"Really worthy"

Carla De Sada Cardiel , student from France

From my point of view the school was fantastic and I’ve really learnt much with all the teachers. Overall I recommend the school to anyone wishing to improve their language skills. The teachers were always happy to help students with anything so that made the process of learning less though.

"Not what I had expected, but quite good"

Isabella Victoria Frejlev Westring, student from Denmark

The location was absolutely fantastic, being close to a lot of things thereby making it very easy to get around! The people that I met are also very nice and they were all very helpful. When it comes to the teachers, they were quite nice, but the ones that were teaching me couldn’t speak a lot of English. It was also kind of hard to understand what they were saying when they were speaking french. All in all a good experience, but I do wish I would have learned more.
