Everyone was super nice and extremely helpful. You got to know lots of nice people and the lessons were full of information and didn't just scratch the surface as is sometimes the case in German schools.
I didn't expect to find such nice and helpful employees. I have only had positive experiences.

Super nice team - both in the office and the teachers. You can always get in touch if you have any questions or problems. I learnt a lot, even though it was only 2 weeks.
