"My experience was really pleasant, I had a lot of fun learning and the classes were really interesting."

Isidora Stankovic, student from Switzerland

I went there for 2 weeks and I took C1 classes. Every day we did something different in class, the subjects we learned about were also vers interesting. The staff there was really nice and helpful. The only thing I would say was a bit of shame. The activities were sometimes a little bit expensive.
