Lydia

inlingua Vancouver has very good teachers. First time when I came here I was not sure, but after a while I know now three good teachers. I came from Switzerland and in Switzerland it was very difficult to improve my English. What I like in Vancouver is the Waterfront and the Seafood restaurants like Carderos, Steamworks, Joe Forte’s, etc...

For me, inlingua is the best language school to study English. I think I’m really lucky to be here at inlingua Vancouver. Everybody at inlingua Vancouver is nice and friendly. It makes me study very comfortably. I feel like I’m at home. And that’s why I stayed at inlingua Vancouver for 10 months. I’m going to miss this school so much. All the teachers, staff and my friends as well. So now I strongly recommend it to you. I’m pretty sure that you will agree with me and write the same thing.

Willy

The thing I like the most at inlingua is the relationship with the teachers. They are really nice to you and they try to help you as much as they can. I also like both campuses because they are so new and you have facilities to use. inlingua prepares a lot of activities for the afternoon and weekends. It’s a good way to have fun and meet a lot of people from different countries and cultures at the same time. Going back to the classes you have a lot of variety to choose from, you can take classes only to improve your speaking, or grammar or whatever you specifically want so it’s a great way to learn what your really need to improve.

I studied at inlingua Vancouver for 6 months and graduated at the advanced 5+ level. I was taking general English courses in the morning and also one academic course in the afternoon. inlingua has many specific courses for students who want to deal with their weaknesses, interests or purposes to get improved. I joined the "career development program" or CDP for short and got hired by a Canadian company to broaden my working experience and develop my career in an English speaking country. inlingua consultants are very patient and considerate with every student, I appreciated that. Thanks to all the teachers for teaching me very useful English and giving great advice. I highly recommend inlingua language classes to anyone coming to learn English in Canada.

Ladies and gentlemen, guys, boys and girls! I am going to tell you about my amazing summer at the school inlingua Vancouver!

First I’m going to tell you about the inlingua's teachers. All teachers are very good! I liked how they teach. All teachers, whose classes I've been to, gave me a lot of new information! I undoubtedly improved my vocabulary, speaking, writing, listening and grammar skills! On every one of my questions, teachers gave me an answer. So, in the morning classes we learnt something new every day and spoke a lot! The afternoon classes were also awesome and exciting! I had two afternoon classes: Idioms & Slang and Semi private lessons. I learnt a lot of new vocabulary from slang and loads of idioms. On the semi private lesson, we listened to music and improved our vocabulary and speaking!!! So my classes at inlingua were more than cool!!!

inlingua school is one of the best places to meet new international friends and learn something interesting from their cultures. I met a lot of new friends from Venezuela, Brazil, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Japan and Spain!!! That was a very good experience for me!!!

Moreover I'd like to tell you about inlingua's activity program and about Vancouver city! inlingua organized some good activities for students every day. Movies, Stanley Park, trip to Victoria and Whistler and some other awesome activities! Vancouver is a very interesting city. You can see some different cultures: Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, American, European...

To sum it up, I want to say a few words! Improve your English, improve yourself, study at inlingua school and enjoy!

Erika

What I love about studying at inlingua: I love Inlingua Vancouver because despite a short duration of 1 month for studying here, I was able to make so many awesome friends from all over the world. In my class, for example, we discussed about topics which our teacher gave us. I was also able to learn different cultures in other countries which is really interesting for me. Our teachers are all kind and friendly, and they always gave us opportunities to speak English and corrected our English when we made a mistake. I was able to concentrate on studying English, speaking, listening and so on. This is because not only lessons, teachers and classmates, but also the campus which is so clean and always keeps its temperature comfortable.

I studied hard at Inlingua Vancouver, especially before final exams and presentations. Therefore, I believe my English skill improved so much, and I am very pleased to challenge next steps in my life with my experience in Inlingua Vancouver.

Inlingua Vancouver also has so many different kinds of activities, and I joined a Seattle trip activity. I thought I should have joined other activities because it was such a great experience and I was able to make a lot of friends there as well.

Overall, I was completely satisfied with my life in Inlingua Vancouver. Thank you so much!

Visiting Vancouver and studying at Inlingua are those type of memories that going to last all my life. Vancouver or Vancity or Raincouver you can call it whatever, Is one of a kind, city with the "soul"- insane mixture of different cultures, nice people, delicious cuisine, outstanding night life and much more. Everyone can find something personal in this place and fell in love with it, which I guarantee. I can't tell the story about Vancouver without Inlingua. Besides the fact that it is one of the best language school and that their teaching methods are hell effective, this guys are awesome! They are funny, smart and everybody has a good personality. It was a great pleasure to meet this people. Thank you guys for my best moments. Love you! Cheers!

