    "Eva is an amazing teacher! She taught me all the basics of German with a very professional and fun, practice-oriented methodology. She has excellent working material with which I was able to learn to communicate and write in German in a couple of months. Through conversations or texts that are used in everyday life, I learned a lot from Eva. Thanks to what I learned with Eva I was able to make contacts and friendships around the world thanks to German. Thank you very much, Eva!"
