Friendliness and didactic competence of the teachers, patience, commitment, very good atmosphere, the entire school staff very helpful and friendly.

Internet: very weak, sometimes even the teachers don't have a connection, so using multimedia content is not always possible; Organization: e.g. confusion in the difficulty levels of the weekly language tests.

Other comments My participation in the WhatsApp student group did not work out. The link came too late and also ended up in my spam folder. There was so much to do on site! Since I was only there for 1 week, I couldn't take care of the WhatsApp and now I think it's a shame that I no longer have any contact with the other students.
