Manchester Academy of English UK

My Experience

Hello, I am Ryota Kawasaki from Japan.

I like studying at Manchester Academy of English, because I can learn the four skills: reading, speaking, writing and listening.

There is a test every Thursday, when I can check my weakness and how much I have improved. In addition, there is a tutorial every month. The Director of Studies asks about my lessons and my homestay. I feel that the school not only looks after my studies but also my life in Manchester. The facilities in the school are also nice. I can use the library, student lounge and computer room. I am particularly pleased that computers, which support several languages, are free to use. So, I can easily communicate with my family and friends in Japan by e-mail.

In addition, social activities are run twice a week, when we can visit interesting places in Manchester, for example, museums, galleries and restaurants. They are very good opportunities to make new friends from all the different classes.

The school is located in the Manchester city centre. There is very easy access to all transport, such as buses, trains and trams. And there is also a big shopping centre near by called The Arndale Centre, as well as a lot of shops, cafes and department stores. It is very convenient!
