어학원의 수업은 월-수, 목-금으로 나뉘어 각각 다른 선생님이 진행하십니다. 그래서 수업의 양과 질도 각 선생님들의 역량에 달려있습니다. 제가 수업을 받았던 대부분의 선생님들은 단어의 뜻과 동시에 쓰임도 알려주시고, 질문을 하면 상세히 대답해주셔서 그 부분이 좋았습니다. 또 모든 것을 독일어로 설명해주시기 때문에 다양한 표현 방법이나 구어체 표현도 함께 익힐 수 있었습니다. 수업은 문법, 듣기, 읽기, 말하기, 쓰기 영역을 모두 골고루 다루며, Intensivkurs를 수강하시는 경우 점심시간 이후로 말하기를 더 집중적으로 다루실 수 있습니다. 하지만 선생님의 수업 방식에 따라 Standardkurs에서 말하기 시간이 많이 주어지지 않을 수도 있으니 참고하시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 어학원을 통해 회화실력이 향상되기를 기대했는데, 수업시간 중간중간에 파트너와 이야기하는 시간을 많이 주셔서 그 때 열심히 참여하시면 회화실력이 조금씩 늘어가는 것이 보실 수 있을 것입니다. 어학원에는 매일매일 다른 'Kulturtermin'이라고 하는 액티비티가 매주 계획되어 있습니다. 계획표는 월요일마다 업데이트 되어 인포데스크 옆 게시판에 부착되어 있습니다. 원하는 사람만 신청하면 되는 방식이고 저는 다른 지역으로 여행가는 활동을 신청한 적이 있습니다. 가격도 저렴한 편이고 하루 안에 가서 선생님들께서 설명해주시는거라 큰 어려움이 없어서 좋았지만, 스케줄이 빡빡한 편이라 다소 피곤할 수도 있고, 밤늦게 역에 도착할 수도 있으니 이 점은 유의하시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 저는 셀프 어플라이와 어학원에서 연결해준 독일인 가정에서 홈스테이를 했습니다. 가장 만족도가 높은 이유는 제가 필요한 조건에 맞는 집을 찾아주시고, 좋은 호스트분들을 만났기 때문입니다. 그리고 함께 저녁식사를 했던것이 좋은 기억으로 남고 문화, 회화를 익히는 데 도움이 된 것 같습니다. 대체적으로 만족스러운 어학연수였습니다. 무엇보다도 숙소를 큰 어려움없이 구할 수 있었고, 수업도 본인이 매일 열심히 참여하고 노력한다면 어학실력에 큰 도움이 되는 것 같습니다. 매주 금요일에는 주간 시험이 있어 공부도 할 수 있고, 다양한 국적의 친구들이 있어 그들과 대화도 나누고 친구도 사귈 수 있었습니다. 단기, 장기 어학연수로 모두 추천합니다!
