Testimonials: Language travel (séjours linguistiques)

All targets reached… four weeks very, very intensive…. Executive Homestay accommodation was perfect (nice family, close to school 15 minutes on foot). Excellent trainers… non-stop learning in a very friendly environment.

 Milner College is so cool! I have met a lot of friendly students. Lessons are very interesting and good quality. Teachers and administration are very attentive for any questions, doubts. Perth is so perfect to live, weather, people…it’s exactly what I was searching for…. The choice of General English and Cambridge is a good mix…thanks…good advice. My homestay is the best, Mimma is so lovely…. she cooks so well. I really thank you so much for your advice, your service and especially your professionalism. It’s so rare that in transaction someone can understand you so good…. Thank you so much!

 I want to thank you. I’m home now for 3 weeks and I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have lived this experience. My months in Byron Bay were literally the best ones of my life! I’ve met so many people from all around the world, discovered so many things and grown up so much. In addition to that, I’ve also really improved my English: I’ve passed the CAE! Thank you for your help to organize the trip of my life and for your advice (NOT being an au-pair was definitely the best one, I would have missed so many surf sessions!).

I needed a bespoke training in order to improve some very specific points. And I needed some advices very quick. The Language House has been able to understand very easily my needs and to choose some schools in England where teachers would be the best to help me improving my skills. He made a great job in picking up some options, giving me very precise advices, follow up the training,... Garry is really an expert to analyse the people's skills and needs and to choose in his network the best school for these people... Many friends and colleagues already told me that Garry is highly qualified, and I can just confirm that they were right: he is not only a good teacher, but a very good coach and advisor...

 The city of SF is amazing, the residence is great, people are very nice and the school is very interesting! Thanks a lot for your organization.

 Garry at The Language House has helped many of my students with placements overseas and they are always delighted with the experience. I also sought his help for my son to find a school in London and he was professional and focused and succeeded with short notice. I highly recommend him.

 I’m very grateful to you for choosing a perfect place for me; Port Douglas, the school, the atmosphere. I am delighted to be here.

 Notre expérience avec The Language House s’est admirablement bien déroulée. D’abord sollicité sans avoir de véritable autre projet que d’envoyer notre fils de 16 ans se perfectionner en anglais, nous avons été pris en charge avec grand professionnalisme par Monsieur Garry Littman. Il a bien compris notre projet portant sur une année scolaire. Monsieur Littman a également saisi l’attention que nous portions non-seulement à la formation de notre fils mais aussi à la sécurité dont ont besoin les parents d’un enfant mineur.

Nous avons été conseillés de manière déterminée et avec une très grande écoute de nos exigences en termes de qualité de formation et de contexte de la famille d’accueil. Bien qu’il n’ait pas toujours acquiescé à nos nombreuses demandes, il a nous a guidé de manière sincère en visant le meilleur compromis entre études, confort et sécurité pour le séjour de notre fils.

Tant l’école choisie (Global Village), que la destination (Vancouver, Canada), ou encore la logistique et les conseils liés à ce séjour linguistique à l’étranger pour notre fils ont été minutieusement réfléchis. Garry Littman a démontré beaucoup d’empathie à notre égard et nous a considérablement orientés dans nos choix.

Quant à l’école à Vancouver, Global Village, c’est au dire de notre fils la meilleure de celles dont il a pu parler avec ses amis sur place. Global Village propose des cours à option très variés et adaptés au niveau de chaque élève, ainsi que des programmes d’animation et de loisirs aussi bien en soirée que pendant les week-ends. Et à Global Village, pas question de parler une autre langue que l’anglais pendant les cours, pendant les activités extrascolaires ou dans l’enceinte de l’école, même pendant les pauses !

Nous recommandons avec plaisir et sans réserve The Language House.

 I just want to say thank you for everything, the host family is amazing and the school too! I’m enjoying Australia a lot!

 The training centre and staff were very professional. The private lessons were excellent and more efficient than the small group classes. You can’t expect miracles, but I felt that my English improved considerably in two weeks and I now have greater awareness of my use of English language.

