I liked it all!
Interesting events - karaoke, went to bars together.
There were a lot of games and various competitions at the lessons, which was very helpful in the training process.
Great location near the beach.
I want to say that the impressions of the interaction with the Linguatrip team are very positive, everything was done on a very high level. A wonderful school and teachers, but the course for me was not very efficient. The only interesting thing was the business classes that took place two times a week.
All in all, the EC school, accommodation and leisure activities all were great! I want to thank you for organisation of my trip. It was interesting and positive experience.
I was impressed by the adaptation system of new students at school. On my first day at EC school representatives have told us everything about the education process, how it works, organised a welcoming meeting with the school staff. All classes are extremely comfort and modern,
The host family I lived with was really great! They are so welcoming and helpful people. The have told me everything I needed about their home, transport, how it's better to reach the school.
The trip to EC school of English was great! The school itself is new, modern, all the teaching staff are friendly and supportive. I have met a lot of new friends.
EC Los Angeles left only positive memories. The school is spacious, bright. I was not afraid to go to the first class- teachers helped me a lot and answered all my questions. I met people from different countries, they inspired me to continue studying in the U.S. after the program!
