"We worked in a small group and the main focus of the course was placed on negotiations, presentations, meetings and improvement of our writing skills. We had two teachers,one in the morning, the other one in the afternoon. In addition we had special programmes for participants with special interests and almost every evening a social programme with optional participation. Thus it was offered to us a lot of variety. However the most important aspect - from my point of view - were the highly motivated and professionally working teachers. I appreciated it very much attending the course and I certainly will try to get the permission to come back for another course".
‘A big advantage was that I had an interview before so you were exactly informed about what I wanted and what level I had. Each of our small group had nearly the same needs and a similar level.’I didn’t expect any social programme and therefore was very surprised about your rich offer and I enjoyed every trip we made together.’
‘I spend a week every year at Linguarama London to improve my written as well as spoken English. It’s a lot of fun to learn at Linguarama, you get the chance to meet other people of different nationalities but similar backgrounds. The teachers are all very nice and professional and really good at finding interesting and relevant material for the lessons – tailor made for your specific needs and wishes. Everyday after lessons you get the possibility to join workshops and different social events – so you never have to worry about being alone. And best of all, you speak English all the time and after a couple of days you even begin to think in English and then the learning process really speeds up. I can’t wait to get back to Linguarama to join a new course.’
