You can too Students who started where you are share their stories. - ### One of the best decisions of my life As a former student, I would like to thank DÜS Eckert from the bottom of my heart. I came to you during a difficult phase of my life, and in retrospect it was one of the best decisions of my life. The school and all the staff supported me not only linguistically, but also on a personal level. There I acquired excellent skills that later helped me learn German to C1 level. Thanks to this solid foundation, I was ultimately able to realize my dream and find my dream job in Germany. I am deeply grateful for your support, your patience, and your dedication. This time will always remain a cherished memory for me. Lisa K. 36 - ### Found a job right after the exam When I came to Germany, I didn't speak any German at all. After a conversation with the Jobcenter, I came across DÜS Eckert and I have to say that I made the right decision. From day one, I received support and help. Our teacher was fantastic, very competent and also funny. I went to class knowing that a great school day awaited me. Now I have a B2 certificate, found a job right after the exam, and am very well integrated into German society. Giovanni 36 - ### I was very proud At the beginning, I didn't understand anything at all, but I didn't give up. On the very first day, I learned how to ask a question and said my first sentence in German. That moment was very special for me, because my teacher was happy and because I myself was very proud. When I was at A2 level, I was able to explain my problems at the hospital without a translator. This joy of learning German motivated me to do my homework regularly, and that's how I passed my B1 certificate. Abede 36 - ### Not just grammar The B1 course was an important milestone on my path to recognition as a pharmacist in Germany. I learned a lot, not just grammar, but also how to speak confidently in professional settings. The course helped me gain confidence and take the next step. Now I'm preparing for the Fachsprachenprüfung. Rama 28 - ### The teacher is simply amazing! I took German courses from A1 to B1 at this school and it was a truly great experience! The school is very well organized, modern, and offers a pleasant, friendly learning atmosphere. The teacher explains everything clearly and understandably and manages to make the lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to her support, I passed the B1 exam on the first try with a perfect score! Tamara 17 - ### The first step into a new life After receiving my B1 certificate, I'm now studying B2 and waiting for the recognition of my diploma from the University of Münster. Today I can communicate well with people and also with official authorities. I'm proud of what I've achieved and strive for even more success in the future. I wish the teacher and the DÜS Eckert school all the best and continued success. Hasan 33 - ### That's where the journey begins My German learning started with my first steps in Germany, but it was only at DÜS Eckert that I was truly able to master the language. Thanks to a talented teacher and the exciting topics in class, I really wanted to form sentences and respond. That's exactly where the journey into a new language begins. Now I'm preparing for the next language level and will soon be working as a logistics coordinator. Denys 36 - ### German, every day Learning German was a given for me, because I live here. In the course, I didn't just learn the language, but also German culture. The many conversations and the teacher especially helped me integrate better. Now I work with my wife in her business and speak German every day. Pajtim 34 ## The first step is hardest. We make it easy Book your free consultation.
