English is to study in Britain. But what is it actually
like to learn English here?
Clare: My name is Clare, I am 26 and I come
from Italy. My course at the North West Academy
was very good. I studied grammar, conversation and
also words linked with my work place. The teacher
was very good. She has always been available for
problems during the lessons and outside the lessons.
Over 600,000 learners a year come to Britain to
help achieve their ambition, to experience modern
UK life.
Maximiliano: My name is Maximiliano. I’m 23
years old and I’m from Venezuela. Everyone here
is very friendly. When you tell them that you’re
a foreigner, everyone is very welcoming, like
everyone tries to speak with you, everyone, like,
tries to just stay close to you and ask you about your
experience, how your life is in your own country.
That actually helps you a lot, like, when you’re not
a native speaker.
Alexander: My name is Alexander. My surname
is Igurov. I’m 24 years old. I came to the UK from
Russia, from Moscow. I’m studying here business
English. Sometimes we have general lessons about
social English. I’m an engineer in the building
company. I will use English in my job. I think it
will help me to improve my career.
Anthony: My name’s Anthony, and I just turned
24 last February and I’m from Malaysia. The
people here are very nice. The place is amazing and
learning here is a really different experience, so just
come over and check it out. Well, they seem to be
enjoying learning English. What I’ve learned is, that
the English language is more exciting than I’d first
realized. Maybe, just maybe, in the future, I won’t
have to worry quite as much about my grammar
and spelling.
