EF has given me great support for my travels. They are open for discussions and communication is easy. I always feel like I can talk to them on an eye-to-eye level whenever I have a question. I also enjoy being part of the community they are building which helped me to get to know many interesting people.

The EF program was engaging and attractive from the beginning. My host family (in my case) was very kind and friendly . But most of all, teachers in EF were very helpful, inspiring and passionate. I really enjoyed my two weeks in EF (Berlin).

One of the best experiences I have ever made in my life! EF Berlin is one of the most heart-warming and caring schools I have ever experienced. They have teachers that always have great quality during their classes/lessons and their staff is always helpful. Especially is their activity leaders always happy and have a great desire to always guide you through all the activities in Berlin. I also had the honor to live with a wonderful guest family where I hope always to keep in touch with them. If you are on the fence of joining EF Berlin I would say go for it every time! I have created so much new friendships and the lessons is really good. It is with a heart filled with gratefulness I leave EF Berlin.

AVOID !!!3 weeks with EF, just expect to lose yout time and money . A disaster! You won't get service. First of all the family was just not there to welcome my soon, another student gave him the keys. Expecting a full immersion with a family .. this is what they sell but the family was just not there.. not talking everyone So..no immersion at all.. the best is that the other student was french .. so if expected any german conversation at home...I changed my soon to a residence finally in the center of Berlin.. where of course there where non german speaking students.

Academic is a disaster , they placed my soon with with students that never have spoken a word of german .. they never replied the requested attendance sheet . So i could not know if my soon had attend or not all his classes.

He is back now, he spend a nice holidays but he didn't improve or learned any german. So if i had paid private german classes in our town , he would learned more.

EF Lausane director replied , covid situation they have not overseas students so mainly french student in school. But this was never announced when i booked the 3 weeks.

They have lost host families because COVID , so you won't have choice to change to another family if there is a problem. I had to pay additional 580chf to transfert him to the residence .... and again nobody expressed sorry for the bad service or negleted family. I am still expecting the presence sheet.

What a pity for a institution like EF, really disappointed.

I went on an exchange to Australia for one year when I was 16. EF was suppoused to help me and be there for me if I had any problems. They didn't. I wanted to change the family and they told me I had to find my own. My supervisor was living an hour away from me and was never there for me nor really interested. I could write a whole article about how bad everything went and how alone I was feeling being all the way from home on the other site of the planet without any help from the organisation that was suppooused to look after me. AND then paying a huge amount of money for that aswell. I would really not recommend EF.

I recommend everything about EF Berlin, It is a great option to learn german language, to learn about german culture, and to visit the best places in Berlin. All the teachers and their ways of teaching are great, and also the extra activities are lovely (Stammtisch on Wednesdays overall).
