I
spent
two
of
the
happiest
weeks
of
my
life
at
CDC
Berlin.
The
time
spent
there
was
a
holiday
aimed
at
pursuing
a
new
interest
in
life.
As
a
sixty
year
old
new
starter
in
the
German
language,
the
staff
were
always
going
to
be
challenged.
I
was
in
a
class
of
very
mixed
nationality
and
ability.
Thankfully,
by
ten
months,
I
was
not
the
oldest
in
the
class!
The
remainder
if
the
class
were
in
their
twenties.
Before
I
arrived
in
Berlin,
the
School
had
warned
me
that
the
age
gap
was
likely
to
be
significant
and
asked
if
I
considered
this
to
be
a
potential
problem.
There
were
no
problems.
Classroom
work
was
on
an
individual
and
on
a
syndicate
basis.
This
meant
that
team
work
was
essential.
The
teaching
staff
were
excellent,
understanding
and
very
approachable.
The
administrative
staff
did
all
that
they
possibly
could
to
help.
The
teaching
environment
was
comfortable.
The
extra
curricular
activities,
which
were
not
compulsory,
were
well
organised
and
allowed
students
to
see
life
outside
the
classroom,
to
mix
with
other
students
and
to
converse
in
the
only
language
common
to
all
of
us.
I
have
made
contacts
with
students
of
all
ages
and
with
the
staff
at
CDC.
I
met
people
whom
I
will
never
forget
and
have
memories
that
will
never
leave
me.
Why
did
I
choose
CDC?
I
looked
at
various
language
schools
in
Berlin.
Every
time
that
I
e-mailed
with
a
question,
they
referred
me
to
their
website.
When
I
had
more
detailed
questions,
CDC
picked
up
the
telephone
and
actually
answered
the
question.
So,
the
choice
was
the
original
no-brainer!
Would
I
go
back
again?
Definitely.
