Response from school
Our former school was small, but okay. We moved into our new and very nice facilities in July 2006. The student himself did not assist regularly to class, so his progress in learning German couldn't be really good. The other students of his class have been happy with the quality of teaching.

There are many Spanish people here.
Almost every day they have parties at the public bar or someone's house.
