Unfortunately, the course did not meet my expectations. I had the impression that the three teachers who taught us were not really up to the job. Whereas one of them only let us fill in worksheets, the second did not provide any feedback. Altogether it must be said that they did not address our needs. In addition to that the family I was staying with did not really bother to speak with me. In fact, there was no opportunity to talk to them. This would have been the least one can expect. They were either out or they were just watching television. I reported this to the staff at the school, but it was impossible for them to offer me another family to stay with. All in all, I think that I got very bad service for the price I had to pay. I think it would only be fair on your part to offer me a decent amount of compensation in the range of 20% of the fees I paid. I enclose my bank details as a separate document. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Marianne Schwarz Marianne Schwarz Enclosed: Bank details Re.: Complaint about language course Reply Reply to All Forward Nur zu Prüfzw cken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
