Goethe Institute HK

«Willkommen beim Goethe Institut Hongkong!»
Hong Kong is an international city and sometimes if you do not speak more than two or three languages, you may not be that of a competitive candidate in the eyes of employers, especially pretty much everyone hear speaks 3 languages already including English, Cantonese and Mandarin. If you are looking for a foreign language to pick up, and you are a big fan of Europe, try German.
If you have decided to learn German, I have at least heard of two places in Hong Kong that are well-​received. One is Goethe Institut. Located on the 14^th floor of Art Centre in Wanchai, it is a non-​profit German cultural association and it has branches over 159 countries to date. It mission of course is to promote cultural exchange and the study of German language. At times you may see some exhibitions at the gallery next to the reception that provides more information on German culture. There is also a library where you can borrow German textbooks, books, CDs or DVDs so that you can fully immersed yourself at home.
As for the quality of the teaching, I have to say that it highly depends on the teachers. You will be expected to have a new teacher in every new term (which lasts around 9 to 10 weeks), therefore, chances are you may know quite a few teachers. Personally, there are quite a few good teachers there unfortunately I cannot go into details here but all I can say is they are i) a very funny male teacher who can make the class rather interesting; ii) a young male teacher who writes down the articles whenever we are introduced to a new noun; iii) a tall female teacher who comes up with interactive games to play with us, iv) a female teacher who sounds really professional.
Though I have to admit it is not much useful to know German here in Hong Kong but who knows, it might come in handy one day and it certainly looks rather dashing to be able to have basic conversation in German; that might go a long way.
