Review about ActiLingua Summer Academy
We are grateful for the organization of the trip for our son to Austria for the summer - I really liked everything!
Working with you is that rare case when everything from the very beginning went like clockwork. And we got a wonderful manager, and the choice was made relatively quickly, the school was picked up deftly and promptly, the documents were made quickly too, the good dates and tickets were picked up - and the camp itself was just a fairy tale, there were no comments!
The son is delighted (and he rarely appreciates something directly unequivocally). He says that it was interesting every day: both the guys and the “counselors” directly charged each other, everyone constantly talked, there was no one interested or unoccupied in general events, games. The training is very unobtrusive: by lunchtime, they forgot, what was in the lesson today, but since everyone in the camp doesn’t communicate in Russian, you want, you don’t want to, but you will develop and speak better and better. A great entertainment program - and excursions (your own bus, a separate guide, also young, by the way), and games every evening, and fashion shows, quests on the territory, a lot of sports and active games, well, everything for the children was thought out and done right .
We are very impressed and can recommend ActiLingua and Smaps to everyone, thank you very much again!
Thank you, everything was great!
The lessons didn’t exactly go in vain.
Kirill lived in a double room with another guy - a toilet on the floor, and there is an individual shower. Very clean. We and my son never noticed any dirt or mess, everything was always tidied up. Regarding nutrition, it’s high-quality: he said that breakfast was the most delicious :))
I liked the excursions, both paid and included in the price: a lot of new impressions, friends, knowledge. When he retirned: "Maaam, but can it be 3-4 weeks next year ???")
Thank you very much for your work - for organization, coordination, help in choosing!
