Vienna ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Vienna
What our students said about Vienna
I think is a city where there is always something to do. Many museums and galleries. And the people are nicer than Germans :). However, I feel the city doesn't have a personality, like it has an artificial aspect of beauty where every neighbourhood feels the same, even the people who live there seems to be the same, no matter the district you are.
Spain
I put 1 star due to the Coronavirus.
France
Safe, friendly and comfortable city

The teaching quality
I think that the school should offer more cultural activities in the mornings and the afternoons.
This way, people having class in the morning or in the afternoon still be able to take part in the activities.

Course: Standard Course - 1 week
Student age: 42 years
I liked professional approach to grammar part of the course. The teachers are very nice and well educated.
26 September 2016
Course: Standard Course - 2 weeks
Student age: 21 years
I had two different teachers for a grammar part and a conversation part. However, as they should have had a meeting in advance, both of them gave us the informative classes. They were friendly and motivated the students very well. So, I could ask the questions without any hesitation. The school staff were helpful and made a ticket reservation of a concert for me.
The school is accessible. The teachers are nice. The school offers the various activities and you can make friends with the students of other classes.

29 February 2012
Course: Intensive Course - 1 week

Great Facilities, beautiful location
Classroom time was hardly productive, reminding me of 1979 teaching methods. Next time will pay for private tutoring and skip much of classroom. Other students appeared equally lost/bored.
