I enrolled in German 101, and had a wonderful experience. It was alittle difficult to manage 2 classes per week for 2 hours at a time, but it certainly helped me to get through the basics of the language. I plan to enroll myself again in September, but this will be a program internally within my company, so I'm not sure that it will be as good as IKI. However, the program within my company will be free, and that says a lot.
Monthly, IKI has between 250 and 350 students from all over the globe learning German, and although the images below don't show it...there were about 12 different countries represented during my studies. Students, mostly working adults, came from all over the world; Montenegro, Serbia, Iceland, China, Ireland, Japan, United States, Portugal, Columbia, India, Malaysia, Norway, Czech Republic, and Germany (our Teacher).
In the images below, we are all pointed to where we come from on the map, which was alittle like playing Twister. If you click on the image of us standing shoulder-to-shoulder, you'll see the larger image of us, which also displays the Karlskirche in the background. A beautiful backdrop for class, it was great!
More about IKI...
They are an Österreichisches Sprachdiplom (ÖSD) examination centre and a member of the Union of Austrian Language Schools (CAMPUS AUSTRIA), which was founded by the Austrian Ministry of Education. IKI has two locations. The school office and five classrooms are located at Opernring 7, while five more classrooms are in Bösendorferstrasse 9. Both are close to Karlsplatz/Oper underground station which can be reached on the U1, U2 and U4 trains, the 1, 2, D, J, 62 and 65 trams, the 4A and 59A buses and on the Badener Bahn.
