The things that I most liked are the possibility to speak English with my colleagues and teacher (practice my fluency), the help that my teacher gave me to speak correctly and to learn vocabulary.

On my first day I was very nervous but in the end, there was nothing to be afraid of. The teacher and my colleagues were very kind, making me feel at home; the classes were different from our secondary school: we learn by using games, films, music and different exercises. In short, I am loving my English Course!
