Anda Sprachschule

They closed the school and stole my money

Couple days ago, I got this email from them:

"Dear students,

We hope you and your families are healthy in these difficult times. We have to share some bad news with you. Unfortunately, the closing down of Anda School by German authorities has taken away our business foundation. We are no longer allowed to offer physical courses to our students, while at the same time we still have our obligations like classroom rent, administration team and teacher salaries. This is an unsustainable situation for us which is why we are forced to close our beloved school after 10 years. This makes us very sad.

You had booked a course at Anda which we cannot offer you anymore. We offer you that we pay back 50% of the down payment you have made to Anda.

The alternative is that we (you and Anda) go through the process of insolvency, which normally is taking many years in Germany to resolve and only leaves you the chance to claim a fraction of the payment you made to Anda. Since many companies are going insolvent in Germany due to the Corona crisis, the Administration will probably take even longer than usual, with dealing with insolvent companies. Beside you need to find and pay a lawyer. This is something you do not want, nur do we. Therefore, we both have an interest in resolving this matter direct with you. Please let us know your response and if you have any questions, If you agree let us know and provide us your bank account details so that we can refund your down payment within 20 days.

If you agree with our proposal, please sign the letter of debt relief which you can find attached and send it back to us.

This offer is valid till 30 th of April 2020."

I paid almost 5000 Euros and I have days answering that email and they just disappear, they don't answer the phone calls, they don't answer the emails, they stole my money.

That is pretty sad because I was saving money since 3 years and those were all my savings, now I'm without money and without classes.

They did not even propose another solution, they don't say if in fact are going to return my 50% or if they are going to take whole my money.

If you are in the same case, feel free in writing me [email protected]

I can highly recommend it!

I had a great experience at Anda Sprachschule.
I took the B1 and B2 intensive German courses and I'm very satisfied. I received the best possible preparation and support for the TELC B2 exam. Everyone at the school is friendly and helpful, the groups are rather small and the teachers are very competent. My teacher, Beate, is extremely patient, always made sure that we understood everything and answered all of my (many) questions.
I can only recommend it! Thank you all :D

Great!

It was my second time at Anda. It is a fantastic located school with wonderful teachers who don't hesitate in offering you their help. My teacher's name was Ralph and the best german teacher I have ever had, I learnt a lot and didn't get bored in all the hours of class. I couldn't recommend more this school!

Very good teacher and amazing group

I had the pleasure to go to school in Friedrichshain, for my bildungsurlab (educational leave, for 5 days a year allowed by the german goverment to go and learn new things).
I didn't know what to expect, but I was nicely greeted by the nice ladies working in the office and they've explained everything to me. I even got a walk around the school and got introduced to all facilities and what the school can offer.
But, when the course started I realized I had the best group and the best teacher. It felt like fun, and I was eager to learn more and to be there everyday, rather than feeling like it's school in its standard term. The teacher, made things simple for us by explaining in german in such a way we could grasp it, he would give us real life examples and made sure we use the right form of it in conversations.
The area has bakeries, a small shop/edeka, coffee places and most importantly close to the Tram station.
I recommend this school and its employees with all my heart. In fact I decided to continue to learn german at this school.

I loved my experience at ANDA

Great family neighborhood, small school with great atmosphere. Just really nice. Great teacher - thank you Laeticia! - exactly the kind of school I was looking for.

Very positive experience

I've attended to intensive German courses in Anda for 3 months and my experience was overall very positive.

Advantages:
1. A small sized language school, almost no bureaucracy, a warm and friendly aproach to the students, they are flexible and very helpful in solving problems.
2. I had a first class teacher, very motivated, experienced, creative, patient... Carlos was always very well prepared to the lessons, I don't remember even one boring lesson with him.
3. In Anda there is an option to borrow the books rather than buying them.
4. There is a kitchen in both buildings in Anda, it's always possible to find coffee and tea, the kitchen is aslo the perfect location for socialising.

Perfect teacher & sufficient course materials

The teacher was perfect. I started with 4-weeks course and continued 6 more weeks. The location was super. The course materials were sufficient. The teacher always gave additional exercises considering our needs. It really helped me to improve my language skills.
