The weekend crash course I took was extremely intense and stimulating, but that was exactly why I selected a total immersion crash course. The classroom is located in the heart of Germany, within a few kilometers from former East Germany. The landscape is pretty and the villages quaint. Ms Weiss was extremely proficient at teaching methodology and I was impressed with her professionalism. A well traveled and well learned individual Ms Weiss provided an excellent interlocutor for my specific needs of conversational German. I enjoyed the day trips and can also attest that when it comes to cooking Ms Weiss is a real "cordon bleu ". Residential Weekend Special

Helga, just a letter to thank you for a great language experience! Everything was just perfect - a gracious hostess, the lessons, the inspiration, the beautiful location, the hospitality, the fine food and the conversation. Our daughters were really impressed with the German you taught them and I hear them testing their new skills on me every morning. A multilingual European has a more secure future and we are happy to see our children off to an early start. We want to thank you for the very special effort that you put into your work. Your approach was very professional in every way: It was so complete and so specifically tailored to our needs. Of course, the language cannot be mastered in two weeks and so we intend to see you again soon. With lots of affection. 2 weeks Intensive Course (the family stayed at the Seehotel, residential for Hilde).

Excerpts of a letter to Ralf Baehring, Volkswagen Coaching GmbH, Wolfsburg and Mike.Beamish@vw.com, August 5, '98: I want to thank you for helping me with my German language training. I especially want to thank you for using Helga Weiss of The Language Experience as the teacher. Her style of training was the best I have ever had. There was one thing she said that impressed me the most. She told me that as a teacher she must asses the students needs and adapt the training to that person. She did more than that. She did not treat me like a short time student but as a teacher who would be with me for a long time, she became a good friend. 2 weeks Intensive Course

As a science teacher for over 20 years I have some experience with the teaching process. I found the techniques that Helga uses to be effective, enjoyable and specially suited to my needs. She was able to tailor her course specifically to my greatest needs, so that in a two week period I progressed from a situation where I was paralyzed by slow recall to a point where I felt relatively comfortable expressing myself in limited German. Besides her excellent language teaching, Helga extended herself to help me make contact with schools in the region in order to extend my other interests, and she taught me many customs, patterns and habits in Germany which made life easier and less embarrassing. I highly recommend her Lang/Ex Lite course for anyone who has some German language experience but who still needs a lot of help. 2 weeks residential Lang/Ex Lite

It was astounding how much I learned. The Language Experience uses methods that reflect the very latest brain research into how people best learn. An informal and friendly setting, one-on-one instruction with topnotch teachers, and the opportunity for contact with native speakers outside of class time all help make the Language Experience a step above other total-immersion language programs. I don't believe there's a better way to learn German fast. 4 weeks residential Intensive Course, 2 weeks residential Intensive Course

This intensive course was very useful and a great experience for me. I appreciated the special attention given to my needed work related German language skills. I had no problem keeping my concentration and enjoyed learning German with the dynamic team at the Language Experience. The location in Northern Germany, where "Hochdeutsch", dialect free German is spoken, was also important to me. This way I could practice my newly acquired skills in close by towns, while shopping or eating dinner at a restaurant. I found the relaxed setting in a recreational area very conducive to study intensively. 2 weeks residential Intensive Course
