The maximum class size is 16 students. The students are mainly from European countries, but also from further afield, particularly Japan and China. We aim to introduce students to the social and cultural life of the country and to give them both a beneficial and an enjoyable stay by providing them with an experience of learning English that could not be gained in their own country. We teach practical English, enabling students to cope with the situations that they will encounter during their stay.
