Ich habe mich für Chester entschieden,weil es hiess dass dort am wenigsten Schweizer sind. Praktisch alle kamen von der Schweiz oder Südkorea.

Chester è una piccola città storica affascinante, il suo centro è circondato dalle mura romane e le costruzioni sono in stile Tudor con le tipiche case bianche e nere, e in stile vittoriano con i caratteristici mattoncini rossi. Sembra di entrare in un'altra epoca. La cattedrale gotica è imponente e meravigliosa, e il giardino tutto intorno è un posto piacevolissimo dove rilassarsi gustando il lunch, prima di ricominciare le lezioni di inglese . La scuola e la vita si sviluppano attorno al suo centro bellissimo e ricco di negozi e di pub. Ogni due settimane ci sono le corse dei cavalli all'ippodromo, da non perdere non tanto per i cavalli, ma per le inglesi che si vestono elegantissime indossando i caratteristici cappellini, e dopo la corsa invadono la città a bere nei pub e a ballare per le vie del centro, uno spettacolo da non perdere!!!! La scuola è ubicata nel centro storico, 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione degli autobus. E' organizzata in due edifici uno di fronte all'altro, uno per gli studenti ventenni, l'altra per i + 25 anni. Gli studenti giovanissimi invece si trovano in un'ala dell'università. E' un'ottima strategia per suddividere le varie età e gli interessi. La scuola punta molto sulla pronuncia e ci fornisce un programma dove esercitarsi in inglese per i sei mesi successivi, una volta ritonati a casa. Le aule sono confortevoli, e c'è una sala computer dove esercitarsi o studiare. La scuola di Chester è di altissimo livello, i gruppi sono massimo di sei persone e provengono studenti da tutto il mondo. Ho trascorso un mese a luglio e ho trovato solo tre italiani su tutta la scuola con i quali si parlava ovviamente solo inglese! I professori sono molto simpatici e preparati, non ci sono libri di testo da acquistare e le lezioni vengono organizzate in base al livello e agli interessi del gruppo. I mini gruppi vengono divisi tra business e life, per chi preferisce studiare inglese per lavoro o per viaggiare. Ho trovato studenti con i miei stessi interessi e le lezioni sono state veramente divertenti e improntate sullo speaking. Il mio gruppo era di tre persone e questo mi ha permesso di parlare molto e migliorare la pronuncia e il vocabolario. Ottima esperienza!!!!

« Il centro storico di Chester è meraviglioso, con le sue architetture in stile Tudor e Vittoriano, i suoi negozi sviluppati anche sotto i portici al primo piano, una cosa unica. Da non perdere è lo zoo di Chester, il più grande e bello di tutta l'Inghilterra non è uno zoo, è un parco in cui trascorrere un'intera giornata! Ovviamente un salto a Liverpool è doveroso con i musei che sono tutti gratuiti e le due cattedrali. Da non perdere Lake District, il North Wales. Ho visitato anche Shrewsbury e Port Sunlight, amazing!!!! »

English in Chester, Chester
Duration: 12 weeks

The people in Chester are really kind and friendly. I like the way they teach English and the different activities they organise. It's interesting because when I came here I didn't speak English well but step-by-step I started to become confident and spoke with everybody and now my English is better. I have also made some friends and I'm still in touch with them. I think English in Chester is a good school with great teachers!

Chester is a beautiful town with lots of things to do and, at weekends, many excursions (I recommend the Lake District) to do during the day and many pubs to go out in the evening.
It was not easy at first; I felt homesick but the school and the host family helped me a lot to feel better! For instance, my host family showed me areas where I could take walks.
Chester must-dos: tour of the city walls and SHOPPING!
