"I spend very good time there and I learned a lot. We spend a lot of time talking and this was very helpful for my English. The whole family were very nice and friendly."

Katarzyna Topór-Suchodòł, student from Poland

I’m really happy about lessons with my teacher. They were really helpful for me. We spend a lot of time to talking so I learned quite a lot new words. I met several people from different countries so now I have international friends. My teacher always tried to keep me busy so I wasn’t bored. Her family and house were really nice. She show me the whole town and I was delighted.
