“I spent a week in May 2010 with S&W Training improving
my German.
The course is intensive, and really does focus on the areas in which
you need to improve. I would strongly recommend it for anyone wanting
to improve their spoken / written German or who is taking up a position
in Germany and needs the language.” |

training school with very professional and friendly trainers.
The training is designed to suit the individual and the step by step

For the first time in 15 months I now understand the basics of the
German language and also the cultural elements to help me forward

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.”

Thank you!” |

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.” |

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.” |

number of mental blocks about learning German and inspired me to
continue learning .” |

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!” |

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.” |
