*** PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO GOETHE INSTITUT ***
! Count on GI, fall into traps！
I learn here for six months, the teachers, staffs, courses, apartments, administration and everything are "terrible". I always feel that staying at home, using a free App is also more meaningful than studying in Goethe Institut.
(Unfortunately, the lowest rating is one star, I originally want to rate negative five stars)
The most ridiculous thing is that when they think you can not speak in English, they will speak English and make use of "misunderstanding" as an excuse. When they know you speak English, they will start the conversation in German resulting in generating more misunderstandings.
Moreover when you are alone in a foreign land and need to face a serious of problems regarding GI, GI has not only never solve the problem effectively and directly, but spend the time and thoughts on useless things. In my opinion, instead of employing time and thoughts to fool students (customers), why don't GI spend time and thoughts to make students having more progress in German?
The reasons I can recommend GI will make you:
1) More patient and good-tempered. You can fully understand what is "Nothing is impossible - because there is not the worst, only worse"
2) Having awareness of crisis to make you putting more efforts to self-learn German (but you will pull an all-nighter / burn the midnight oil)
3) Giving up learning German, and everyday having self-reflection endlessly: "Why I come to Germany / study in GI?!"
*** Please do not waste your money and time in GI, there are so many German schools (high quality and inexpensive), there are so many languages and cultures in this World. You are not supposed to spend money, be ill-treated and in return for nothing. ***
! Treasure your life, away GI！
Imagine when you purchase a fresh orange online, but end up in receiving a rotten orange. Please bear in mind that you are paying exact amount of money, don't think that "Better than nothing" to comfort yourself. A best known institution can be an unscrupulous institution. Paying the money for a five star hotel, but returning in abysmal services. This is the fault of the service providers, not the service of the customers!
The following links will give you a brief idea of what I happened at Goethe-Institut for half a year. I also understand that GI does not deal with these issues in a positive way, so the students can read it as a reference. I hope that this tragedy will not appear again in any other students. (Unfortunately only in English is available)

PS: Please do not waste time to reply / report me, and please do not use GI's staff's Facebook account to rate five-star, as this will make you do not know what is the genuine rating of your service, and affect the judgement of all the people! Nowadays who can easily make money, Goethe Institut do you know?

如果您是亞裔／有色人種⋯⋯
如果您不是精於英語／喜歡說話⋯⋯
如果您／您的家人的金錢是得來不易⋯⋯
如果您真心希望學好德語／專心學業去獲得更好的將來⋯⋯
如果您對德國有好感⋯⋯
＊＊＊我真心不建議您們入讀歌德學院。＊＊＊
！指望ＧＩ，中伏保證！
我在這兒讀了半年，這裡的師資、職員、課程、宿舍等等的一切都只能以「一團糟」來形容。我經常覺得留在家中並使用隨便一個免費的Apps也更為有用。
（可惜最低的評分是一星，我原本想選負五星的）
最可笑的是，當他們以為您不會英語，他們就會不停說英語，並以您英語差勁而用「誤解」作擋箭牌；當他們知道您會英語時，他們就會只用德語而產生更多的「誤解」。
而當您獨自在異鄉卻面對各種問題的時候，GI非但從未正面解決問題，反而把時間和心思花在沒用的地方上；對我來說，與其花心思和時間在玩弄客人，為何不拿那些心思和時間讓客人的德語有更大的進步呢？
我唯一能推薦的是，這麼差勁的學院，會讓您：
1）耐性和脾氣變得更好，並充分地明白什麼是「沒有什麼是不可能－－因為沒有最糟，只有更糟！」
2）有足夠的危機感，以令您努力的自學德語（但會爆肝）
3）放棄德語，並每日n(n+1)省吾身：「為什麼我會來德國／就讀歌德學院啊？！」
＊＊＊請不要浪費您的金錢和時間，德國語言學校何其多（還要價廉物美），世界的語言和文化何其多，您不是應份花錢、受氣並換來一場空。＊＊＊
！珍惜生命，遠離ＧＩ！
例如當您在網上看到一個新鮮的橙並進行網購，但如果收到一個爛橙的時候；請緊記您是支付了足夠的金錢，而不是用「就算是爛的總好過沒收到」來安慰自己。出名也不一定不會是黑店的！付了五星級酒店的價錢，卻獲得九流的服務，並不是客人的問題，是服務提供者的行為啊！
以下的連結能夠讓各位粗略了解我在歌德學院那半年發生的事情，我也明白歌德是不會正面處理這些問題的了，所以只能讓莘莘學子作為參考，希望不會再有像我這樣的悲劇重演。（但暫時只有英語版）

PS：請不必浪費時間回覆／檢舉我，也請不要再用歌德職員的私人帳號來給五星了，這樣不但會讓您們無法真確知道您們的真正的服務質素，還會影響到別人的判斷耶！這個年頭又有多少人能夠輕鬆賺錢啊，真是的！