The accommodation was fantastic. They really looked after me. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

 The accommodation was great. I had a perfect time with the family; they made me feel at ease and showed great interest in me. I had a lot of conversations with them which helped me a lot to improve my understanding and fluency. My room was very comfortable, and I got everything I needed. The school was only 20 minutes on foot from my Homestay.

The London School of English is very comfortable and well-equipped. Everything was perfectly organised from day one. The Young Business English course helped me to improve my business English with a lot of helpful vocabulary, different topics and development situations.

The BEC Higher exam preparation course was perfectly focused on the exam which helped me to be prepared and to know exactly what I had to do on the exam day. Moreover, we did some mock exams to be properly prepared. My teachers were very friendly, highly qualified and strongly contributed to my improvement with a lot of helpful advice. The amount of homework was reasonable. To sum up, my English is improved in many ways. I will never forget my time there and the different people that I met. 

 I think I improved a lot my English because before I was so afraid to talk in English if someone asked me something in English. Now it’s not a problem for me to talk in English or understand a English speaker!

I took the courses 30 lessons per week in a small class with 8-12 students of different nationalities. We learned, spoke, played games, watched movies…a lot of different activities to learn English.

My homestay was a young family. Because of that we had a really good time and a lot of fun together. It was a really really good family.

 My intensive two weeks of professional English courses in Canterbury was a very good strategy for me to improve my English. I was looking for a personalized training centre with private lessons and small groups and a program that related of my language level and my professional managerial needs. It was exactly that. Two intensive weeks went by very quickly. I recommend future clients do the networking activities. Not only is it good for your English, but you can discover this beautiful city and its friendly people. The CLT team is flexible and professional. I was hosted by a lovely family in a small town close to Canterbury.

 I finished my trip: It was amazing. I really want to stay, I love Australia and Perth. I travelled a lot around of Perth. I went to the Pinnacles, Wave Rock, Swan Valley and lot of beaches.

The family was very nice with me. The school was great. I adored the activities with school, and I think I had a very good teacher. I think I improved my English, because before I couldn’t say something but now I can do some sentences with some mistakes. So, I have to learn more and I don’t stop to speak. And the school was great to meet people come from everywhere. Everyone was beautiful and I’ll never forget them. My friends become like a family. I miss all, my life there, my friends and my host family.

I realize every day that it was a very good choice to study here. There are few students and I like the style of teaching. David and his wife are excellent and their way of teaching seems to me really efficient. I am fully immersed in my studies the main goal is already reached. Thanks.

Four wonderful weeks in the UK…school and family were excellent. I made a lot of progress, especially in listening and pronunciation. Thank you for the organization—it was just perfect.

 My professional skills were in demand, but my career options were limited by my lack of English communication skills. I chose The Language House as my English language partner. It has been a most rewarding and successful relationship and much more than just learning to communicate confidently and fluently in English. It has opened doors to a new culture, information, ideas, humour, literature, travel and professional relationships. The Language House has organised language courses for me in Geneva and immersion programmes in English-speaking countries. I have studied in Kensington in London, in the cathedral city of Canterbury and in the countryside of Wales. Each course has been superbly organised, and the quality of training has exceeded my expectations. However, my most enjoyable courses have been English for Lunch here in Geneva – private courses in English over lunch with The Language House director Garry Littman. I do not hesitate in recommending the services of The Language House.

London was a great experience; useful, professional, tough, in one word: Wonderful. Now the time comes to maintain and continue to improve….

Australia is absolutely amazing and Byron Bay even more! I am having a real great time here with the sun, the ocean and the sharks…(joke).
The school is really nice, my teacher is awesome! My homestay family is great I learn a lot of things about Australia and Australians with them! I am really enjoying my stay here. 

