Working in such a multicultural country makes it possible to get to know different nations - their languages, mentalities and ways of communicating. It is very inspiring.

My name is Jakub Stańczuk. I am a radiology specialist from Siedlce, a small town near Warsaw in Poland. My mother tongue is Polish. I also speak English and a little German - I would like to improve the latter in the future.
I decided to pursue a career in Switzerland because I wanted to work in a new environment and develop both professionally and personally. When I saw the job offer, I applied straight away. I was introduced to the "Lingua" language concept by Swiss HRmed following my application.
I think that the Lingua language concept offers a very good opportunity to facilitate a smooth start in a new team in a foreign country. In addition, the program offers the chance to get to know life abroad even before the actual move to Switzerland. I not only learn the German language, but also get to know new habits and ways of thinking that differ from those in my home country.
During my language course, I lived in a private home on the outskirts of Munich. It took about 30 minutes to get to the school by S-Bahn. The language school was located directly above the S-Bahn station, which was very convenient.
In my free time, I enjoyed taking long walks through the city. I particularly liked Marienplatz, the English Garden and the Olympic Park. On free weekends, I often took the opportunity to visit other Bavarian cities and get to know more of the region.
The experiences during the course and the time in Munich helped me a lot to find my way around linguistically and culturally.
I really enjoyed the lessons. I got to know people from all over the world - these contacts are priceless because they facilitate intercultural exchange. If anyone is thinking about working in a German-speaking country and wants to communicate well with future colleagues, I can recommend the concept without reservation.
My stay in Munich lasted a total of six to seven months. Five days after my TELC exam, I started working at a university clinic in Zurich.
Working in such a multicultural country makes it possible to get to know different nations - their languages, mentalities and ways of communicating. It is very inspiring.
Even after more than 6 years, almost every weekend feels like a mini-vacation! This is due to the many attractive (outdoor) activities you can do here and the beautiful surroundings. It never gets boring!
Without Brigit, I would probably still be in the same place. She helped me get my diploma recognized and also helped me find a new job as a nurse.
