“The lessons took place in very small groups. Water, coffee and tea are free. Very friendly helpful staff.”
Insider tip: “Two minutes away there is a good café with inexpensive regional cuisine for lunch.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Very good structure. But of course you can't expect miracles in just 5 days. Because it's been a long time since I went to school.
Other comments: Documents and communication will take place in English. So small basic knowledge should be available.