 Firstly, I would like to say thank you for the organization of my trip in Sydney. Everything was perfect from beginning to the end. Sydney is really a beautiful city and SELC school has a very good location. Not too far from the city centre, and just next to Bondi beach. It’s a wonderful place to practice sport and sightseeing. In addition to the location, SELC is very a good school to learn English. I met lots of different people from different countries, who I spoke to about many things and I spent my time to study and to visit that beautiful country. We had plenty of time to study hard and after the school they were lots of activities.

My target was to achieve my FCE. It wasn’t easy for me because I didn’t used to talk in English every minute but after one week it was better. The first three months I had General English and it was good for me to remember all grammar and vocabulary I needed for my preparation of my exam. I worked hard to have the good level. Of course, sometimes General English was a little boring because it depended on student’s motivation, but it was necessary if I wanted to improve my English. I then did  the FCE preparation course and I really enjoyed working faster and harder. My classmates were younger than me and we had lots of fun together. We had good teachers, who gave us the desire to learn. After ten weeks hardworking I passed my FCE. I’m so happy because I improved so much in five and a half months. I will never forget my trip in Sydney and in Australia. You helped me to have a good start. I really appreciate your help and your availability.

 The courses were intensive, and the teachers were very professional. My time was used efficiently. I improved my English ability considerably. I would like to thank you for everything.

 I really want to thank you for everything in Vancouver. Your organisation was very good. I have improved my English and did an internship. It’s a difficult experience to leave his country and live six months in a homestay. My homestay is really perfect and it’s my family too now. I will finish my program in three weeks and I’m sad to leave Canada but happy to return at home. Everything went like planned. Thank you for your help.

Everything is perfect. We have just come back from Oxford where we spent a very nice day visiting and talking a lot. Mrs. Hayward does not mind about my overactive tongue! The days go by very quickly…. Thanks very much for having helped me.

 I am delighted with my stay at Worcester. Lessons are very interesting. I have this week a one-to-one lesson with Jill. She thinks I have a good basis in English but with my strong French accent it is difficult to understand me. She teaches me sentence stress, weak forms, linking sounds etc….

My homestay family is friendly and kind. I am treated like a spoiled child. Sandra is a good cook and Don cooks some delicious eggs for the breakfast (scrambled, poached, fried…).

I went to Birmingham (just before riots and lootings), Bath and Oxford. Next Saturday I am going to Bristol.

 My time in London was well worth it. I sense a big difference in my confidence and fluency in English. I can explain myself better in presentations and meetings without having to think too much about my language. The teachers were excellent. I had small group courses with between 3 and 5 participants and also private lessons. I also visited the London Stock Exchange, Metals Exchange and new Docklands with my private teacher. My Executive Homestay family was very friendly and close to the school. Overall it was a successful and rewarding experience. My thanks to The Language House for the choice and organisation of this training course. 

 It was really good… I hope to come back again for 1 or 2 weeks. Excellent atmosphere, excellent teachers, good for improving our English…time was too short!

 Sorry for the late news but I’ve got a lot of things to do. Perth is a little busy! But it’s good! Anyway, I was also thinking to come back to Milner in one year or more to try to pass the TESOL! My teacher Rick gave me the taste to try this course. It could be really interesting. It will help me for my future, because up to now I didn’t have any idea for my future career. It can be a good start. My family is so lovely. I love living with them, everything is perfect!

 The two-week immersion course exceeded my expectations. I improved my confidence and grasp of English. I’m waiting for the next opportunity to go back. I especially enjoyed the richness of the small group synergy. We shared different cultural perspectives and our professional backgrounds and experience.

 Life in Sydney is a dream…. It’s so beautiful especially Bondi Beach and life is very cool.

I didn’t see a shark for the moment, but I prefer don’t think about that!! And the school is great; it’s very hard for me for the moment (I’m tired every time after the school!), but it’s interesting and I like it.

 My course in Langports is very nice, the teachers are really good, and the students come from everywhere in the world. It’s nearly the end of my trip in Australia. Just two weeks left. That’s a pity because I want to stay here, but I’ve already planned to come back. You might see me again in your office in the next few months. I’d like to say a big thank you for what you did for me.

