Studying in the UK during the Covid pandemic is OK, it’s not very hard. And now we have the habit to wear the mask and talk at a certain distance, so it’s OK. From Monday we will go inside restaurants and pubs! So, it’s very great to be in England now. It’s good to just talk and make friends. The lessons are different than in France. Here we talk a lot. We have good relationships with other students and the teacher. And we improve quickly.

Timothee, 19 from France, studied English in Manchester

I can keep practising my English language and improving my conversation skills. I can meet new people every week from different parts of the world. The best part is that I can learn without caring about making mistakes and I feel myself in a safe place.

These two weeks for me were so good. I want to come back here next year. If I can, I would stay here for one month or all year! I found here a lot of new friends. I have never cried so much when I am leaving. I love this place so much, it is forever in my heart.
