“The teachers were friendly and there were always so many activities to do.”
Disliked
“In summer expect it to be very hot and there to be many people.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would recommend the general course over intensive as the intensive course only provides extra “spin” lessons which are essentially just cultural and writing classes that are honestly often not useful
Other comments The price of EF programs are not justified however they do still provide a great experience, the cost is just too high considering
