What our students said about Vancouver
A wonderful city! I got to know several neighborhoods besides downtown and neighboring cities like North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Burnaby. I loved everything! I want to move there soon!
The economy and the climate of most cities in Canada are similar. People in here are un - enthusiastic, not like American.
Great city, great surroundings, very friendly people, it’s really worth going there.
Beautiful city, lots to do but in my opinion there is a lack of culture.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Vancouver
There are two or three teachers whose teaching methods are good. Other teachers teach by playing games. Generally, the first class in the morning and afternoon from Monday to Thursday, which is more formal, the others classes are including some interactive. The extra classes on Friday are paid speaking activity. This week, the teacher was sick, so a new teacher led us to play word guessing games in the class. The class went by but there wasn't much knowledge that we can learn from the school. Compared with the other students who have been here for half a year, their English is not very good and I don’t feel that they have improved a lot.
The learning experience is just so so.

Course: Practical Conversation English (Full-time) - 2 weeks
Student age: 40 years
The number of students per class was very good!
16 November 2023
Course: Intensive 30 - 1 week
Student age: 33 years
I particularly liked the location of the school. It is very central and easy to reach. The school also offers free activities several times a week. I chose this school again because I had a great experience with it a few years ago. I was there for 2.5 weeks and had great teachers. My English improved a lot during that time and the lessons were fun. This time, too, I had two great teachers who were attentive to the students and provided assistance. Overall, you get a warm welcome at the school and the staff are friendly and helpful.
10 June 2023
Course: Intensive 30 - 2 weeks
Student age: 36 years
In the school, consideration is given to the individual strengths and weaknesses of the students. This enabled me to improve in the areas relevant to me. The small class size has made a decisive contribution to my progress and I would definitely visit the school again. To get the best experience, you should take part in some activities, especially at the beginning. The organisation of the language course was very quick and straightforward and if any questions arose, I always received an answer very promptly.

Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Vancouver
Could I choose to stay with non-Spanish girls?
I want to go to Canada to start learning French in Vancouver. I want to take a course for a few weeks to see what the language is like. I would like to know if my age of 39 is an impediment and if you help me to manage the visa from Colombia.
As for your age, I assure you that it is not an impediment. The schools welcome students of all ages and I firmly believe that it is never too late to learn something new. To give you an idea, the average age of students is around 25.
Regarding the visa, although we do not directly manage the visa process, the school you choose in Canada will provide you with all the necessary documentation once you have completed the full payment of your booking. This documentation will help you to apply for your student visa.”
