Iki language academy is by far the best school in Vienna. Very professional staff from first contact on. And Harald is... the best teacher I have ever had. He speaks multiple languages from Latin to Japanese. He explains the origins of the words methodically and professionally. Harald makes learning German language a great experience and a lot of fun. What is for non-native speakers a miracle :) All in all a great school and definitely the best and the fastest way to learn German in Vienna.read more

I have had several language teachers in different languages, Harald stands out among them. He is a polyglot and his... linguistically oriented approach enabled me to draw comparative parallels with other languages and provided a better learning experience. He always explained the origin of German words that helped me memorize them more quickly. His teaching method also provided somewhat logic in German grammar :-) I highly recommend him and IKI without any reservation.read more

Having used 3 leading German teaching schools in Vienna, IKI is my preferred institute. Combining experienced and very... friendly teachers of character (Eos, Harald, Katharina in my case) with memorable and fun ways of effective delivery (pre-Corona) – IKI assets over other places in my opinion, I found A1>B1 well taught. Classes are also regularly inspected at random by independent external regulatory inspectors. Class sizes have ranged from about 20 students A1-ish to 10 A2+ (there is a tendency to gravitate to about 15 while 10 is better) with a good mix. The suddenly forced switch to online in March 2020 due to Corona was a jolt to all but Zoom worked well enough and teachers delivered very well despite some students having difficulties with getting books due to Corona (IKI managed to source later). While online has its virtues, in-class teaching is a better modality, enabling more student interactions for me and fun physical creative classroom activities (as opposed to virtual side-rooms which are next best). IKI has since offered back to class options, hopefully with cooler rooms in summer! I would liked to have had a little more interactive feedback from the IKI Administrator to student concerns and a bit more distributed printed/emailed classroom-filled content from teachers (this was upset by Corona also and online storage is so-so). All in all, I found IKI a superior qualitative resource for learning and had fun without being coerced into German!read more

I took three elementary levels of German (my 5th foreign language!) in IKI and will continue with the B1 level this... coming spring. They have excellent teachers, students are serious, groups small and the venue is very central. Totally recommended!read more

I have been to several schools in Vienna and I was so disapointed that I stopped studying German for 1 year. IKI is the... only language school which uses a communicative approach. As a language teacher myself I am absolutely thrilled by the teaching methods and the enthusiasm of the staff: Andreas helped me to get my B2 diploma in record time! And Martin helped to feel confident to talk in German. If I could i would give them 10 stars.read more

I've started learning Deutsch from very basic in IK. I already finished B1 and all levels were presented in an... enthusiastic way. I really learned more than my expectations from these courses. There are too many good points about IKI, especially with their teachers and also their working-group at the main office (unbelievable people). Thank you for the great course, great presentation style with lots of opportunities to ask questions and speaking. I don't have any experience with the other institutes in Vienna, but I heard so many advantages about IKI from my friends who had experiences in both IKI and others. So, come to IKI if you want to enjoy and get progress in your German skills ;-)))read more

I've been with IKI for quite a while already and made a full path from A1 to C1 here. In parallel, here and there, I... also tried out some other language schools in Vienna - just to get a feeling what other schools are - but I always returned back to IKI, since this school definitely floats my boat. Location is great. Timing is convenient. But their real treasury are their teachers! And I am very much grateful they've managed to get such a team. And in the first turn I would like to mention two of them. One is Andreas whose charm gave me such a boost to learn more&more, and another is Harald whose learning method made me simply love German as a language! Well done guys! You are the best in class in Vienna!read more

Great school, sound teachers! Had the opportunity to have few different teachers and really enjoyed the classes!... Especially learning from Harald Afling was pure pleasure since he has unique approach of explaining and transferring the knowledge he has, including etymology and logic within many-to myself- illogical aspects of the German language. Once learned like that there’s no way to forget it! Would definitely recommend it!read more