My study abroad experience

For a very long time I had the idea in my head about traveling and at the same time practicing my English abroad. I was considering lots of options, comparing living conditions, climate, nature of different countries and prices. I was very careful and picky about ESL school as I had some previous experience of studding English in London which was just useless waste of money. So as a result I chose co-op program at inlingua Vancouver. It’s a one year program, which is six month of studying and six month of working. It’s a great program since you have a chance to cover a cost of studying.

As a majority of ESL schools in Vancouver, inlingua is located in the heart of Downtown and has good equipment. But what attracted me mostly is inlingua’s unique methodology of learning languages, which I found very helpful. I was lucky with my teachers, and I would like to thank: Awesome Petra, Outstanding Jacob, Funniest Tim and Creative Laura. All of them are competent professionals and interesting persons. As for Vancouver, it’s an incredibly beautiful city especially in spring and summer time. I loved it for its amazing combination of skyscrapers, mountains, ocean water and fantastic nature. As it turned out, this city is so congenial to me, I like its moderate rhythm of life, love of sport and active life style. This program is a great experience for the whole life and I would suggest it for those who are not afraid of challenges and changes.

Sasha

Hello my name is Sasha. I used to be a student at inlingua Vancouver school for 6 months. It was such a great experience for me. When I arrived there, on the first day, everyone was so friendly, I felt very comfortable, like at home :) After taking an English test, school does "pizza party" for students, which was a very nice surprise. It helps to have casual conversations and get to know the other students. The best part of this school is the amazing teachers. I really enjoyed coming to class every day. Every single class was unique; not only studying books but also having fun activities and discussions, sharing some stories, learning about other countries while learning English. Teachers are also very helpful if you have any other questions about living in Canada. They will always give you advice, and they will be there for you if you need them. I am still communicating with my teachers after my graduation.

Another great thing about inlingua Vancouver is that they organize all kind of trips year round so students can discover for themselves about beautiful British Columbia. I enjoyed my studies at this school and would definitely recommend it to those who are trying to decide which school to go to in Vancouver, Canada.

Mihoko

I wanted to speak my own language from time to time, but I always tried to think and talk in English, to follow the "English Only Policy" at inlingua Vancouver. I believe this policy is the best way to improve your English. It is easy to make friends at inlingua Vancouver. Talk to other students! They always welcome you to be their friend. I made many friends from different countries. My teacher, Katrin, is very cute and nice ♡ . I studied at inlingua Vancouver for 2 weeks. Despite the short term, I felt my English improved. I wish I could study longer at inlingua.

Tatsuya

"Why do I have to study English?" This is the beginning of my study abroad experience. At first, I didn't have any strong reason to study English. In my opinion, if you live in your own country and only communicate with people speaking your own language, English is not necessary. But if you want to get a better job or want to travel abroad and enjoy it, English is a very important skill. In fact, the most serious situation was that I couldn't express my opinions and share my ideas with others. I was very frustrated. One month later, I certainly felt that my English skills improved. For example, I can understand what teacher says and communicate with my classmates in English now. These things are the results that I got at inlingua Vancouver. I think I wouldn't have been able to have such an experience if i couldn't have spoken English. If you can speak English, it means you can communicate with friends and colleagues from different counties. More over, anywhere in the world where you work, travel, and have precious days, your appreciation for English will expand more and more. These are the reasons why I study English here, and enjoy the experience is my aim.

Daria

My trip to the city of Vancouver and studying at inlingua was like a fairy tale. The school is really awesome, because it gives a lot of opportunities to develop not only your language skills, but also to develop yourself, your personality. What is most important, is making a lot of great and unforgettable friends! Students at inlingua Vancouver are the best and the funniest people in the world. Moreover, teachers there are extremely cool and professional. Talking about Vancouver, I can say that it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and if you are young and active, you can find a lot of opportunities there (from sport activities to crazy night life). So, in the end, I would like to add that if I were you and had a chance to study at inlingua Vancouver and visit this city, I would go there with no doubts. Don't waste your time and have some of the most awesome days in your life there!!!!

I'm very thankful to inlingua Vancouver for helping me to reach my goals.

I came to Vancouver in October, 2011. First of all I went to inlingua College, because it has very good reputation. All my expectations were successfully satisfied. I started to speak English on my second day! Professional teachers, friendly environment, multiculturalism, and great activities every day, it's all about inlingua Vancouver. I would highly recommend this college for all who are starting in Vancouver.
