I’ve been at the Goethe Institute Mannheim for 2 weeks now. It is a cool place. It runs really well, it is very organized, the teachers (mine at least, that I know) is super attentive the needs and also the wants of the students. The evening activities programme is quite full, interesting and relatively inexpensive. You can see the receptionist in one of the photos. Her name is ‘Bonka’, which I personally think might be the best name in the history of names. Bonka knows all of the students by name (quite a few) and is able to help you with whatever you want, and if she can’t she’ll find someone who can. On the first floor there is the ‘Mediatech’, basically a library. The librarian (sorry, I forgot her name) is super helpful also. You can see in the classes that the student:teacher ratio is very good and the classes run 90 minutes, 15 break, 90 minute, 30 break, 45 minutes, which means you start at 8:30 and finish at 1pm. Tip: If you want to eat or have a coffee, there are coffee machines on every floor and in the college next door there is a canteen where you can eat all of the German favourites, plus a revolving daily menu, which is always between 3.2 and 4.2 Euros. The food is good, and above that, very good value for money. You can also buy a drip-filtered coffee there for 1Euro.
