Amazing week!

Truly one of the best experiences of my life. I had been wanting to come to the UK ever since I was 10 so this was a dream come true. At first I was a bit scared that Cardiff wouldn’t meet my expectations but it absolutely surpassed them. I was also worried about having to stay with a family I didn’t know, but I felt welcomed and well received from day 1. 

I had so much fun with Sophie and the rest of the family. Some of my favourite activities were the visits to Cardiff Castle, St. Fagans and Principality stadium. However, I also enjoyed walking along the Taff and all the little independent shops in the city’s arcades. Despite doing classes in the morning and activities in the afternoon, I still had plenty of free time, which is always quite nice. 

Regarding the tuition work and the classes, I feel that I have learned a lot since I came here and I have improved in every way I aimed to do so. I loved working with Sophie and the fact that the lectures were adapted to my needs and interests. 

I learned about British and Welsh culture and history, made new friends… All in all, I had a wonderful time and I know I will remember this experience for the rest of my life and I hope to return some day.

Living Learning English Review:

Hello, my name is Arthur and I’m from Switzerland.I’m fifiteen.I really enjoyed my two weeks stay in Daniela’s family. My english has improved and I’m satisfied about it.

Study:

Everyday exept the weekend, I got up at 7:30, the lessons started at 8:15 and finished around 11:30. I think that these two weeks in Cambridge have been very useful, knowing that I’m going to be studying IGCSE’s next year, and it’s also a good experience. I practiced my writing skills a lot, and I think it helped me improve my english.

Activities:

Everyday, we went out to visit a different place. The father of the family: Derick, once took me to an aircraft museum. He knows almost everything about these planes: their history, what they were used for, the countries who used to use them, and much more.

Food:

The food was delicious. Daniela is a great cook. She makes her pizzas from scratch, which makes them particularly tasty. I really enjoyed them.

Family:

The Thakes are lovely. They were always there to help if there was any problems and they are very friendly. I spent a pleasant time with them during these two weeks in Cambridge.
