My girlfriend has just signed up for these 3 hour classes every Saturday.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if the curriculum is decent for these classes?

She said to me that the classes will probably be "free talking".

That's fine for part of the class but if the whole 3 hours is "free talking" with no curriculum then I think there might be better classes available elsewhere.

Does anybody have more information on these classes?

It's totally up to the instructor taking the class. Most Pagoda teachers prepare well, as the students evaluate them on performance. Those evaluations are directly linked to pay and the chances of getting rehired.

Saturday classes weren't evaluated when I taught them but the habits set.

Expect some things copied from the SLE books and some handouts. Again it's totally up to the instructor.
