Servus, mein Name ist Ping-Chau!

Ich besuchte den Kurs "Deutsch für den Beruf" mit 15 anderen Kommilitonen, die zum teil schon langjährige Arbeitserfahrung gemacht haben. Ich finde den Kurs ganz sinnvoll, man lernt unheimlich viel. Sowohl von den Lehrern als auch von den Kommilitonen. Ich will den Kurs auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Und wenn du Lust dazu hast, dann mach mal mit!

Servus, my name is Ping Chau!

I attended the course "German for Work" with 15 other students, some of whom already had many years of work experience. I find the course very useful - you learn loads. Not just from the teachers but from the other students. I would definitely recommend taking the course. If you have the time and inclination, join up!