 I’m so happy to be here. SELC is a good school; teachers are excellent and interesting. Sydney is a very beautiful city…. I really do like this city. My Homestay is a very good person, very kind and honest. I actually love my Aussie life.

 The training centre was very professional and the teachers very interesting. I was impressed by their wide culture and knowledge. It was possible to talk about sports, politics, entertainment, travel, music, theatre, and a lot of different other things. The one-to-one lessons were good but very hard. It was not possible to have a bit of rest. There is pressure on you to speak and think in English at every moment, every day! The mix of small group courses and private training was a good combination. My Executive Homestay family was friendly and welcoming. I had contact in the morning for breakfast, in the evening for dinner three times a week and sometimes in the weekend. I would like to thank The Language House for the good organisation and if I need more information about language training I won’t hesitate to call you.

 I have no words to describe my Aussie experience it was really amazing! Australian people their lifestyle their so marvellous country. So many unbelievable places.

My experience studying at The London School of English was very fulfilling mainly for the quality of their teachers and pleasant atmosphere. I appreciated the one-to-one English language training. I enjoyed going to Holland Park every day.

 Australia it’s amazing!! I really like the weather! Always sunny and very hot.

The school it’s very good. All the teachers are funny, I like it! Thanks for your help.

 I really liked the idea of having two weeks in London and two weeks in the countryside in Wales. The course was indeed very intensive and gave me the opportunity to improve my speaking skills thanks to the excellent teachers in the one-to-one sessions. It was in all a very rich experience, meeting different people and sharing with people from different counties. The accommodation was perfect especially Trebinshun House for atmosphere with its unique character. I strongly recommend this executive language training.

 The homestay is really good. Beautiful house, pool, very good food! Everything is perfect!

I started my Cambridge course 4 weeks ago. The teachers are very good and it’s a good way to improve my English. We have homework to do everyday, but we also have time to enjoy Australia in the weekend! I really love Perth! The city in not too big, so it’s pretty quiet and everybody is very friendly. There are a lot of things to do and to visit and many places to go out at night!! The weather is also very nice and the beaches around are beautiful. I went to Rottnest Island a few weeks ago. It was amazing (I think they’re the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen). There are also many activities to do with the school! It’s cheap and very fun!

I’m really enjoying my time here and I think it’s a nice destination for students who like beaches, sun and quiet city!! I hope I will like the east coast as much as the west coast! I’ll let you know at the end of my travel! Thanks a lot for everything you’ve done for me!

I am very satisfied with the course here. It’s a very good balance between intensive study and a relaxing atmosphere. Many thanks for your assistance.

 Sydney is really wonderful! I like its cosmopolitanism and all the different cultures you can get in contact with. And for sure, it’s also very beautiful. I enjoyed the city skyline and the Opera House a lot! The school is really cool and the staff very friendly! It is a comfortable place to study. My host family is very easy-going and even if at first, I was a bit anxious, it’s now all gone.

 My limited time was used extremely efficiently. The teaching methodology was practical, well-organised and well-presented. The teachers were motivated and attentive. I felt they were able to quickly identify and rectify my weaknesses. My accommodation with an executive family was a pleasant and enjoyable surprise.

 Well-organised and efficient training…. The teachers and staff were very professional. It was a pleasure to stay with my family.

 I want to thank you for all the help and organisation for my trip to Perth, Australia. Everything was perfect. My demi-pair family are very nice and kind. I really enjoy Milner school. My teachers are great. I reckon I am improving my English a lot (with still lots of mistakes but it’s getting better) and I am learning so many things! I also went to a surfing lesson, and it was amazing! I met so many people and I love beautiful Perth!

 We are always speaking English, from breakfast to bedtime. You almost always have a teacher with you. Now I’m more confident. I work hard, and I’m very tired in the evening. However, I can believe I’m on holiday…. The food is much better than expected. Many students come here for the second time or more. 

