Humboldt is a great place to learn German. After only a short time I can now speak German quite well. The teachers and staff members are all very friendly. For the Humboldt-Institut has become a home away from home.

The time with Humboldt was a lot of fun because I made many new friends. The staff was nice and friendly to everyone which I think is very important. My family and I were very happy that Humboldt managed to find a school for me so quickly.

Sending our son abroad was hard enough, but Humboldt made it worth the time and the money. We think Humboldt is the appropriate institute for anyone who is seriously involved in studying German.

We are very grateful to the Humboldt-Institut for helping our children to manage the transition efficiently from an English-language based system to the German one. The children enjoyed the experience.

My brother and I felt very comfortable in Bad Schussenried and we both improved our German a lot. I really liked the excursions that the school offered on the weekends.

Humboldt has played a huge role in my life. It's like a second family. I also learned to speak German and am now able to go to a German school. You learn a lot about Germany on the many excursions, too.

When I came here I couldn't speak any German. Now I am able to say and explain almost everything in German. My first days were challenging because I didn't know anyone. But now I am fine. I made many new friends from various cultures. Learning at the Humboldt-Institut is very intense because it only takes a short amount of time. After class we can choose from many different activities. You can play games, do sports, craft and paint. A very special feature are the two excursions per week.

My two daughters both experienced wonderful learning periods in Humboldt‘s picturesque campuses and friendly boarding community. The small-class approach and the variety of nationality of students in a boarding house will bring a lot of fun and cultural exchanges to each student and thus releases the tense and pressure of the study. It is also worth to highlight that the meals in Humboldt‘s boarding schools are really good. I wish to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Humboldt‘s teachers and boarding school managers in Lindenberg and Bad Schussenried to give a memorable period to my daughters in their young learning period.

In Vietnam, my sons have studied a bilingual UK program. I never thought that one day both of them would join a school in Germany. But when I checked the Humboldt-Institut website and got in contact with the counseling team, all of my family members have changed their idea to join the German education system.
My elder son was very happy during his Humboldt time. Now he is in Germany for almost 2 years and has become a “very real German boy”. I would like to say thanks to the help of teachers and counselors at the Humboldt-Institut. My younger son will join the German program this summer. I feel very satisfied with the support and flexibility of the Humboldt staff.

I started learning German in Russia, but it wasn't enough for me because I could not practice. Now I learn German at the Humboldt-Institut. On my first day I was quite nervous since my German wasn't so good. I quickly made new friends as everyone here is nice and friendly. Everyone is eager to help you in case of problems or when you are a new student. The Humboldt-Institut offers many ways to learn and improve your German and make friends with students from many different countries.

When I first arrived at the Humboldt-Institut everything was completely new to me. I didn't understand anything although I already started to learn German back home in Vietnam. After just one week I became much better and could understand more and more. I also made a lot of new friends which helped me a lot to quickly overcome my initial homesickness. Now I pretty much enjoy my life here. Everything is just great! The teachers are all very friendly, they are very committed to their job and provide excellent teaching material.

Very quickly I made new friends at the Humboldt-Institut. My class comprises young students from different cultures. I share my room with a Chinese student. Personally, I enjoy learning more about different cultures and compare them with mine.
I also like learning at the Humboldt-Institut. Our teachers use various methods to help us understand better and enjoy lessons. The proposed activities are great, too. Everyday we can choose between different activities. Yesterday we went swimming, today we play football and tomorrow we will do a creative crafts project.

Like many other boarding schools in Germany Schloss Buldern has granted admission to an increasing number of international students.
