I already knew inner city Chania. Neo Chora district is great fun base. Walked a lot and hired car in weekend to go to Botanical Gardens. Bus was not yet running due to winter schedule.

Feel unable to comment on nightlife, had visited the town before and enjoyed returning although both shops and restaurant owners fail to understand that pestering counter-productive

Good location (only 500 m from the hotel); good leadership by director Efi; good teachers and contacts possible with fellow students.
Everything depends on the management; not good in Athens due to slow management, fine here.

Nice competent teacher Maria, coffee/tea with sweets well taken care of, enthusiastic team, huge amount of information on Greek language. Especially a lot of grammar. And the pace was high. Private lesson because there was only 1 other student. Classroom atmosphere was good. Instructive homework.
Learned a lot but not yet able to put into practice what I learnt in terms of speaking. Reading progressed well though.

The teachers are great. Learning a language with native speakers is simply more fun and makes more sense. Lots of little language tips from everyday life, intonation that you just can't find in books.

Evi is great. She took great care of everything. Very helpful, benevolent and extremely nice. Also Maria my teacher. What surprised me is that no afternoon program could be offered although this is included in the contribution. So I didn't have the number of hours advertised in advance.

The opportunity to learn Greek....
It says in some of the papers that one can sit at the school and conduct self-study with guidance from the teacher, if one is alone and therefore only had half the teaching time .... did not seem so suited to it ... my teacher ran off for the next assignment as soon as the hour was over. Recommended that I go to the local library to work there.
