I really love this language school! The atmosphere is great—we laugh a lot and get to practice speaking all the time. Katrin is honestly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had! She’s super patient, explains everything really well, and makes learning fun and easy. You can really feel yourself improving quickly. The school is also conveniently located, and everyone speaks English, which makes things much easier. I definitely recommend it!!!!!!!

I recently joined the super-intensive class taught by Karin Steiner. So far, it’s been amazing—her teaching style, the variety of activities throughout the lessons, and the caring and fun environment she creates in class have all made this experience truly enjoyable. I’ve noticed that I’m already picking up quite a bit of the language, and I’m able to use it when I’m out and about after just two weeks of lessons! I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn German!

On September 18, 2026, I took my “ Fide-Test ” exam at the “ ILS Bern .” I was greeted very warmly there, and I found the staff to be very friendly, patient, and pleasant.

I really hope I passed the test, because I really need the results. 😊 I can definitely recommend the ILS Bern .