 The Language House in Geneva helped me find exactly the course I wanted. In four weeks in London, I was able to develop my professional communication skills and prepare and sit an international exam for lawyers. My time was used extremely efficiently. The quality of teaching offered by the school trainers and the general school services were really excellent. 

 I’m feel really good here, I didn’t realise, the time is running sooo fast!!! I went kayaking, saw a dolphin! Went to the Gold coast for shopping, I went to Tabulam for Easter holiday with my home-family, camping in the bush, really fun!! And for sure: going to the beach almost every day, enjoy the sun and the beautiful places, which you can find only here!! I wish never have to come back in Switzerland! But…I finish school next week and after I’m going to take 2 weeks for travel a bit! I want to go to the Greet Barrier reef and to Sydney, so I have to organise everything! I’m super excited!!
I really want to thank you for your help, both schools went beautifully, I meet a lot of different people and I really improve my German in Berlin and my English here in Australia.

 I always thought that my English was rubbish! But it’s true, after few weeks here I can say that I speak English quite fluently. The only problem is that in London they speak so quickly and it’s hard to catch everything. But anyway, I love the accents.

The school was very nice, well situated and the teachers were friendly and the most important thing is that they have typical English sense of humour, which I like.

I really enjoyed my time there and now I concentrate my efforts on finding a job here. It’s tricky work…. Thank you for everything.

 Just a few words to say that I am very happy with my stay… Cambridge is a fantastic city, the school and teachers are very good and the International Legal English Certificate course extremely interesting. I have been placed in the advanced group, so my morning class is challenging

My two Homestay hosts are very nice. The internet problem has been resolved and last, but not least, we are having a nice weather! Thanks again for your help.

 The four weeks of English immersion was a very good experience.

I heard English day and night! It was difficult at first when you don’t speak, but I was really surprised how quickly I could understand and communicate during my stay. Now I’m more confident and I am very satisfied. I enjoyed the courses, teachers and host family. Thank you for your help and organization of my stay in Worcester.

 I’m in Switzerland and not very happy to be back, it’s so cold here.

This experience was the best I’ve ever had. I spent three wonderful months in Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast). I met many people from around the world, the school is perfectly situated and there’s a really good energy in it. Everyone is so kind and open-minded. I’ve not only improved my English, but I’ve also made a lot of friends. Life in Australia is perfect, and I recommend this experience to everyone. Thanks so much to have organized such a nice language trip.

 I really like my experience in Australia. The family who I live with is amazing. The children are kind and cute and the parents are nice. We speak a lot and have a good time all together. I love Perth and the surrounding, there is a lot of things to visit and it’s peaceful, you feel secure when you walk on the street and the people are very friendly. 

I like school because it’s really interesting, but now I want to travel more and discover other part of Australia. 

 I just want to tell you how much I loved my trip in Australia!
I had such a great time in my demi-pair family in Byron bay. I loved the school, I had the best teacher I have ever had, I progressed a lot in English, passed the Cambridge Advanced and had heaps of parties! Byron is a beautiful city surrounded by all those magnificent beaches. Thanks again for having organized my stay in Byron. You did it perfectly.
I think it was great for me to live in a family for my English but also for staying with Australian people, not only people from the school. 

 I just wanted to tell you that everything is fine in Melbourne.
My host family is really nice and the mother cooks very well :-)
The English lessons and my two teachers are excellent; I've learned a lot in two weeks and it's not finished! I will pass the IELTS test on the 12th October.
Thank you for everything and have a nice day.

 Here in Byron everything is cool! I enjoy it a lot!!!

The school is good and all the students and teachers are very friendly. I really like the life style of Byron with all its bar having great live music every day/night, the people who are friendly and the nature is beautiful with the bush and the beach... The two weeks of surf lesson was great I now have my own surfboard and it's getting better every day :)

My homestay is also great they are really cool and the house is perfect.

The only bad thing is the weather which is still a little bit wet but I hear that it'll be better in a few weeks. Last week end we had five days off for Easter. So I've been to Sydney it was also great to visit this city but I'm happy to be in Byron and not Sydney for my studies.

