"Found the lessons super entertaining and also liked the method of explaining a word in English and thus improving my vocabulary very well."
Negative aspects
"The allocation to the right class was a bit hectic and confusing."

Other comments
"More water dispensers, possibly book sales = you can sell a used book with an indication of the chapters worked on and another classmate who joins at a different time can continue to use this book."
Accommodation
"I would have liked to have some kind of voluntary food drop-off. If you're not there for long, it's often not worth buying a whole pack of food. So a place where you can get food for free or for a small "pocket money" price (but kept really small), the money then goes to the people who make sure to check the expiry date once a week. You can only give the food away there and not sell it. However, I think young students in particular, who perhaps also work part-time, would be happy to receive a packet of pasta at a low price if another student has given it away. It's a lot of trust involved, but I think it would help with some things. Just like the kitchen equipment, I would have liked the scales and towels to be available so that you don't have to take care of them yourself. Otherwise the house itself was really good :)"

"Everything great"
Accommodation
"The rooms were unfortunately not really clean on arrival. Dusty shelves etc., there was still a sock from the previous guest on the shelf and there was foreign hair everywhere (especially in the bed, but also on the floor, in the shower etc.). Very distasteful. The insulation was relatively good, so you hardly heard anything in the room from the noise in the kitchen (where the other students often drank together late at night etc.). Only conversations in the corridor outside the rooms were clearly audible. However, these were within reasonable limits."

"I really liked the course times. Tues. - Thurs. longer, but shorter on Mon. and Fri."
Negative aspects
"The class size was sometimes too big, so that the teachers could only selectively attend to the participants (listen / correct). If the participants are supposed to communicate with each other, this is not wrong per se, but if no one in the know is listening, it is only useful to a limited extent."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"I apply to those who intend to register for the IELTS Preparation afternoon course. I joined for two and a half months but from my point of view a month of preparation is enough and progresses, because after a while it began to be repetitive, and the last few weeks were getting really heavy and I was thinking of having thrown away money unnecessarily . Personally, therefore, I was a bit disappointed by the afternoon course, also because during the exam I also found things that I did not know, so the preparation course was not even completely useful, but in any case without the preparation course I would not have been absolutely able to take the exam. In conclusion: I recommend it undoubtedly, but not for too long. A month is enough, after it begins to be a huge waste of money and a waste of time."
