English Language Company Sydney - Jorge
I improved my English a lot, lived with people from all over the world and also spent time with Australians, mainly with my host family. English Language Company is not an intensive school, rather relaxed, but it's very focused on practice and you learn a lot of important things for daily life which at the same time allows you to be relaxed so that it is possible to work if you would like. If you want something more intensive, there are courses like the Cambridge preparation. The school organizes activities and excursions to get to know Sydney and it's sites of interest, which I think should be mentioned. The classes are interactive and very dynamic with activities and games.

The trip and the course were incredible, the experience unforgettable. I think it was an excellent decision to go to Sydney and to the English Language Company and I would do it again.
The accommodation was good and great for being with people from other countries to practice English with. There were just a few things that could be improved but those were just details.
I am thankful for your help because everything went perfectly. I recommend you everytime someone asks me about the trip.
Regards,
Pablo

I’m fine and my English ok. I could really improve my English skills.
Basically, the school is good and the teachers are doing a great job. We have many opportunities to speak and an interesting mix of different topics. I also like the mix of students from several countries. Nevertheless, I’m happy that the school is almost finished. If I would stay longer, I had to start the book again, because we are now almost at the end of the last book (advanced). To be honest, I wouldn’t be happy!
Of course, my English is still far away from being perfect. But you can’t expect a miracle within 5 weeks of school. But the school was great and I would recommend it to my friends.
I am also very happy with my homestay. It could be a little bit closer to the city. But I get used to it! The school starts at 10:30!?! (and ends at 4 pm!) So I have enough time for the journey to school. And to go with the ferry is sometimes really beautiful (depending on the weather).
Greetings from Sydney,
