Barcelona is a great city, the people are very friendly, travel is easy. However, you will not want to travel much because the city is so great. Research Catalonia before coming.

“Curso de idioma Alemán”

Carla B

France, Other courses
, 2020

Overall

El campus está muy bien localizado, los profesores altamente cualificados. Si bien es cierto que el precio es un poco elevado comparada con otros centros, repetiría sin dudarlo.

Pros

Los docentes y la forma de impartir las clases, ya que era dinámico y no se hacía pesado.

Cons

considero que la plataforma online podría estar mejor distribuida
