Testimonial

Marie-Claude Oreiller I wanted to do a language study trip in England and ESL offered me to take a language course at the Kaplan school in Bath. It was a very good choice. In Bath, you can visit the thermal baths, the cathedral, relax in Victoria park and meet new people in the numerous pubs: you never get bored! I went there several times and attended 8 weeks of classes as a whole. The best method for learning is to work in groups or pairs as it makes for good interaction among students, which allows you to speak. I am now starting to think in English and my listening skills are getting better everyday. I liked the friendly atmosphere at the school a lot. My host family gave me a great welcome during my first stay. I’ve kept in touch with them and we are now friends. Every time I go back to Bath, I stay at their place.
