The school is centrally located and very easy to reach. During breaks, there are several cafés within walking distance. The teachers and the principal are very friendly and knowledgeable. The class was small, so everyone had plenty of opportunities to speak. The lessons were varied and informative: first, two hours of grammar, followed by a 30-minute break, and then two hours of conversation! All in all, a thoroughly successful language course!!
