I studied quite a while at bellingua. I made good progress and felt comfortable. Unfortunately I had a very bad experience with this school and I'm not the only student. All of a sudden they told me that I was not good enough for this school and that I would never make it to a reasonable level. My marks were always okay and I never had any conflicts neither with staff nor with students. I was also told that bellingua doesn't want to have me as a customer anymore. I felt really strange about this behaviour and I was extremely disappointed. My motivation was grounded because of this incident.
My recommendation: choose another school in Zurich to learn German if you don't want to be kicked out. There are plenty of schools in Zurich, where you are very welcome.
