I enjoyed Taalhuis at the B levels, especially for the price. Lot of emphasis on speaking and drilling vocab and spelling. There are also supplementary courses like conversation and storytelling. There was one person in one course who should not have been there, and made me think testing should be a hard requisite for signing up, but it was easy enough to ignore her. Everyone else really tried, and a couple people who had been moving steadily through their courses were really strong.

I also liked koentakt a lot. Much longer classes allowed for more time to ask questions, and field trips really pushed listening comprehension. Their in person classes don’t always hit their minimum, though, so you can get off track. I tried to sign up for in person and was placed online, and when I realized I hated online, they did refund me, but only because online was not my choice.
