The GENERAL ENGLISH courses at Language Links focus on the language skills for Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking in English. All skills are covered each week and a variety of text books, learning materials and study resources are supplied to assist the students to practice each skill, plus a variety of Grammar and Vocabulary building exercises. The courses are very structured and follow a nationally accredited curriculum, which includes weekly testing to ensure course progress. This way students can reach their study goals faster!
Practical activities are also used throughout the course to give students the opportunity to experience the language by actually participating in ‘real world’ situations. Role Play and Communication activities are an important part of the General English class structure to assist students to build confidence.
Our students receive individual attention from highly qualified staff and are given the opportunity to improve their English in small, personal groups, in a caring, family-like study environment.

The relationship between classmates was very good and supportive. The relationship between teacher and students was very tight, which affected the fun of learning very much.
The classrooms were not very big. In the summer, the AC was not always working properly. But in my opinion, most important is the teacher and not facilities!
I enjoyed Friday activities very much. It is so important to have some fun together, and it was a great way to end a busy week in school.
My host family was awesome and I can highly recommend them. Having said that, it is probably only a great place for someone who is independent.
I only spent 5 weeks following LL classes and I didn't take any exams. But as far as I know it's a really good school and I made lots of progress. We were only 6 or 7 per class and the teachers were friendly. The school is in the city center almost in front of the bus stop. The housing was really good! People where I stayed were really keen on helping and friendly.

Ask a questionWe believe that should be fine. The only problem is that the booking is for 2015. For that reason it is really hard to be sure about anything. The 3 weeks holiday in between courses is okay. We can confirm a homestay.
