I really enjoyed my experience at Cactus as a whole. This was both a great language learning experience and also a great and friendly environment. Even though I've been at Cactus for only 5 weeks, I already feel super comfortable and enjoy going to class twice a week and hope to continue the courses. I'm also recommending the school to everyone I know!

The teacher and the ease of learning in the classroom.

The relaxed but structured agenda allowed us to learn basics, but get outside questions answered along the way. I started speaking right away, and it was clear that everyone's accents greatly improved during the five weeks. Paul definitely responded to class interests and geared the lessons to answer everyone's questions.
