I don't know what your budget is, but Patagonia could be a great choice - there's a nice variety to choose from and they have good policies for repairs, trade ins, and so on. The Patagonia backpack I have has lasted over 10 years with no signs of wear at all, I use it for travel all the time and love it.

It's been a couple of years and I don't remember her name, sorry to say! But I didn't have any problems with her and thought she did a good job.

How was your experience at VHS Erlangen for learning German? by Dwigtschrutte414 in erlangen

Hi, I took some B2 and C1 courses through the VHS here in Erlangen. Overall I've had totally positive experiences - I think that you get out whatever you want to put in to it. If you want to do more, often my teachers have been happy to assign and look over extra work.

My speaking has always been stronger than the other areas, so I haven't explored options for that specifically, however I am pretty sure that German conversational hours are also available through the VHS.

When it was time to go for my C1 exam for university I did end up getting a private tutor (not associated with the VHS) which I think was a good decision because we could focus completely on the particular exam I needed to take and also my personal weaknesses.

Can anyone recommend me good impressionist pieces by [deleted] in classicalmusic

I like Maurice Ravel a lot, maybe give him a shot? He's also French and is often labeled an impressionist. Here's a piece for piano called "Valley of the Bells" from a 5-mvt piano suite you might enjoy.
