Thought it would be a good idea just to blog some of the comments from Language in Group students at Language in London in the last few weeks.
"A nice school witha great atmosphere. Language in London is a good school to learn English and meet people." Lucas, Spain
"It was a great time. I got a wonderful host family and I enjoyed the whole time. It is a great experience in my life." Regina, Germany
"I was getting better English in this school because there were a lot of foreign people and teachers taught English very well." Maho, Japan
I'll publish more of these every few weeks... there are so many lovely comments where students are very positive about the course, the school, the accommodation and the experience in general.

1,2, 3... Learning English on the move
One of the great consequences of three schools working together in the Language in Group is that our students can try something unique. Going to a language school is great fun because of all the amazing people you can meet but it is also an opportunity to learn about a new place.
This year we have lots of students - both individuals and those coming as part of a group - who booked two locations so that they have an experience of more than one place. And this makes a lot of sense! It is particularly popular with students travelling to us from outside Europe, who want to see and try as much as possible. We have had students from Japan, Argentina and Brazil who have booked English language courses that combine a stay in the two capitals of England and Ireland and get to experience both Language in London and Language in Dublin. Others have tried one of these capital cities and combined it with an opportunity to discover what a beautiful, traditional small town in the English countryside is like - Language in Totnes.
When you move from one school to another the Language in Group will help you with the transfer and the teachers discuss what you have studied so you are ready to continue when you arrive at your new location.
We are still waiting for the first adventurous person to book a course at all three schools. What an experience that would be... Do you want to try it?

One Year until..... the London Olympics 2012!
Exactly 365 days to go until the opening ceremony of London 2012 Olympics and we can't wait!
Some students have asked us if London will be more expensive during this period. The simple answer is no. There will be some hotels charging more but in general everyone is committed to keeping prices down and turning London into party central for the summer.
In fact, it will be an amazing time to take a language course as there will be so much to do. And London is always busy so I don't think we'll notice the extra crowds. It will be fun, fun, fun!

Week 2 - Communicating with Confidence
Language in London's new course - Communicating with Confidence in English - is now in its second week... and everything is going well.
We're looking forward to getting feedback from the students on the course so that we can start working on the second course, which begins in August.
Combining our language teaching skills with drama trainers from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, this unique English programme is designed to help learners stop worrying about grammar and concentrate on all the skills needed to be effective when communicating.
We often wonder why other schools don't try new courses. Do they really think that teaching from a course book or a photocopy is the only alternative?

Cinderella in Trafalgar Square
Great pictures of our students enjoying the free open-air opera at Trafalgar Square - http://www.facebook.com/LanguageinLondon. The social programme at Language in London can be opera one day, football in the park the next... and museums, pubs, clubs and cultural visits... the fun never stops.
We always advise our students to try everything because this is the best way to meet new people and practise English. That's why 45 wonderful students decided to join the opera trip and they all had a lot of fun.

Learning English is changing...
Language in London is changing the way people learn English. It started with an idea... and now, six years later, it's becoming a revolution!
The theory is that traditional text books used in language classes are not always the best way to learn. So much of every lesson is spent discussing what the author of the book thinks you will find interesting! What's wrong with a course that really is based on YOU and YOUR INTERESTS?
That's why we developed a course called CULTURAL EXPERIENCE. If you choose to study in London then you must be interested in London... and so the course is based around the cultural heritage of this fantastic city. But apart from that, as the lessons all take place in museums and galleries, we don't tell you what language to learn but follow the direction the class takes us. Students love it, teachers love it... give it a try!

Nothing better than learning English in London
First day at a language school can be a little frightening.... "will they be expecting me?", "will I do ok in the test?", "will I find the school?".... but at Language in London we do everything we can to welcome our students and make them feel part of the family.
Mondays include a test, induction and explanation about the school, a walking tour of the local area and a special lesson for day one.

Language in Group
This summer is a real Language in Group summer! We have students doing different combinations with courses in more than one of our schools. Some are staying in the UK and doing "the best of both worlds" with an English course at Language in London and Language in Totnes in Devon... others are combining one of the UK schools with a fantastic experience at Language in Dublin in Ireland.
This is a great way to practise English and have an unforgettable experience.

New Series on Facebook
On our Facebook Page there is a new series of "Things that happened near Language in London in Bloomsbury."
As the school is in such an amazing location there is a rich history of events and people associated with the streets and buildings within walking distance of Language in London.
The first two posts describe how George Orwell got his idea for "1984" and Big Brother and also where Karl Marx wrote "Das Kapital".

Do you want to be confident in English?
We know that our students want one thing... to be good at speaking English. And that means being confident in social situations, in interviews, at work, at university... in fact, this confidence is the difference between success and failure.
At Language in London we have a new programme to help you become confident in two weeks. It's called Communicating With Confidence and we use drama techniques to help language learners. We have developed this course with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) Enterprises and we think it's very special!

Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening..?
We're running a poll on our Facebook Fan Page to see which of the language skills is most important to our students.
At the moment, it seems that most are choosing "Speaking". The good news is that at Language in London we have courses that are designed to help learners improve all aspects of their speaking skills. These three English courses are the best three.
