I studied at IAE for about two years and went through the entire journey from Beginning to…read moreAdvanced, so I can honestly say that this school became a very important part of my English-learning experience.
I am from Russia, and when I first came to IAE, I knew only the basics of English. I could barely put a sentence together, I was not able to speak comfortably, and I was often afraid of making mistakes.
What was especially interesting for me was that I learned English through English. From the very beginning, I had to listen, understand, speak, and slowly get used to using English in my everyday life. For me, this made an incredible difference and helped me make progress that I honestly did not expect.
IAE helped me not only improve my vocabulary and grammar, but also see language learning in a completely different way. Little by little, I became more confident, started speaking more, and stopped being so afraid of making mistakes. Learning English became something interesting and even fun for me. Of course, there were difficult moments, but I now understand that they were also an important part of my progress.
During these two years, I learned so much and met people from many different countries and cultures. One of the things I appreciated most was that everyone had a different background, culture, and native language, but we were all communicating in English. It was an amazing experience to see how one language could bring people from completely different places together.
I am truly grateful to every teacher who taught me along the way. Each teacher helped me in a different way, and I really appreciate their patience, support, and everything they put into helping their students grow.
I also want to thank the director, Bill , for creating such a welcoming environment and for caring about the students.
When I look back now, it is honestly hard to believe how far I have come. I came to IAE barely able to speak English, and I am leaving with an Advanced level and much more confidence in myself.
For me, these two years were about much more than learning a language. They were about meeting new people, discovering different cultures, challenging myself, and seeing how much I was capable of.
Thank you, IAE, for these two years. I am genuinely grateful for everything I learned and everyone who was part of this journey
