Glan-y-Llyn is not Cardiff. Why do you ask me about Cardiff? I like this little town.

The professional level of teaching and the small group
Please provide a classroom out of the reception area for students completing the level-test. Please provide better equipment for audio-lessons.

The classrooms were small, not suitable to accommodate more than 10 people, there were only 4 of us in the class and this allowed to be followed in a better way by an excellent teacher.
Great school, there were some works in some classrooms and this suggests that it is also restored really often.

It was multicultural although most students were Arabs.
The first day is a bit chaotic, because I thought they were weekly courses but they are annual courses. You just join the class and study the weekly topic.

The organisation was poor... I received my accommodation information the day before. I had to ask for the emergency numbers by whatsapp... and my report wasn't ready the day I left. I was asking for it for two weeks before I got it... I think the poor secretary is really busy with all the enrolments, they should have somebody else to help him.

Key Facts about Cardiff

Cardiff: Cardiff has embraced its new role as the capital of Wales (since just 1955) with vigour, and has emerged as one of Britain’s leading urban centres. Spread between an ancient fort and an ultramodern waterfront, compact Cardiff is probably one of the most interesting cities in the UK and boasts many shopping malls, national museums, thriving pubs, bars, live-music venues and global sporting events. At first glance, the city seems a very unlikely place to find history what with all of its sophisticated and modern architecture, but in the midst of the urbanisation, Cardiff's ancient past is grandly displayed in the form of more than one very fine castle. Cardiff also makes a great base for day trips to the surrounding valleys and coast, where you'll find more castles, beaches and ancient monuments.
