I have only pleasant memories about the trip. I took an in intensive course, so my schedule was really busy – 3-4 lessons a day (1,5 hour each), quite hard, I must say. I noticed how much my skills developed. Generally, the school was good, schedule and course timetable were well-considered. There were different types of activities on the lessons and a playful component as well, which really helps to free your mind and make sure you remembered everything you learned. Bristol is a great city, I like it even better than London. You can safely book a course in this school! The only little negative thing is that there was a problem with booking and getting an invitation. There were a couple of redirects: Anastasia Shafir (manager)-Irina-school – took some time to manage everything. I shot lots of photos, there’s a couple of them: Castle Park, St. Perer's Church St. Mary Redcliff Church Bristol City Centre Landing International lunch (Bristol Language Centre (BLC) social programme on 14 February) Bunksy's art on the wall of The Point Barber Shop, Stokes Croft The Apple Sider pub on a moored boat, BLC students. Cliffton Suspension Bridge Treasure Island Book Trail - Hole in the wall pub (the place where the story begins) Flying Legend - Supersonic Civil Aircraft "Concord", Bristol Aerospace Museum Inside the St. Mary Redcliff church, chorus repetition :)) Bristol Harbor, M Shed museum...
