Quality of teaching / language progress: The course had a very small group, which greatly enhanced the learning effect. I have chosen SET-Idiomas, Cordoba as the educational leave (Bildungsurlaub) for Brandenburg is possible. You also have the Bildungsurlaub certificate for other federal states such as MV, Bremen, Saarland etc.,
