“The atmosphere was great. Especially the front desk was most helpful in answering the questions that came up (mostly practical ones, daily life issues)”
Review details
Other comments The combination of lessons in a group and individual lessons sure is more useful (I did 20 per week in a group and 10 more per week with a teacher). If I imagine the load of 30 hours with only me being the center of attention...well.. this would have been much harder. However, if one needs the quickest possible progress then the individual lessons sure are best (as the speed will be adjusted)
