Il mio soggiorno linguistico a Londra è andato tutto alla grande, la città mi è piaciuta tantissimo, ho visitato un sacco di posti!! Sono stato veramente fortunato perché ho avuto una famiglia molto ospitante e disponibile. All’inizio ho fatto un po’ di fatica ad abituarmi con loro poiché non sono mai stato da solo senza la mia vera famiglia, ma subito dopo una settimana mi sono abituato bene.La camera era strepitosa, grandissima con un’armadio grande e il bagno moderno con la doccia e tutti i servizi!! Penso di essere stato il più fortunato tra tutti i miei compagni della scuola ad avere quella camera!! Adoro la mia famiglia ospitante e siamo ancora in contatto e ci sentiamo spesso. Se volete pubblicarmi su Facebook o su Instagram sarei molto contento, se avete bisogno di una mia fotografia a Londra ve ne posso mandare diverse e poi potete decidere quale pubblicare.Grazie.Rafet

Der Aufenthaltsort (London) war super. Der Aufenthalt mit der Schule eher mittelmässig. Ich persönlich fand den Kurs nicht das Geld wert. Kursmaterial (Lehrnbücher) war vorhanden. Jedoch kein Eigentum. Meiner Meinung benötigt man für ein effektives Lehrnen ein eigenses Buch, in welches man auch reinschreiben kann. Sollte in dieser Preishöhe imbegriffen sein. Die Lehrer waren sehr Lebensfreudig und hatten tolle Persönlichkeiten. Jedoch waren gewisse Lehrmethoden fragwürdig.

« Ich habe mein Englisch natürlich verbessern können. Ich habe mein Vokabular vergrössert und mich in der Ausprache verbessert. Leider habe ich mich jedoch in den letzten 3-4 Monaten gelangweiligt. Ich konnte schon nach 3 Wochen von Level 5 direkt ins Level 7 wächseln. Level 7 war am Anfang anspruchsvoll. Jedoch habe ich schnell gemerkt, dass ich die Sptize erreicht habe und nicht vieles mehr dazu lehrne (Viele meiner Klassenkameraden haben dass selbe gefühlt). Ich war enteuscht, dass es keine höheren Möglichkeiten gab mit dem Kurs. Der Sprachaufenthalt war dementsprechend zu lange. Der Intensivekurs war auch nicht Anspruchsvoll. Die Nachmittagskurse waren Sinlos. Daher habe ich den Kurs abgebrochen und auf den Grundkurs gewechselt, damit ich für mich Selbststudium machen kann. »

L'enseignement était bon. Les professeurs nous apprennent à se faire l'oreille car nous communiquons beaucoup. Par contre, il ne nous enseigne pas beaucoup de nouveau vocabulaire, ni de grammaire. Comme par exemple, apprendre comment structurer sa phrase correctement. Les cours sont lucratifs. Les professeurs utilisent souvent des jeux pour nous apprendre de nouvelles expressions ou mots. Les professeurs sont vraiment motivés et toujours souriants. C'est très encourageant et nous participons volontiers aux activités.

Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass mir die Sprachreise nach London so gefallen würde. Die Schule war gut organisiert, die Lehrer nett und man hat direkt Anschluss und neue Freundschaften schließen können. Insgesamt war die Stimmung sehr gut und ich muss zugeben: Die Reise war eine der schönsten Erfahrungen bis jetzt. Die Schule ist wirklich toll. Die Lehrer waren ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Trotzdem lag die Schule leider etwas außerhalb und man brauchte 40-50min in die Innenstadt, was sehr schade war. Außer der Distanz zum Zentrum hat mir die Schule aber sehr gefallen und ich würde sie definitiv weiterempfehlen. Die Wohnung war geräumig, sehr modern und schön (schlicht) eingerichtet. Wir hatten sogar eine Badewanne und Balkon. Ich hab mich wirklich wohlgefühlt, nur mein Zimmer war sehr klein und ich hätte mir mehr Platz gewünscht.

« Ja, meine Englisch-Sprachkenntnisse haben sich definitiv verbessert. (Wobei ich nicht ganz weiß, ob das am Sprachunterricht oder der Tatsache eines englischen-sprachigen Landes lag.) Trotzdem bin ich um einiges selbstbewusster mit meiner Sprache und in meinem Gesamtauftreten geworden, was für mich ein großer Fortschritt ist. »

Kings, South London
Duration: 12 weeks

The reason why I chose Kings London was because I wanted to study and live outside of London but also be near London for visits in my free time. I walked all around London. I visited all kinds of attractions and museums. I like the school because it is small, friendly, nice people and a good mix of nationalities. I like the fact that the host, the shops and the school are in the same area. The course is good for me and they monitor your level well. I love British food and British people! The school was really good, the host was perfect — I choose the Homestay Extra self-catering option. I couldn’t dream better than that! I would recommend Kings 100%. In fact I might book another course with my boyfriend next year at Kings.

I’m following the course “Diploma of English” to improve my language skills for my future job, where I need to relate to people from all over the world. The teachers at Kings are very experienced, they also teach business English and specific courses to improve our conversation skills. The school is located in a beautiful building, the course is not too difficult and I met a lot of new friends. Beckenham is a safe area, it is very easy to get around and I go to Central London twice or three times a week. I recommend everyone to visit the London Eye in the evening! My host family is an elderly lady with a 37-year-old son, they are very nice and friendly and it only takes me 20 minutes on foot to get to school, I usually walk there with another student from Saudi Arabia. This experience abroad is a really good means to meet other students from other countries and to become more independent!

I chose Kings because ESL recommended me this school.

What I like about the school is the building, which is new and very bright. The classrooms are really good and the atmosphere is very friendly.

I enjoyed staying with a host family, it is the most amazing thing I've ever done: staying with the family, speaking with them and also trying to understand.

At the beginning, I was put in a class with a level too low for me. But since I moved to a higher group, I’ve really enjoyed the course and my teacher because she's friendly and she does everything she can to make us feel good.

I enjoy my life here in London, it is perfect.

I would definitively recommend Kings because I had an amazing experience and the place is perfect. All Kings' staff members are friendly and they go out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

Thank you for everything!
