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.
