I really enjoyed my weeks at Tandem Sprachschule, the teachers were very professional and fun (would you belive??!), and I learned a lot during my stay - both german grammatics from the classes and then a more useable german from talking with the other students and my guest familiy (only good things to say about them as well!). I can only recommend!
