Zu viele Brazillianer (!!!) in der Schule. Sehr oft hörte man nur Portugiesisch oder Spanisch. Echt Schade.Auch Thailändisch war extrem oft zu hören.. Freizeitangebot war ein wenig Mager.. Milford Sound war nur Bedingt billiger..

« Ich habe sehr vieles gelernt in Neuseeland. Die Kultur, die Menschen dort, die Sprache - alles war einfach super. Die Lehrer sind super hilfsbereit und freundlich! Ich wurde sehr ermutigt, Englisch zu sprechen. Die Tests waren nicht ausschlagsgebend für das bleiben in der Klasse. »

« Man sollte UNBEDINGT 1-2 Wochen nach der Schule eine Reise einplanen. Neuseeland ist wunderschön und ich bereue es echt, dass ich dies nicht tun konnte. Man kann super günstig ein Auto mieten (Bitte nicht internationalen Führerausweis vergessen) und die schönsten Orte sehen. »

Der Auslandsaufenthalt hat sich total gelohnt. Neuseeland ist wunderschön und ich liebe Queenstown. Eine kleine Stadt mit viel Charakter und alles nah beieinander. Die Sprachschule war wie eine große Familie und alle immer super hilfsbereit und herzlich. Würde es sofort wieder machen.

Only a 5-10-minute walk to the city centre and the language school, you will be able to choose between a single or a twin bedroom; bed linen and towels are provided, and the bathroom is shared. You will be able to cook your meals in the shared kitchen with your flatmates or relax in the living room; Wi-Fi is free (unlimited or 300 mb per day, depending on the Student House) and a paying laundry is also available.
