I had my first lesson today at the Babel Language Academy in El Medano. There are just 2 of us students in the class, and the teacher refuses to a greater degree to speak any English! which is good of course, except it was quite overwhelming at first. But we got to the end of the first day and I feel as though I have learned something.
I was a bit taken aback at the charges, I feel I have been mislead. The website states the course is €285, and I was asked to pay an inscription fee of €20 to sign up for the course. When I got there this morning I was expecting to pay the balance of €265 but was instead asked for the full €285. I did query this but was told the €20 was to cover course materials. Surely I would have thought the fee should include such things as course materials! Anyway, im not going to argue over €20 so I paid up, but I find this kind of thing unnecessarily annoying. It is little things like this that make you less inclined to recommend.
However I cannot fault the class so far, Eva is very good and very patient. I was exhausted when I got home and slept for 2 hours! A very good (apart from the €20 issue) day so far!
