Student opinions about Trieste Language School, Trieste
One star less for organisation: On the first day, a lot of class time was lost because many people - including me - still had to pay. Maybe we should have been called in half an hour earlier. Or insist on payment in advance.
I often didn't like the group work because the rooms had very strong reverberation effects, so that I heard the other groups too loudly and sometimes had trouble concentrating. (Possibly also due to my age)”
