Testimonial

Pierre-André Vial My dream had always been to travel to Australia and I decided to go there for a few months. But first, I needed to have some knowledge in English ! I decided to go to a language school to learn and to improve this language! The school I chose was Browns Language School, a school situated in Southport, just next to the famous city of Surfers Paradise. The teachers encouraged me in my studies and were always were dynamic, friendly and well-organised. In BROWNS I met lots of new friends, and not only friends from Switzerland, but friend from Asia and South America. It was so interesting for me to discover new cultures ! BROWNS organised lots of nice activites where I could meet wonderful people and develop a good relationship with them.
