Seul petit bémol de mon voyage: la résidence. Bien que le personnel soit très disponible et ouvert, il n'est pas évident d'y rencontrer d'autres personnes. L'école est super, les infrastructures ne sont pas très modernes mais fonctionnent très bien. Le personnel est à l'écoute et très serviable (toujours prêt à répondre aux questions). Petite chambre mais dispose de tout ce qui est nécessaire. Grande cuisine. Peu aisé de rencontrer d'autres étudiants, mon "appartement" était rarement rempli et on ne sait jamais quand il y a quelqu'un qui emménage. Le "service de ménage" n'est pas annoncé contrairement à ce qui est indiqué dans les documents d'information.

He vuelto muy satisfecha del curso aunque debería haber hecho una estancia más larga. He estado solo dos semanas y creo que si hubiese reservado 4 sería perfecto. Me ha gustado mucho la escuela , me he sentido muy cómoda con todo el personal, la ubicación es perfecta y la estancia con la familia también ha sido muy acogedora. Recomiendo la escuela sin duda. Para mi ha sido una buena experiencia. Las clases son muy interactivas y no se hacen aburridas ni cansadas. Los profesores son muy buenos profesionales. La Señora MELANIE es una persona muy acogedora y servicial. Ha hablado mucho conmigo y siempre ha estado pendiente de que estuviera a gusto, todos los días preparaba diferentes platos para cenar . La casa está situada a 15 o 20 minutos a pie y en una zona muy bonita con lo cual el trayecto se hace agradable . El trato ha sido muy familiar. He quedado muy satisfecha con el viaje y no me importaría dar mis datos para recomendarlo.

English in Chester, Chester
Duration: 12 weeks

The people in Chester are really kind and friendly. I like the way they teach English and the different activities they organise. It's interesting because when I came here I didn't speak English well but step-by-step I started to become confident and spoke with everybody and now my English is better. I have also made some friends and I'm still in touch with them. I think English in Chester is a good school with great teachers!

Chester is a beautiful town with lots of things to do and, at weekends, many excursions (I recommend the Lake District) to do during the day and many pubs to go out in the evening.
It was not easy at first; I felt homesick but the school and the host family helped me a lot to feel better! For instance, my host family showed me areas where I could take walks.

Host family
This is the ideal accommodation option for total language immersion. The families, which are carefully selected by our school, generally live around 20-30 minutes by foot or by bus from the school. Students stay in single rooms with half-board during the week and full board at weekends. If you're travelling with another student, you can request a double room. Staying with a host family will allow you to discover English culture from the inside and to practise the language in a friendly environment!
