We feel that you will like the course a lot, which is why they are backed by a full guarantee if after the first lesson, you feel the course is not for you.

Another issue might be time. Do you need to learn the language very quickly because you are going to the country soon? Do you need to study for an exam or do you have a very unpredictable schedule? In these cases, it might be better for you to consider taking individual lessons!
