Review about Kaplan Miami Language School
I've studied the language and explored the USA. If you want to learn the American character - go to Miami!
On the standard course, nobody is annoyed, everyone is engaged in a calm pace, there is a lot of homework. The teachers are young, funny, we were on the same wave. They explain everything to stop a hundred times, very thoughtfully, until the whole class is questioned, they won’t go any further.
I had cool classmate neighbours, so I had a great time outside the school! I walked around the city, for shopping there is paradise, shops and bars - it’s interesting to just sit and look at the bright cool people around! Before that, I was in Boston - it’s just like another country at all! Then I will say thanks to my manager for advising this school: I am very pleased because I wanted something more relaxed and party, and Miami fit perfectly.
