“I chose to study German because I travel a lot to Switzerland and I wished to communicate fluently with local people there. What is more, knowledge of German creates great business opportunities in the United Kingdom as well as abroad.
“I had studied French and English in my home country of Poland, but the language course I took at Southampton Solent University has been the best learning experience so far. The tutors created a friendly atmosphere and provided us with great support and instructions. Moreover, the course was well balanced and consisted of all language aspects: grammar, listening, writing, reading and speaking.
“I really enjoyed having conversations with my teachers. Although I was a beginner in German, they urged me to think about accents and pronunciation and the conversations we practiced were all on topics I would find entirely useful in real life.
“I would strongly recommend a language course to everyone. If you know English or it is your native language, you already have an advantage when it comes to studying German. There are many similarities in grammar and vocabulary so it is not as hard as you might think.”
