Max Mueller Bhavan or popularly known as MMB, Mumbai is a very interesting place to learn German in. In fact, the courses here have been of great help to me in getting excellent translation jobs in top companies.
MMB has also been a place where I got the chance to make lifelong friends who have come a long way in my life and also worked with me. In fact, my love for German language was enhanced when I learned the language from this institute.
The brightest students get to go to Germany on a scholarship or get a prize for participating in the local contests held in the institute. The notice board of the institute also lists all the latest job openings for the students of MMB. Max Mueller Bhavan also has cool merchandise with their brand name "Goethe Institut" for a reasonable price.
The institute uses multimedia, books and other materials alongwith visual and audio cues to help students learn the language better. There are both crash courses as well as individual and weekend courses available here - right from language courses to professional courses - you name it and they have it.
It was an enjoyable experience learning through videos, German movies, books, worksheets, German music and friends, who used to make the language seem funny and yet memorable. Our building at Flora Fountain, Mumbai makes it all the more interesting to learn, as the place is really beautiful and surrounded by architecture of British times. What makes it all the more enjoyable is the fact that everyone there is helpful, friendly and the staff is very helpful.
The classes here are highly interactive and you would get a chance to meet all kinds of people - right from creative ones to pranksters here. The latest course that was introduced was the translation course in German, which gives you a chance to visit Germany and do the rest of the course there - at your own cost, of course. It is still a priceless and a timeless experience, which would help enhance your career.
MMB also organizes German film shows and lets students participate in various festivals and programs that can help them improve their knowledge of German language. They even have a library to facilitate reading and to help you learn the nuances of the language thoroughly. The best place to be in next to home would be here.
Moreover, the building faces Rhythm house, a popular music store; Westside, a popular fashion store and transport facilities are also good here.
The courses here are so popular that they help people gain access to higher education in this language. I am proud to say that I am an MMB student and have completed my advanced diploma in German successfully from here.
