I made a lot of new friends and a lot…

I made a lot of new friends and a lot of great experiences. So I really injoyed it. But in my opinion the school was a bit to boring and we had to do to much grammar stuff, which is in my opinion not that necessary because for me it’s important that I can speak and understand better english.

Happy English learning journey

I have experienced a marvelous journey about English learning. Humorous teachers, friendly staff, brilliant students and well-designed courses and activities made me feel like I was just traveling around the English speaking world. It’s amazing.

Meine beste Reise

Everything was fantastic, I had the opportunity to meet the fantastic EF team, some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Institutions as open and welcoming as EF Berlin are impossible to come by. The activities and lessons themselves were also absolutely incredible.

Fantastic trip. I am sure to come back.

EF Malta

The accomodation is great. The flat is huge and there is enough space for all the people who are going to live there whether you need to spend time alone or in good company with your flatmates. I was lucky enough to meet so many incredible, caring and kind people living with me and we shared everything together. The only thing to pay extreme attention is the washing machine cause the water might make easier than normal the color exchange between clothes. It would be nice to have a more effective cleaning or something to clean by ourselves once in a while. There is AC, hoven, microwave and a functional kitchen. There are many facilities. Plus near the accommodation is full of restaurants for different budgets and many place also offers a good cocktail selection. The school is only 20 min by foots, great to stay active! In the area near the residence there are many runners or joggers and an open air gym by the sea. Everything you need is close. The only service missing is a big market where you can buy food.

Roommate change

When I asked for a change because my roommate was acting very weird and was making me feel uncomfortable, I had to insist a lot and ask for help to many people. Everyone told me that I only could change 6 days after that. It wasn’t until my parents called EF Spain that someone finally helped me.
The accommodation was very good, but the service of the accommodation office and staff of EF was very bad.

How can I describe my experience

How can I describe my experience? It was such a human experience. I’ve never met so many amazing people! The teachers are very professional, and the staff are lovely and responsive! If someone asked me, "Should I do this?" I wouldn't hesitate to say yes immediately! Thank you, EF, for everything you’ve given me!

I spent 5 amazing months at EF Nice

I spent 5 amazing months at EF Nice, and I couldn't recommend it more! I improved my French so much, met incredible people from all over the world, and created unforgettable memories through the classes and activities. The staff are simply amazing! They truly go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and included. They made my experience unforgettable. If you're looking for an incredible language learning adventure, EF Nice is definitely the place to be!

It was really helpful that you always brought breakfast and anything I needed, like seasonings, so quickly. This has been the best homeshare experience for me. Thank you so much!

Great

The staff was great, although there are some teachers that start explaining hard stuff even for A1 that you don’t know anything so it’s very complicated to be able to follow the class

Why visit München?

I chose EF Munich because I wanted to improve my German through complete immersion, while also experiencing life in one of Germany’s most beautiful and international cities!

My language skills improved a lot during my time at EF. Before coming, I sometimes hesitated when speaking. After using the language every day- in class, in restaurants, on public transport and while exploring the city-I became much more confident and started speaking more naturally.

Some of the funniest moments came from our small language mistakes- we would laugh about them and then never forget the correct word again!

The EF staff were always kind, patient and supportive. A special thank-you to all the teachers and staff for creating such a welcoming atmosphere and making my experience in Munich so memorable.
