"Très bonne expérience pour progresser en petit groupe avec un enseignant natif !"

H.A, student from France

This week of "intensive" version has been very positive.
The care was done upon arrival with a test to determine the level.

We join later his group to begin the week of classes.
Native teacher, very friendly and competent.

Classes are structured, both written and oral. Distribution of some written supports.

It is therefore ideal to progress, review concepts and learn news.

The very intensive course in very small group at the end of the morning is perfect to progress and to gain confidence in the oral.

Excellent experience that we will renew next year!
We have no experience for accommodation, since we rented an apartment.

"It was good although the lessons were sometimes very intensive"

Simon Fohn, student from UK

I would have liked more free time with the other students. My roommates were friendly. The teachers only speak German which was hard to understand, but nevertheless beneficial from a learning point of view! The food was average.
