I learned so much in just two weeks! The trick is to try not to speak English (or whatever your…read morebest language is). Lots of friendly students and good instructors. Great, easy location, with lots of restaurants within walking distance. Just wish I could stay longer!

I signed my 17 year old daughter up for two weeks of beginning German at City College. On the…read morefirst day, after having completed the language test, she was put in a German class that far exceeded her abilities. That was frustrating but a small inconvenience. However, she did tell the staff she was feeling ill and felt she had a fever. They were dismissive of her(didn't even have a thermometer to check) and essentially brushed her off. Day 2 she came up positive with Covid. Thank god I was still in town. The woman in charge of student health was much more interested in defending her position(why she didn't help my sick child) than having any concern for her well being. This staff person should not be anywhere near education or young people. What a horrible person. My daughter has attended numerous summer camps and is very independent, this was not "In her head". As an educator I also know a well run program when I see one. Parents, you have been warned.
