Children's course - activities from 9.00-10.00 and lessons after 13.00. A parent who knows English well and is qualified for the better group has lessons in the morning from 8.00. i.e. if a parent has lessons in the morning and the child does not go to the activity then there is a problem. The parent can only choose the lower group.
Quality of teaching / language progress
course for teenagers at a very low level. A teenager who knows the language just gets bored there. Unfortunately there are no alternative groups. Not recommended for people with good knowledge of the language. Classes are also only in the afternoons.

I really appreciated the help of Sabine which was my direct reference person and helped me apply for the school.
City/place
Lots of homeless people
Quality of teaching / language progress
I didn't like the fact that we repeated some stuff during lessons only because we changed teacher. I had a teacher who wasn't really motivated an I didn't learn much. On the other hand I had one that was really good and brought up really interesting topics! Fortunately he was there!
Accommodation
All really good, clean and organized. The housekeeper is really nice and always available. The only thing is that we were near a lot of homeless. They are harmless and not dangerous but is really sad see children sleep on the grass every day. It quite touched me.

I couldn't watch the TV at all. So I complained to the owner to fix the TV to Global Village. However, they didn't. The room and electric burner were dirty. I stayed there uncomfortably.
