New year, new faces...

Last week was a little quiet as our students slowly began to come back to school. This morning there are a lot of new faces and the buzz is back.

We know it can be a little nerve-wracking arriving at a language school on the first day (are they expecting me? will I understand what they say? how do I introduce myself? how will they know what my level is?).

For many students, coming to study English in London is not just about studying English... whether they are coming for one or 48 weeks, this is a great opportunity to meet people from many different countries, make new friends and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I get emails from ex-students every week and they always tell me that they are still in contact with a number of people who were in their class. On the school's Facebook page there are students who were here this summer... and some who were students at Camden College of English more than 15 years ago!

I always believe that a language school is the easiest place to meet people and make friends. All you need to say is, "Hi, my name is.................., where are you from?" and a conversation begins.

So.... if your new year's resolution is to improve your language skills and meet some new people... you know where to go!
