Liked
All was excellent - the classes, and extra activities. Everyone was friendly. My grandson had a great time and learned how to speak when people can't switch to his own language. The exercises were very interesting - such as describing a word with different English ones.
Disliked
Everything was fine - for me, it would be useful to know the exact timings of all events, not only the beginning but the end, but I realise it is not always possible to plan events outside of the college to a minute.
