„Der Kurs war gut organisiert. Die Lehrer waren sehr hilfsbereit und immer für uns da. Sie haben unseren Unterricht interessant und trotzdem sehr gemütlich gestaltet. Gefallen haben mir auch die Sprachspiele an den Nachmittagen – auf diese Weise sind die Kursteilnehmer sofort Freunde geworden.“

„Mehr als ein Kurs … mehr als ein Urlaub … eine unvergessliche Erfahrung!“

„Vielen Dank! Der Kurs hat mir sehr geholfen. Ich habe sehr viele nette Leute kennengelernt und hier drei schöne Wochen verbracht.“

„Deutsch in Österreich war einfach toll. Wir haben nicht nur die deutsche Sprache erlernt, sondern auch mit vielen Leuten aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern Spaß gehabt. Es ist eine sehr internationale Erfahrung und ich habe nur gute Erinnerungen daran. Jetzt habe ich viele neue Freunde auf der ganzen Welt.“

„Zum Kurs kann ich nur schöne Worte sagen, weil alles wunderbar organisiert war. Das Problem war nur, dass wir bei dem vollen Programm gar nicht richtig ausschlafen konnten, aber dafür haben wir ja zuhause genug Zeit. Ich will mich bei allen bedanken, die diesen Kurs organisiert haben und allen anderen kann ich nur raten: nehmt bitte teil, es lohnt sich!“

„Es ist schon richtig, dass es INTENSIV-Kurs heißt! Ich habe viel mehr gelernt als im Semesterkurs!“

„Learn German in Austria – or improving your ability – to speak a foreign language can be an enjoyable and rewarding part of international travel. We definitely discovered this to be true in September when we took a 2-week-course in intermediate German at the University of Klagenfurt in Austria. We found the small classes, conducted in modern university buildings, fun and stimulating and the teachers helpful and encouraging. We thoroughly enjoyed the other students, who came from a variety of countries. We stayed in the inexpensive youth hostel near the university; rooms were spartan but clean and comfortable. Klagenfurt is located in a quiet corner of southern Austria, away from the main tourist routes. A city of some 90,000 people, it is next to beautiful lake Wörthersee, has wonderful walking and bike paths and is surrounded by towering mountains. Summer and fall classes, for beginners through advanced, range from two to eight weeks in length.“

„For me, Deutsch in Österreich was a lifetime experience! Not only because of the high standards ensured by the quality of the faculty and the course content, but also because of the serene surroundings ideal for learning a foreign language. Teaching methods are effective with a focus on high degree of self-work supported by interaction between fellow students. Klagenfurt is a special place where I made new friends, thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking view of the Karawanken ranges, cycled along the picturesque Wörthersee and spent hours practicing German in a small, laid back city with very friendly people. Whether it is to sharpen my German language skills or to combine that with a great time in south of Austria … I would return to Klagenfurt if I can.“

„I took the intensive course autumn #2. We were in a class of 6 students including myself. I was the only Japanese in the class. We had students from Croatia, England, Italy, Russia and Sweden. I really enjoyed studying in this school and the lessons helped me a lot to brush up my German. I have had some intensive courses at other Austrian universities before, but I think that the courses here at the University of Klagenfurt are the best of all.“

„The course was great! It helped me lot with understanding, writing, reading and speaking. You can learn a great deal with these courses and the professors will assist and help you with any question and exercise. This course shoud be taken!“

„The only problem with the intensive course is that you don’t get to stay in Klagenfurt long enough. Everyone is so helpful, the city is so nice and you meet the greatest friends – you won’t want to leave! The nine o’clock starts can be a nuisance but everything else is wonderful!“

„I had a wonderful experience in Austria. I feel that I have learned more in one month than I learned in a year in my university. Being out into an atmosphere where German is spoken all around me has made me realize I have a long way to go, but I love German and I will learn it one day. I’ve also met so many international students and I’ve loved every day with them.“

„My experience in Klagenfurt was very unique. I learned a great deal in a relayed atmosphere. In addition I was able to meet people from all over the world and travelled throughout Europe. All in all it was a very positive experience that I would recommend to anyone.“

„The DiÖ program is to be highly recommended. The instructors are well-learned in their fields and are able to give individual help when requested. Klagenfurt is one of the best-kept secrets – the garden spot of Europe. The area is quite beautiful and the climate in summer generally pleasant. There are more opportunities to speak the target language than in other locations where I have taken similar language courses.“

„It was very pleasant to study in this course. We had a small group and wonderful teachers. We had a good practice in spoken German and interesting activities in the evenings. I’d like to stay here more or come again.“

„It was really great to be here, ‚cause I met so many new people and it’s the best language course of all. The school program was good. Klagenfurt is a really nice city but I had problems with the banks because they close that early. But in general it was GREAT!“
