Young Learner English reviews

two weeks in Bristol

First of all, we would like to say that we spent such a wonderful time in our host family as well as in Bristol. We enjoyed being part of a British family for two weeks. We have had very good relations between us, one Austrian student and another one from Spain. Since the first day, we had freedom to discover the city. We were very happy about the fact that our host family offered us several things to do: we visited the Suspension Bridge, went to the theatre, went to Bath, did the Banksy tour and we were also allowed to join a British wedding party!! Even though both of us are vegetarians, it was no problem for our host mother to cook us every day some tasty and delicious dishes! We enjoyed especially the homemade desserts! We also learned new things from each other, e.g. taking a Siesta or trying Austrian desserts! These two weeks contained many different cultures, habits and adventures. Last but not least we want to say thank you to our host family for creating us this wonderful time in Bristol!!! :).

My trip to Bournemouth

I really like this family and they have a lot of animals.Which I really love.My most favourite was the cat Luna.And she is cute.We did grammar:I wrote my dairy everyday about 2 pages and did a lot of grammar in «English in Mind».And on every test I get around 97%.We also did a lot of activities.First we went to “Thorpe Park”,it is my favourite park in the whole world!Becouse I prefer more scary attractions (better to say extreme attractions) and I really love this park.Then we went to Longleat and I saw my favourite animal — red panda.I was really happy.We had a lot of parties (and I had my birthday party too).We went a camping twice and to the beach.Bournemouth is located near the sea and we swam a lot.And another park which I liked too is “SplashDown” I was really excited to go there because I really love it.We went to a BBQ near the beach or somewhere else,because it is nice.I went with Ariya (She is the daughter of the teacher and she is 5 years old right now.The teacher has another daughter her name is Imogen and she is 2 years old right now too) to “Flambards” and we had a great time.I think that we will meet next year and have amazing time again (if not,more 4 or 3 days my mum and I will go together with Jayne’s family to Longleat again) ! 🙂

With Sophie in Wales

Amazing week!

Truly one of the best experiences of my life. I had been wanting to come to the UK ever since I was 10 so this was a dream come true. At first I was a bit scared that Cardiff wouldn’t meet my expectations but it absolutely surpassed them. I was also worried about having to stay with a family I didn’t know, but I felt welcomed and well received from day 1.

I had so much fun with Sophie and the rest of the family. Some of my favourite activities were the visits to Cardiff Castle, St. Fagans and Principality stadium. However, I also enjoyed walking along the Taff and all the little independent shops in the city’s arcades. Despite doing classes in the morning and activities in the afternoon, I still had plenty of free time, which is always quite nice.

Regarding the tuition work and the classes, I feel that I have learned a lot since I came here and I have improved in every way I aimed to do so. I loved working with Sophie and the fact that the lectures were adapted to my needs and interests.

I learned about British and Welsh culture and history, made new friends… All in all, I had a wonderful time and I know I will remember this experience for the rest of my life and I hope to return some day.

Cambridge stay

Living Learning English Review: Hello, my name is Arthur and I’m from Switzerland.I’m fifiteen.I really enjoyed my two weeks stay in Daniela’s family. My english has improved and I’m satisfied about it. Study: Everyday exept the weekend, I got up at 7:30, the lessons started at 8:15 and finished around 11:30. I think that these two weeks in Cambridge have been very useful, knowing that I’m going to be studying IGCSE’s next year, and it’s also a good experience. I practiced my writing skills a lot, and I think it helped me improve my english. Activities: Everyday, we went out to visit a different place. The father of the family: Derick, once took me to an aircraft museum. He knows almost everything about these planes: their history, what they were used for, the countries who used to use them, and much more. Food: The food was delicious. Daniela is a great cook. She makes her pizzas from scratch, which makes them particularly tasty. I really enjoyed them. Family: The Thakes are lovely. They were always there to help if there was any problems and they are very friendly. I spent a pleasant time with them during these two weeks in Cambridge.
