Fun, educational and problem free
I stayed in Lisbon for two weeks in their student housing and had 3 hours of regular class and another 2 hours of conversation daily. From what i remember the classes have a limit of 8 students (i don't know if this applies to other locations) and our class only had 5 so the curriculum could be personalised and since our course was at b1 level we also had a lot of conversational practice. We took a lot of new themes and in the two weeks we basically went over the majority of material for our level. The 2 hours of conversation were also fun becouse it was only me and a teacher so i could generally pick any topic to discuss and build theme specific vocabulary. The teachers all spoke english and i got the impression that the teachers were very curious about foreign cultures and personally interested in giving a good experience to their students. The housing was also good. The apartment is not very large, only being a bedroom with the bathroom, kitchen and the living room being shared but it was also not very expensive considering the prices in Lisbon and it is situated very close to the school. The majority of the students of the school were between 18-30 and generally passionate and social individuals so as a young adult myself having people of the same age group certainly made making friends easier and most of the students i talked to were staying for a longer time so i could ask them for help. Overall the trip was very memorable and i had a lot of new and interesting experiences and i also learned a lot. For me travelling is easier when it has some structure especially when it comes to meeting new people and having someone to ask questions about the city so this was also a big plus outside of the language learning. I recommend the school as i got everything i wanted from the trip.
