"Excellent"
City/place
"Salzburg is a city you absolutely must visit. There is a magical atmosphere in Salzburg. The inhabitants are very friendly. The city is very well organised with public transport and pedestrian and cycle path connections and is also very clean. It offers many possibilities especially for families even with small children (there are baby changing facilities everywhere), with many green spaces, many games and above all safe. There are restaurants for all tastes or stalls with family-size bretzen, both sweet and savoury, or even supermarkets for those who only want to buy a ready-made sandwich or just fruit and vegetables. Absolutely recommended!"

"My beginning course was taught completely in German. This made me realize/and reminded me as a second language teacher, how important this is!
If I were able to stay for longer next time, that would be best. The language would indeed click more with more time. However, I could tell that I learned some German.
I graded down a little on the activities in that I believe there was just one a week? Maybe it is not possible for more. I do not know. The one I attended with Micaela was great."
