I just finished the B1 super-intensive course here, and I had a very positive experience. I had a few gaps in my knowledge from the A2 level, but I still found the course manageable and, for the most part, not too hard to understand—thanks to our teacher, Luca. We all understood all the topics, and I think the course is genuinely very effective.

My C1 German class instructor is open-minded. In addition to the textbook material, we often find ourselves discussing other interesting topics, which makes the Saturday class very enjoyable.

The people are nice, but the test is really hard—still, it's good.
