Has anyone been to Logo sprachenschule? Any reviews?

i know someone who did a month at Logo last year, they said the teaching was solid but the building is kinda basic, like a converted office near hermannplatz. for 460 vs 950 you're basically paying half price for a no-frills experience, which is fine if you just want to learn and don't need fancy extras like a cafe or student lounge. gls has a nicer campus near the sbahn but honestly for three weeks you're not gonna use those amenities much anyway, i'd save the cash and grab extra coffee at barn instead

i know someone who did a month at logo last year and they said the teachers were solid but the classes were pretty mixed in terms of level. like you might get stuck with people who barely know "hallo" when you can already order a beer. for 460 euro it's not bad but don't expect much conversation practice, it's more textbook focused. if you're set on saving money maybe check out sprachenatelier near alexanderplatz, similar price range and they do more speaking activities in my experience

I've walked past Logo a bunch of times on my way to Markthalle Neun. The Hermannplatz location is loud and you'll be sharing the building with other schools, but the U7 and U8 are right there so getting to class is easy. For 460 euros you can't beat the price, and with the 350 you save you can actually afford to eat out for three weeks. Just don't expect any social events or extras, you're paying for classroom time and that's it.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
