S&W Training Sprachen und Wirtschafts GmbH

	Christine Jones “Despite having made more progress than I thought possible this week, my German vocabulary does not do justice to this professional and charming team who have created an empathetic and challenging atmosphere in which to learn to speak German in the delightful town of Meersburg.”

	Carolyn Austin Process Manager Novartis “I have had a fantastic two weeks in Meersburg. I have learned more than I thought was possible and have actually enjoyed grammar! Both the hosts I had and the school were very helpful with living arrangements and the logistics of getting to Meersburg, and the location offered many opportunities to see a stunning part of Germany. The use of the room and facilities within the school at any time was particularly helpful. I would willingly study here again and think the results are well worth the work.”

	Paul Wilkinson Maus Frères SA Chief Financial Officer “I learnt a lot. Surprising thing: it was always stimulating and interesting too.”

	David Revitt Novartis Corporate NEM + BCM Manager “An enjoyable, challenging and rewarding week. Materials were provided in a very supportive learning environment, tailored to the needs of the individual. Superb!”

	Damien Doyle BASF Marketingleiter “Ich habe viel Deutsch gelernt. Ich freue mich auf das nächste Mal. Ich bin schon vier Mal hierher gekommen. Und ich komme wieder, weil der Kurs wunderbar ist.“

	Zac Hollis Head of Planning Skoda UK “This week has given my German another boost and has been invaluable in helping me prepare for the challenges presented by working in a foreign language. The balance between everyday language and the world of business was just right.”

	Paul Willis Director Volkswagen UK „Superb balance during the course! Theory, practise, and immersion. Also a chance to experience German culture.”

	Chris Gray Application Technology Wetend BASF “The course was better than I anticipated – not only in terms of improving my German level, but also I enjoyed the whole week and had soma fun – especially in the Vinothek.”

	Stephen Egli Senior Consultant Newton Industrial Consultants „If you want an intensive total immersion course, this is perfect!”

	John Young Chairman of the Management Board Atlas Elektronik “We all have different learning needs and we all respond to different methods of teaching. For me, the approach of S&W works extremely well; based on a good ‘feeling’ for my capabilities and needs, the S&W team have clearly demonstrated (over a number of separate weeks tuition) their ability to put together a programme which recognized my level of competence.”

	Louise Shaw Systems and Standards Manager ATOC Ltd. “The pace and style of the teaching was adapted perfectly to my needs. Just what I needed.”

	Irvin Bamford “S&W Training is for those who are serious about extending their skill in German and extending their knowledge of German culture and society. Teaching staff are all very capable, knowledgeable and interesting people. It is important for those attending S&W to be very clear about their needs and objectives. After that S&W will take over and make all the arrangements, including excellent accommodation, for an excellent learning experience.”

	Christian Georgeson Head of Consumer Launch & Lifecycle Management T-Mobile “The course not only provided the materials, stimulus, and teaching approaches that certainly helped ‘raise the bar’ on my language skills. It was delivered in a friendly (almost family like) environment.”

	Peter Wyhinny Volkswagen UK Direktor Nutzfahrzeuge “Everyone was really friendly and flexible and engaged in my style of learning. So we had great fun. You were all so generous with your stars (well deserved of course!). I had to charter a Zeppelin to take them all home! Many thanks, hope to see you all again.”

	Alison Nichol Doherty privat “I can recommend S&W Training highly. The teaching is professional and of a high standard but also fun (yes, German can be fun to learn). I came with my 2 young children and we all made good progress. The best German course that I have attended.”

	Raj Zala International Counsel Lafarge Roofing “Overall the experience at S&W removed or broke down a number of mental blocks about learning German and inspired me to continue learning .”

	Varsha Zala Zahnärztin Privat “Thank you very much! I didn’t think that I would enjoy learning German so much! “

	Oliver Larkin Volkswagen AG Investor Relations Manager “This one week immersion in German has given me the confidence to switch English ‘off’ in the office and insist on using German only. By the end of each day my head was full but I had achieved 7 hours of non-stop German. Wow! It is a real pleasure to learn with such a friendly team. Don’t be afraid of coming to Germany, come here and enjoy yourself!”

	Jonathan Bourne Executive Director UBS AG “I really enjoyed my one week intensive course with S&W Training. It was early summer and Meersburg and Lake Constance were looking particularly beautiful. Anka met me from the train on Sunday afternoon and it was non-stop German from then on. The accommodation was well-chosen and very friendly. Anka and Niels followed my pre-determined course requirements exactly. It was also a pleasure meeting my fellow students and a dinner at Mainau amongst the rose gardens with one of the tutors and a fellow student stands out in my memory. All-in-all an experience to be repeated.“

	Jeremy Godwin Senior Technical Specialist Syngenta AG “I found S&W’s approach to be first-class and without doubt the best language training that I have experienced. The total immersion approach is very effective although I would encourage others to at least have a little knowledge of German prior to starting at S&W. However, the real strength of S&W is the quality and commitment of their team members – absolutely outstanding!”
