Headliner/story: Tony is from England, and has started an internship in Germany. He will help you through the lessons using his wit, daily life experiences in all forms, and the German which he uses throughout his daily life.
 


Together with him you will not only learn dialogues and get to know our culture and lots of people but also you´ll get to know real life: business relations and hard work under stressful conditions. Maybe, he will even fall in love in Germany, but we won't give away any more than this…..

It´s Germany ! Let´s see each other there. Viel Spass !
