Quality of courses, teaching, listening

Belem, Lisbon city and all its monuments

very good school

That my teacher always took some extra time after the individual lessons.

I really appreciated the help that the teachers gave me both on a personal and professional level.

Portuguese is a difficult language but it is very beautiful and interesting.

I really enjoyed participating in the recreational and cultural activities.

I had a very good teacher and the class had a comfortable size of 6-8 students.

- Quality of education - Meeting other international students.

It would be better to stay 2 weeks instead of 1 week.

Availability and efficiency of teachers and staff in general.

Although it's inevitable, there are some participants in the same course who have a different learning speed and a different level of preparation.

Definitely an experience to be repeated. The afternoon activities and services like the library and videos should be explained and promoted more comprehensively.

The afternoon activities

My structure (Cial 41) was not very well equipped ...

The pleasant climate in the school, the very polite and extremely competent teachers, the very dedicated people in the Secretariat, the great coffee from the vending machines, recreational activities, ie: just EVERYTHING! There were two great weeks you shouldn´t miss! A big thank you to each individual and the organization!

There is so much offered, just watch and participate, it's worth determined.

I would recommend CIAL anyone who would like to learn our language, I have been most successful with CIAL.

Classes in small groups, great teacher.

Professor

The center houses have no heating

2 weeks, equivalent to 13 nights and 14. equivalent to 6 nights a week instead of 7. Caution

well organized and enthusiastic

Lessons, Teacher

super professors, international contacts, super cultural program

cultural program, contacts to the other students

More help or possibilities for renting an apartment, for example

It's very difficult for me to mention what I liked mostly about the school, because I liked it all. Teachers are very good and professional, the school is very well organised, books are very good, and the atmosphere at school is very friendly and warm. I'm going to go back to that school next year or in two years to continue studying portuguese. I was fully satisfied with CIAL and recommend that school to others.

Exact information about the weather in Portugal.

I think the school should forbid students using the mobiles during the lessons and very clearly inform them about switching them off for the time of the lessons.

small class, friendly teacher with a good sense of humour

I had an amazing time in Lisbon. I enjoyed sightseeing as well as going to the language school. It's a great school!

the good asmosphere of the school.

the school and the teachers were good and relaxing so really good place to start speaking the language.

teacher's preparation

the city is beautiful

nothing else

The teacher!

Take at least 4 weeks lessons

The atmosphere is nice

?????

Too bad that the course duration is too short. It would have been more effective to complete courses at 13h instead of 12h, especially since it is a half hour break

very good atmosphere

activities in the afternoon

I loved my month in CIAL. People are very nice and helpful, and it is also a very good opportunity to meet new people and start friendships for life with other students! Afternoon activities are a very ggod option to spend time and get to know the city, and also to know the other students and practice portuguese! The only 'bad' thing of the schhol is the organisation: it may happen that new people come on Mondays, and the professor would do the same programme again, so if you arrived one week earlier, you will be obliged to do everthing once again.

The teachers and the students ! I had the chance to attend the classes of 4 of them; all are amazing people not only because of their competencies. They turned out to be interesting,kind, patient, funny and helpful. I wish all future pupils could meet Ana, Isabel, Orlando and last but not least, Carlos. I must have been lucky. The students ! I now have an American and Bulgarian friend. This has no value...

Parc of Nations (North Lisbon) & Ericeira (on the coast)

This school allows you to meet people from all over the world ON TOP of learning portuguese. You should be able to make the most of your trip to Lisbon.

Very good teacher.

Additional program in the afternoon. Above all Belem!

They have no separation between grammar and conversation class. That means that there is only 1 theacher (and 1 kind of pronunciation). Usually in language-schools this separation exists. I think it ist important to know this. Some colleagues said that they were in families who did not talk to them. I was lucky, my mum was retired and happy to have someone to talk to.

Since the first moment, I apreciated the atmosphere, very warm and professional at the same time.

Social activities should be made exclusively in Portuguese, not in English as it happened most of times.

kindness of the staff and the teachers

Excellent teachers, serious programming.

good atmosphere and plenty of activities with the school

CIAL is a nice school, although their teaching methods are a little bit outdated...

Teachers are great, I enjoyed working and learning with them, all of them were helpful and positiv!

Prepare yourself for some hard work!

I loved the atmosphere in the school, in the afternoon we went to different places-museums, old town -with our guide and I definitely improved my Portuguese in only two weeks. The course was very intense, but great.And I loved the old beautiful building in the Actor Taborda street 55.

Activities, because they are included in the course-fee and you do not have to pay for them.

teachers

individual lessons were great

very friendly and competent school. The teachers were largely very motivated and even spent breaks chatting to the students in portuguese

Teachers were well prepared and committed

I have a very high opinion of the Scholl and its staff.
