"In August 2008, I spent 3 weeks with Sputnik during my stay in Zagreb. My studies obliged me to learn Croatian, so I had already 3 semesters of Croatian language courses behind me in Berlin and needed some more intensive training. I must say, that my teacher Ana quickly got a good overview of what my level was and adapted the lessons to that, which was for me both a fun way to learn and at the same time a challenge, because she was sure never to make things too easy. We also went outside the classroom walls to have lessons, which was a lovely experience. A very good thing is that Sputnik works with the European Language Portfolio, as I need the official papers to show at university."
