"It was very good experience to learn english"

Louis Gaultier, student from France

I really liked to classes and the teachers, they were here to teach and make the activity fun to make you feel it's more a game than a boring classes it was a good one. It was very easy to come with the bus and to find the school, and it's the city center so really simple. But I do think it's better to rent an apartment or an house during the trip and work in the city than going into a family house.

"Interesting topics, explained by good teachers with lack of organisation"

Eva Hofmann, student from Austria

I really liked the classes, because they challenged me and the teachers were very friendly. It was very practical that the school is located just a few minutes from the center.

The Orientation Tour and the Howth trip were pleasant and enjoyable.
My host family surpassed all my expectations. They cooked vegetarian for me and were always friendly.

The school just did not seem to have their ELearning Platform all under control, because many students did not receive the link to sign up.
