The Intensive 30 course focuses on language fluency as a main goal.The four major skills students will practice are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students are active participants and learn grammar, vocabulary and common expressions by working and speaking with their classmates. The extra 10 lessons in this course allow for much extra time learning and practicing all of the skills, so students can speak and communicate at a much faster speed. Students are active participants in this course and learn by doing!

The classes were great. I enjoyed the teachers. I also took advantage of the facilities which helped me to progress in my studies. However, there was only one issue - when I needed to change classes I could not change because they were full.
Show details » Read more...The school is in the neighborhood of the British Museum. Students are older than thirty years, so I felt comfortable between them. Every student has a notebook at the adequate level of the class and team. Everybody is free to talk about their own feelings and thought,. We learned about fashion, habit, mode of different countries. We talked about arts, occupation, and family matters and discussed relationships in the hierarchy and to be a leader in life.

Show details » Read more...I liked the EC teachers very much they are helpful and kind, the location is very good and the facilities are excellent. I did not book for accommodation so I do not have much information about that and to be honest I did not participate in activities so I can not tell about them. but generally the place was very good
Show details » Read more...The classes were very good. I think EC has created a very creative system of classes. You can choose how many hours per day you can study, and also in what topics you need to improve. The teachers are very different, some are pretty good and some are a little bit boring. In my opinion the teacher who are more spontaneous, open minded and pro-active are better. The location is just nice. Very close to tube station and in a nice zone. Facilities and think are great. The activities were not so great, you need to improve and have more creative activities so the students feel more interest to go. The housing was good. I was in residence near Bethnal Green station, and I think it is pretty good, with a lot of freedom, which is amazing, but the only big problem is the cleanliness. It is a little bit dirty. Sometimes because of the students, but some other times because it needs someone who can clean better and more regularly.
Show details » Read more...My experience in London was wonderful! I was tested to develop my skill of language and this started in the airport. I wasn't informed of a need to show the copy of my letter of acceptance to the school and needed explain to immigration my situation. I'm a person of very much luck! My Londoner's mother was an Italian Mrs. that cooked very well and always talked with me about everything. But, I had to wash my clothing out, there wasn't bath towel available and the communication with my country was very difficult because there wasn't internet in the house. In school the immersion is full! English every time, everywhere! The teachers are very well trained but sometimes arid. And the partners were nice people I call with them until today!
Show details » Read more...I liked the school and the teachers were helpful and friendly. The school is fantastic. Probably I will go to school to EC but for longer. Housing was moderately satisfactory. The bathroom was cold water because something wasn't working. The food was average good. Hosts were helpful and nice.
Show details » Read more...I always think about my learning experience in EC Brighton as a very pleasant and useful time to spend. The classes were always interesting and fun without boring routine. Teachers are the main treasure of this school, so professional and ready to help. The location was very nice after the lessons you can enjoy seaside, and it is close to the center of the city. Facilities and study processes were perfect. At the moment, activities could be more various and interesting. I stayed with a family and they were lovely people. The accommodations were very good. But, I am lucky, because my friends had awful experience and needed to move several times. And, I visited student residence and to my mind, they have to be more comfortable.

قمت بتغير السكن بعد مناقشات و مفاوضات مطولة لانني لم اكن راض عن مستوى السكن بالبداية (السكن مع العائلة)
اتمنى ان يتم اعطاء خيارات عدة للسكن يختار الطالب من خلالها قبل وصوله الى لندنز
ملاحظات تخص الدورات المكثفة.
الدورات ليست مكثفة بالقدر الكافيز كانت شكوى مني ومن العديد من الزملاء هناك ان الدورات المكثفة لم تكن مكثفة بالشكل الكافي.
Everything was very good, including the location and my peers.What I did not like at times was the disordered media. There was one teacher named Jack who I would not recommend.
Show details » Read more...everything is pretty organized at school the teachers are very nice and patient there is a good atmosphere but concerning the residence i feel it very expensive and not comfortable, almost nothing for cooking and unfortunately i slept 1week without heating the managers of the residence are not very reactive and nobody was here to meet me at the residence the first day, but now it's ok, thank you for asking after my feedback your agency is very serious and i will really recommend you, if you need any other details do not hesitate.
see you
