It was the best experience ever! I never imagined to make friends of all over the world like this. The experience was better than expected. The teachers were always nice and kind, the activities were also beautiful and fun (except the trip to lighthouse), and I also learnt a lot more speaking the language with the other people in the school. To me it helped me to improve my skills in English, and my social skills too.
I loved everything else, the memories and friends I made in this summer have such a big place in my heart <3
I think the level was litle bit low for me
too much different level in the classes