So thank you for your job...

 My course in Langports is very nice, the teachers are really good and the students come from everywhere in the world. It’s nearly the end of my trip in Australia. Just two weeks left. That’s a pity because I want to stay here, but I’ve already planned to come back. So you might see me again in your office in the next few months- I’d like to say a big thank you for what you did for me. See u soon. 

 I have to apologize for the card I haven't sent yet...but I enjoy so much Australia that I forgot about it!!! So I thought mailing you was a good way to tell you sorry but also to give you some news about me.... My FCE courses was really good, I met a lot of people, and I had good time with them...and two weeks ago was the final exam...I think I did well but, it was more difficult than in class but not impossible...so now I think my English is quite good...I understand people when they're speaking together, and even if my grammar is not good every time when I answer, I think it's quite okay!!! 

My host family is really great, like a second family, they're so nice, and I've a lot in common with one of the daughters, who is 30, but she's like a big sister...so yes, I love this family, and I'd like to stay here longer, but I miss my family also...

Today I began my CAE courses, it's much more difficult than FCE, but I'll work more and more to pass the exam, because I'd like to come back with the feeling that I'd completed all my goals...it will be great...

Last week I went to Sydney to visit a friend from my village, it was wonderful...this city is amazing so big in comparison with Perth...I walked around the city and the beaches...but I prefer Perth, because in Sydney there is all the nationalities except Australian people...and there is a lot of tourist and French speakers, so Perth is the city which suits me the best...so thank you for your good choice.

Just a few words about my trip in Australia. Everything is OK, English lessons are very interesting; David, Sveta and their children are really nice people and good teachers. I'm really glad to have met them.

My accommodation is perfect too: Marissa is really kind and I spent great time with her (and her dog ;-)). Thank you for everything. 

 I just wanted to inform you that I got the results from Cambridge and I passed the CAE exam!!!

So now I can relax and enjoy the 2 months left. And above all visit this beautiful country.

See you soon and thanks again for everything!

 What a great time in Byron Bay! To spend a few months in this little town is like a dream. The school is pretty small and friendly, with good and funny teachers. It's really easy to meet many good people and the parties are great. The town is surrounded by beaches and you'll find everything you like: surfing, sun-bathing, swimming, whale-watching, beach BBQs ,etc. They are so many fun activities that the most difficult it's to find enough time to learn. But no worries, here it's learning by living... and it works! Great time, great places and great people... All what I need. Now I'm back, but I'm looking forward to go another time down under. 

 Sorry for the late news but I've got a lot of things to do.  Perth is a little busy! But it's good!
Anyway, I was also thinking to come back to Milner in one year or more to try to pass the TESOL! My teacher Rick gave me the taste to try this course. It could be really interesting I think. It will help me for my future, because up to now I didn't have any idea for my future career. It can be a good start. My family is so lovely.  I love living with them, everything is perfect!

Life in Australia is absolutely breathtaking. The school proposes a lot of activities which are just incredible. For example, you can reserve skydiving for a very reasonable price. I really would like to try but I'm hesitating because of my fear of heights... Apart from that, I have recently been to Jervis Bay with my friends and we rented a beautiful house there. Honestly, I will never forget this wonderful experience :) The nature was so pristine and the sunset... always amazing! Concerning my homestay, I found out a very welcoming family, always thoughtful and suitable to help me if I had any questions. I am very proud to studying in Cambridge class. Obviously, it was quite difficult at the beginning but now I noticed a big progression of my accuracy. Finally, I’m supposed to obtain my first certificate in two weeks. Regarding my results during the practice exams, I feel very confident for the following days:) To sum up, I would tell those who are hesitating to go to Australia that the life is much more relaxing here than in Switzerland. I didn't regret to go in the kangaroo country although I haven't seen them still. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!

Life is good in Australia! I am still discovering this beautiful country and its open-minded culture. Next Monday I will start the CAE course! I am very excited, and I hope to have enough knowledge in English to take this course. I wish you a beautiful day! Take care.
