"I learned a lot without it feeling like school"

Mahaut Diot, student from Japan

I felt warmly welcomed by the teacher who liked my country so I felt at home. The other students were welcoming too. We did many kinds of activities in the class from role playing to reading, understanding and writing, and it all felt like fun, so I think I made progress without feeling pressured like in school. The location of the school is ideal, in the beautiful center of the city, and convenient too, because it is close to a shopping mall. I had problems with my first home stay family, but the organizers were very understanding and quick to react, and they found me a new place that suited me perfectly immediately. My whole experience of learning and staying in Australia has been very satisfactory and I hope I can do it again.

"Very pleasent staffs, helpfull"

Miroslav Ivanoc, student from Slovakia

I spent 4 weeks in very good community. Teachers were very good, I appreciated Adnil with her adaptability, friendly access to all students. The location was excellent, directly in downtown, I liked one class in museum with teacher and my classmates,

What I did not like was a speed of the internet. I was interrupted very often when I was browsing or preparing my presentation.
