I am considering their intensive German course. Are any of you familiar with the school? The price is almost too good to be true, which is what concerns me. Thank-you! Have a nice day.

I don't know about advanced but i did a beginner course and did not learn much, there were too many in the class and the teacher translated everything into 10 langauges. The price is good but the value for money was not.

From what I heard: lots of grammar and little speaking.

I've got a friend who goes there who finds the intermediate level work difficult, but their German has improved quite quickly as a result of their lessons. The prices are very good for Switzerland.

They are very cheap, it's more of a cooperative arrangement than a commercial school AFAIK.

In that case, it would really depend on the teacher. I did a few semesters of Russian there and I enjoyed it, but the class sizes were small and because I was doing the course in German, I was kind of learning two languages at once.

The way it works though is you can turn up for the first 2 classes and then decide whether to continue or not. Just do that and then you can check out the teacher and the other students. As usual for language classes, expect a fair amount of dropouts after the first 6 weeks or so.
