"Hello, my name is Malik. I have been here for 7 months and I found that it was such a nice experience. I’ve learnt a lot, I can use my English in any situation. Another thing is, I started at a basic level, which is A1, and now I’m in C1 which is a great jump in English. I really recommend, and I really appreciate it, thank you ETC"

Thanks to each and every person who have been and continue to be part of the ETC project; to the staff and teachers for their kindness, patience, support, and willingness to serve; and to the host families for welcoming us into their homes and sharing with us a part of British culture.
To my classmates, with whom I was able to share experiences, customs, moments, and joyful times both inside and outside the institution, and with whom I remain in contact to this day, proving that distance is not a barrier.
To the chef and the members of the restaurant team for providing healthy, varied, and delicious meals, and finally to the activities team, who make a constant effort to offer diverse activities that foster the integration of the entire community.
