Anneroos 4.0

Special note for 2027 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2027 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2026 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2027 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Good teacher especially at my B2 level (Carlos).
Good lesson program built up per month
nice group of people of various nationalities.
Pleasant building and easily accessible.”
“That monthly start was not clear to me.
I found the group of 11 a bit too big; what is the maximum per class?
Classrooms were too small and a bit stuffy
only 1 excursion per week.”

“Super lessons. Very competent and friendly teachers. The lessons are a bit demanding if you don't have any previous knowledge, but you can learn so much more in return.”
“The school is a bit run-down, despite its top location. Most of the chairs have some kind of damage. The lighting in the toilets does not work or is inadequate. Both the bathrooms and the classrooms are very cramped.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: You should have some prior knowledge, despite the A1 beginners' course. This is not necessarily the fault of the teachers. Most participants (even in A1) have at least a solid basic understanding, but still take this course to learn the grammar properly, and the teachers adjust the level to the students' average level.

“Everything was well organized.”
Insider tip: “Arrange your own accommodation.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I was in a class of four. The teacher (f) I had most of the time seemed to find it very difficult to talk to me. Often she'd ask a question (for example: ¨what did you do yesterday?¨) to everyone but me. Sometimes other classmates also noticed.

“Very well structured lessons and good teaching staff.”

Other comments: The course was overcrowded for a week with 14 participants, which was quite unpleasant not only because of the large number of participants, but also because of the small classroom.

“Super professional, teacher Rita created both a safe learning environment and that she explained everything extremely well. Fast paced course, but because of her clear explanation it all really worked out well. The teaching method / books are also very well structured.”
Insider tip: “One of a few language schools that is just a 3-minute walk away from the sea.”
Details of the review
Other comments: The tour to see more of the island was canceled at the first stop due to a visit to the hospital by one of the participants. The organizers could not do anything about this situation, although it would have been good to give us all a full refund as the they cancelled the tour at a very early stage (only recovered half after inquiring).

“The location and the varied teaching methods”
Details of the review
Other comments: Suggestion: in a course at another school, the teachers changed daily, so you could get familiar with the different pronunciations in the foreign language. This should not be taken as a criticism of the very dedicated and good teacher.

“The course was well structured and the books were very good. The teacher (Carlos) was both competent and nice.”
Insider tip: “They start a new course on the first Monday of each month. That is good to know if you want to start a course in the beginning of the course book. No information on the website as far as I know.
They arrange excursions every Wednesday, but if you do not stay at their residence you will have to pay double price for the excursions.”
Details of the review
Other comments: There was no written test before the course, just an oral interview. During the course the focus was on speaking, we did not get any training in writing such as letters, summary or argumentation. No listening comprehension or films (I was in B2).

“The professionalism of the teacher and the quality of the people who formed the group of students with whom I had the pleasure of studying. I also liked that the school is small and the fact that the school offers excursions.”
Details of the review
Other comments: I put 3 stars for the equipment because the rooms are sometimes a little small and there is no library but these elements are not very important in my evaluation. It's the same thing for leisure activities.
