Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
Liked
The friendliness and warmth with which one was received, the start on the 1st day of lessons, the very appealing classrooms, the group size
Disliked
For me, there was too little structure in the conversation classes. There wasn't really a topic and there was so much joking around and palavering that you hardly noticed what the programme would actually have been.....

The lessons were great, I did a lot and learned a lot in the 2 weeks. You get to speak a lot and therefore practise a lot.
Disliked
I was a little sad that exactly in my 2 weeks there wasn't a tour of the "aceto" factory or cheese factory on the programme, but that was just a coincidence.
