In Germany most immigrants get the language courses at 50% off because the government pays for half. I think that's a nice way to help people integrate, but then people like me are left out. I'm all "scheiss egal" to paying full price, but there are no spots left because the people paying half price - many of whom don't even want to be there - take up all the seats. I donno whether the schools have some deal with the government or what, but they don't seem to want to create more classes to accomodiate students who aren't getting the BAMF deal.
