The school is centrally located in Riga. Good classification through written questionnaire and telephone interview. Excellent lessons in small groups, good support from the teacher. She answered questions willing
I have been to the Baltics many times, but the language course gave me additional insights into the country and its people. It was a nice and very productive time in Riga.

Very personal teacher-student relationship, so that the teacher can respond very individually to the student's weaknesses.

Course: Individual Leisure - 4 weeks
Student age: 70 years
The organization was great and the lessons were very good. All teachers went out of their way and had a lot of patience.
I booked the intensive course plus mini group. Maybe it's helpful to know that there's not much time left for sightseeing during the week. School until 4 pm every day and homework; time passes quickly. I would still book the same course again, because it is very good. But maybe it's still good to know beforehand how much there is to do :)

The atmosphere and the welcoming attitude was very uplifting. The teacher was very professional.
I would have appreciated it if there were more students at my level (beginner). You state on the internet site that no prior knowledge is necessary, but I would not have completed the course if I hadn't studied for three months in advance, as, luckily, I had done.

The classes were great and I learned a lot. All the people were very friendly and explained everything to me.
Since I was in Riga in January, the social program was limited, but the school tried to make a suggestion for almost every day - great! The teachers ware very dedicated ... It was just awesome!
I organised my accommodation myself.

Lessons are professional and serious; there is sufficient attention for the needs of the students.
I suggest to have more contact about the social program before the start of the lessons. It's then possible to choose from many possibilities.
