Liked
The friendliness, competence and energy of the teacher (Belen), very active, fresh lessons.
Disliked
The course is mostly attended by students who live in Murcia. The courses are therefore not tailored to students who only book holiday courses. This means that you happen to do exactly the same unit that the fixed group is doing. For me, this meant only doing the ‘Futuro’ period for a week. I would have liked a more varied grammatical or content-related programme that also took my wishes into account to some extent. Another point of criticism: the heterogeneity of the group in terms of language level, which slows down the lessons.

Quality of teaching / language progress: The level was too low.
