"I’ve been here for six months and it’s been one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had.
The activities are really good actually because you meet all the other students which is another great way to improve your English and help you stop feeling shy.
There are also many courses for whatever you want to do, for example, general conversation, grammar or IELTS, you have the opportunity to do it!".
