Testimonials – German Language Classes
Here are just a few testimonials from recent German classes at the CALA Summer Language Institute:
“The CALA method is . . . effective . . . because it focuses more on increasing one’s knowledge in a stable manner, rather than just throwing a bunch of concepts and vocabulary at students and hoping that they catch some of them. It was all about a strong foundation.” —Duncan M., Recent College Graduate
“I’m amazed at how low-stress the method is–it’s so enjoyable! I feel like I’ll retain the vocabulary thanks to the contextualizing of the lessons.” —Anonymous
“[What I liked most was] retaining/learning things that I have struggled with for 4 years.” —Holden A., High School Student
“[The methods] work the best out of everything I have seen so far. It is also the most fun I have had learning [a] foreign language.” —Scott A., High School Student
“I am taking [a second semester college] German class . . . I feel more confident entering into the fall semester.” —James M., College Student
