Their Experience in Our Language Courses
Farbod
« I am happy to improve my English; I chose this school. This is where I met Mark, and it had a great impact on my progress. I wish I had more time to continue my studies here. Also, I met John, who has a special teaching method and taught me many things. Mark’s teaching method is very effective because he is strong in teaching and can communicate very well. Finally, I want to express my gratitude. »

« Studying English at the YMCA International Language School was a great experience. The courses are given in small groups with students from all over the world. It’s super interactive and you learn every aspect of the language: speaking, writing, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and reading. The learning material is comprehensive and the teachers take the time to explain each rule. I highly recommend it. »
