I improved my English a lot, because everyone is so helpful and open minded

I lived in London for 11 months and spent 40 weeks at Bloomsbury International Language School. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I arrived in London last September. I thought I could speak English but I was afraid of talking with foreigners and really nervous. I realized I was like “a small fish in a big pond”. I’ll never forget my first lesson at this school because I could understand what the teacher said but I couldn’t say any response. I just said “I don’t know”. However, one of the teachers said to me, “don’t be afraid of making mistakes!”, so I changed my mind. A few months later, I got used to chatting with teachers and made a lot of friends! In my case, improvement of my English was slow but the teachers were always kind and they took care of me. I improved my English a lot, because everyone is so helpful and open minded. Thanks to all of the teachers, students and staff who I met in this school. It was unforgettable. Thank you so much and I will always remember you! This picture is my favourite teacher David and I!
