I like the school's learning atmosphere and experienced teachers very much. The morning classes are compact and efficient, and the afternoon oral classes are interesting. At the end of the day, the school also arranges many interesting extra-curricular activities, in which we can make friends from different countries and communicate in English. All in all, Worldwide is a great language school.

City/place
Nice city to learn in, give you many opportunities to make your "social life in English".

If you want to learn faster it's good to choose a full time English course. Afternoon classes were funny and helped me to improve my speaking and taught me new vocabulary.
