1/ The web site and the staff's answers on e-mails have been confusing (and/or directly misleading).

I advice everyone to double check _any_ stated information by asking in e-mail if you've understood correctly. This is somewhat awkward.

2/ The school keeps rather much of the accommodation fee, and it is questionable if they really deserve that. There are plenty of web services that offer many kinds of housing in Barcelona, and I think most students and most parents would be better served by direct contact with possible hosts or host families.

3/ I've learned another foreign language with the similar methodology, and a third language with more traditional methods. The teaching method is in my humble opinion good, although initially quite demanding on the teachers. And the Spanish teacher I happened to get here is excellent.

It's too early to give a definitive evaluation, but so far my impressions of the teaching are quite good.
