Show details » Read more...plenty of grammar lessons and conversazione: I liked that we had two different teachers but it was a shame that one of the teachers obviously preferred the interaction with the one young man... to the detriment of the other 5 students.
I did not see let alone speak with the owner of the school at all. we only had interaction with our two teachers.
It was always clear where and when to meet. The course itself was very well adopted on the requirements of the class. We had a lot of fun, we learned about the culture of Palermo. Everyday I became more curious to spent more of my free time in the city. I finished the week happy, sattisfied and with a nice certificate.
