“I had booked two weeks and the second week with Sebastian was really good. I also booked private lessons and got Lilli as a teacher. She responded straight away to my wish to use local topics for the lessons. I really enjoyed that. With one exception, the other staff members were very friendly and helpful.”
“The first week was frankly bad and this was due to the unprofessional teacher.”

“All the staff at the school, whether in reception, administration or the teachers, are super friendly and welcoming. Randy in administration was very helpful with any questions or small problems I had. Our teacher Cristina was the best. Very engaged and motivating. You can tell she loves her job.”
“The air conditioning in the classrooms was badly regulated. It was either too cold or too hot.
Cristina was absent on my last day of class. Her replacement, Edgar, was not up to the job. I think he lacks teaching experience. ”
Insider tip: “You have to take part in the activities organised by the school. They're interesting and give you a chance to meet other students. ”

Quality of teaching / language progress: I liked the small groups. There were never more than 5 students in the class and it was perfect.

“The location of the school (in the historic centre) is great, the entire staff is extremely helpful and responds very quickly (emails etc.) even outside of office hours. The teachers are flexible in their approach to the students, but always consistently pursue the learning objective.”
“Only mini remarks (German complaining): The WiFi in the school is very weak in some places (in the break area it often breaks down, in some classrooms it doesn't work at all). There is no water dispenser.”

“The mood was relaxed. The staff and teachers of the language school were kind. We received a high-quality morning snack.
Marcela is a good language teacher.”
“1) My opinion is that if a language school is in the cities of Colombia, it should have a Colombian or Spanish-American character. Or are there no study materials for this?? If I wanted to learn Iberian Spanish, I wouldn't fly across the ocean.
2) It's a strange way that most of the lessons are spent with the students completing worksheets while the teacher has nothing to do. (I object to this not in relation to my teacher, but in general.)
3. Some of the photocopied sheets may have been photocopies, which made them difficult to read. There was also some paper that, in addition to that, was even very small print.”

“The teachers do their best to accommodate everyone in the class. They are always friendly, courteous, helpful and unflappable. Very enjoyable.”
“That is difficult to specify. I probably would have expected more efficiency in less time (typical German), a kind of crash course: e.g. the 20 most important verbs to have a conversation in the present, past and future, right at the beginning. And then practise with them. In the end, however, everything worked out because I had booked 3 weeks and everything important was covered at the end. Now it's just a matter of practising!”

“Very flexible when changing the group or time of the lesson. Immediately respond to requests. You have to ask actively.”
“Loose sheets with exercises - no overview of what has been learned and what is still missing. ”
Insider tip: “It must be pointed out to the course participants that the pronunciation of the locals in Cartagena is unclear. It is not due to their own understanding!”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Private lessons for beginners are very demanding. Last teacher repeated grammar, which was great. Two months of private lessons at one location was too long for me personally.
Other comments Maria at reception is super helpful and friendly. She does everything to help and is boundlessly patient. Deserves special praise.

“Conversation, dealing with students, getting to know other students, afternoon / evening activities”
Insider tip: “As a complete beginner, 1 week is definitely not enough. It's too overwhelming. I had a good A2 / 2 level and would have liked to stay for at least a month because it's a lot of fun and although the lessons are really very good, it just takes time to learn a new language properly. So bring a lot of time. Nevertheless (if you already have a foundation) I would recommend a stay in Murzen (maybe with additional private lessons in the afternoon) because it's a lot of fun!”

Student comments about Homestay
Lucie
"As far as the family was concerned, the school didn't have the right contact details because the family had moved 2 or 3 months before my arrival. What's more, my room wasn't air-conditioned. After 10 of my 23 days with the family, the lady finally placed me in her son's air-conditioned room. "

"Private bathroom booked for a total of 8 weeks stay but shared bathroom with another person for 2 weeks. "
