Most recent student reviews of language schools in Cork
Superb school, well organized courses and activities. Incredible team, the courses are well done, you learn a lot, you participate a lot orally in the courses, which makes you evolve very quickly and you get to know others and form bonds, which are very important when you're far from your family. I loved school.
