First of all the location right at Columbus Circle and Central Park is just magnificent, as well as the easy connection from my two homebases (first Brooklyn and then Upper Manhattan).
Our teacher Paul Blomquist seems to be a highly capable and well-educated language professor. The small classes of five students on a comparable C2 language level allowed us to have an almost one-to-one study experience. We ran through all four language skills - speaking, writing, reading, and listening - in modules, and professional development.
I studied 4 lessons a day, from 11am to 3pm, which was perfect for me, so I could spend my time in the morning before class, and in the afternoon, after class, for visiting museums etc. according to my schedule.
I once joined a evening activity; we went to a drag show (adults only) which was fun. the teacher who accompanied us, Ashley, ist very engaged, friendly and eager into animate everyone to get into conversations.
My landlady Sally deJesus was al lovely woman, a poet too and someone with a lot of stories to tell. The room in her apartment was clean, nice and cute. The house is located close to the East River and the Riverside Park, which is beautiful. The area seemed save. It was a new experience for me up there, because I didn't know this area full of Pueroriquenos and Hispanics. Subway number 1 brings you right into Manhattan.
I loved my whole stay from A to Z. Thank you!
