My teacher Natalia did very well with the large class of pupils.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
I was not lucky with a class o 14 pupils.
Only when they reach 15 students the class is divided
Other comments
The intake: Just a short conversation decided that I should be on level B1. However, I had obtained level C1 through another school previously (total of 10 weeks).An examination on paper should be requested.
