"My impression of Germany and the Germans always has been quite positive. Germany is our biggest neighbor and most important economic trade partner. I took German as a language in high school (12-18) but had hardly any speaking experience. That's why I decided to follow a course of three weeks at the Humboldt-Institut in Freudental, Germany. After this course, I will also teach some of my courses at my University in German. The learning experience is very good. Day-by-day I have experienced progress at Freudental. Freudental as a place to be is really great: a nice old castle as venue, good rooms and friendly people, both course participants and Freudental staff. My fellow students came from all over the world. I was in a very intensive course with only one other course participant from France. Our teacher came from Liechtenstein (a German speaking mini-state between Switzerland and Austria) and is really professional. After intensive working days, we joined other groups in Freudental and explored some nice sites in the BodenLake environment. My advice: if you want to learn or improve your German: if you don't make it in Freudental, you won't make it anywhere". Maurice Cox, Groningen & Leeuwarden, Netherlands "Trying to find the best language school for our children in Germany we picked out the Humboldt-Institut. Furtunately, it was the right choice. We really appreciate the high level of organisation and professionalism of your staff. Variety of school events and entertainment programme makes the staying of our children not only useful in studying and practicing of German but also enjoyable and unforgettable. We will recommend the Humboldt-Institut to our friends and we are going to send our children to your school next year." Mr. and Mrs. Aven, Moscow, Russia "My son Arturo had a great time with you at Torgelow. Please thank all people involved". Arturo Mallard, Mexico City, Mexico "Our daughter, Elise Sutter, was very happy with her stay in Meersburg. [...] She appreciated her host mother and the rest of the students in her course. Thank you." Annette Tomlinson Sutter, Vandoeuvres-Geneva, Switzerland "I have just returned from Schloss Freudental where I spent my last two weeks. Besides the courses, which were well organised and covering my needs of deepe German knowledge, I was very pleased with the atmosphere and the hospitality from there. I really enjoyed these two weeks. The Humboldt-Institut could be proud of having Ms Irmgard Moser there, the "factotum person", who did everything possible for her guests."
