Before I came to Germany, I was looking for an intensive German course that would give me the opportunity to successfully start an engineering degree in Germany. I fond the "Let's get started" course in Deggendorf, which gave me exactly this opportunity. I attended the course from 15 March to 30 September 2015. During this time I not only got to know a lot of German but also many people from all over the world. In the winter semester 2015/2016 I started to study mechatronics at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Thanks to "Let's get started" the beginning of my studies was not that difficult, because we learned many scientific terms in the subjects mathematics, physics and computer science already in the course. I am now in my third semester and passed the previous semesters successfully.

After two semesters of General Engineering at DIT, I wanted to perfect my German by taking part in the preparatory semester "Let's get started". So I started the programme on 17 March, 2015. At the end of July I successfully passed the TestDaF exam. In October of the same year I started the study "Resources and Environmental Management" at DIT. I find this preparatory course with its practical learning methods by highly qualified professors very efficient. During the course, reading and listening comprehension are practised very intensively. In addition, great importance is attached to correct writing and speaking during the course. We were students from different countries and yet we always spoke German in class. I find that very important. Furthermore, there was always a great atmosphere in the course and it was great fun. So I can recommend "Let's get started" 100% to other students.

I was informed by fellow students about the possibility of a German preparation course at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Therefore I completed the "Let's get Started" German preparation course in the summer semester 2016. I had mainly satisfying and wonderful experiences not only with the course but also with my whole stay here in Deggendorf. Personally, I think that the course is very well structured. The lecturers have helped us to practice the course materials intensively. For me the content of the course was interesting and informative. In addition, the lecturers are very friendly and helpful. I am infinitely grateful for them because without them I could not have passed the exam that well. Furthermore, the people here in Deggendorf are friendly and nice. I have had some unforgettable experiences and they have impressed me very much. At the moment, I'm studying full-time here at the university in the mechatronics course and so far I'm doing quite well. Nevertheless, I am very much looking forward to my student life here in Deggendorf. Above all, I feel very happy that I have the opportunity to study here. 

• Krastyo Stoychev, Bulgaria

My name is Krastyo Stoychev and I come from Bulgaria. I came to Germany five years ago to study engineering. Since my German language skills were not sufficient, I first took part in the preparation course "Let's get started" in 2012. "Let's get started" gave me the right start for my studies. The comprehensive course programme not only improved my German language skills, but also taught me the basics in all the main subjects. Furthermore, "Let's get started" familiarised me with the German university system. In addition to the lessons, there were also numerous excursions and cultural events where you could see the sights of Germany. "Let's get started" was like a family for all participants because of the commitment and friendliness of the lecturers and organisers. Thanks to the preparatory semester, I successfully completed my Bachelor's degree Electrical Engineering within the standard period of study and currently I am continuing my studies in the master's degree at Deggendorf Institute of Technology. "Let's get started" - no other way leads faster to a successful study.
