I chose this method, first of all, on the recommendation of a colleague who had already done a course .In the second place, the Live in method allows me to understand the social life and customs of English people and society. There are lots of opportunities for conversation and discussion, and we have more topics to talk about.

Daniel

The key reason I chose One to one” teaching was that I wanted to be ready to do the Cambridge Oxford of Advanced English Exam in five weeks, and not the normal three-months offered by most schools .People from the same country get together and we are again speaking our native language .Staying with an English family prevents you from speaking anything other than English.

Christopher

I am very pleased with the teacher I’m staying with .I think her family must be a typical English family, with two children and a dog. What is special is that they have a horse, too .My teacher has endless patience and a great deal of humour; she needs it for the lectures and lessons .We have five lessons a day and they are very hard work for both of us .But we also have lots of fun together.

Malcolm

I have four weeks’ holiday, so I get four weeks to learn a language. I decided that Live-in was the best solution for me .I brought the course book I wanted to work with and the teacher uses it in our lessons .In this way I am being taught at exactly my language level. Live-in learning not only makes me speak English during lessons but also outside lesson time.

Roxanne

With a Live-in course, I was sure that I would spend most of the time studying English .Another reason for my choice is the atmosphere during the lessons .It is more relaxed than a school language course. The social life provided by this style of learning was also a decisive aspect for me .Social events and lessons are closely linked and it is easier to put into practice what I have learnt, before learning a foreign language you have to understand the way of living in the country .
