"The learning atmosphere in the course was great."

David Maiko Runne, student from Germany

The course was very productive. I improved my English language skills a lot. The teacher and the staff were very friendly. The class size was small.I liked the activities, but I did not like playing tennis. I wanted to play mini golf, but the other students wanted to play tennis. I also liked the way though the park to the school.

"Even if was in an other language, I have been laughing a lot!"

Freja Staugaard Werner, student from Sweden

I liked the teacher, Emma, because she could talk in a way that I understood. She used easy words. She used gestures with her hands, I like that.
