BillDan is really jaded...maybe he needs to return to his home country.

KCEL has been good to me. They have a banner on the main page of this Web site.

Yeah I'm at KCEL too, just started my second semester, and I'm very happy with them. My teacher's really good, the class size is really small (usually around 3 people), and generally they're very friendly and helpful. And the price is reasonable. (Here's a bit of free advertising for them!).

Coming back to the original point, last semester I was in a class of westerners but now I'm with a Korean lady and a Japanese man - and I feel my progress is much better because I never speak English with them, I don't even know if they can speak it. This wouldn't be the case in a class of westerners - it just feels a bit weird speaking Chinese with, say, an American. And it's too tempting to lapse into English if you don't know how to say something.
