Insider tips about what future students should not miss
コンドミニアムや送迎を希望する時は、学校に直接頼んだ方が良い。このサイトを使った人に聞いたが、ひどいコンドミニアム（ホワイト・サンズ）を紹介されたが、変えてくれと言ってもらちがあかず、自分で別料金を払って別のホテルに移ったと言っていた。
また＄７０払って送迎を頼んだのに、誰も空港に来なかったと言っていた。
このサイトを通すと学校に入るお金が少なくなるのでそういう扱いを受けるようです。直接申し込んだ人に聞いたら、快適な所に入っていたし、「頼めば変えてくれる」と言っていました。

Das Niveau des Unterrichts ist meist zu niedrig und konnte nicht in eine andere Klasse wechseln, da ich bereits im höchsten Level (600) war. Ich dazu sagen, das ich sehr große Schwierigkeiten habe mir Sprachen anzueignen.

The teachers are the best thing in the school. Another thing is that you can only speak in English in it, and with this rule, in general, people improve faster their English.
