My name is Francesco Gallo and i am from Italy.
I spent 4 weeks inEdinburgh for homestay course. When arrived there I was
at intermediate level but
thanks to the excellent teacher, Mrs Annette, I made great progress.
The course was the best language course I`ve ever done, because it really
prepared
me for my exam .
Annette was always willing to help me with any kind of problems and I am
very grateful to her
because after the class we had extra activities and also trips to visit
many interesting places close to Edinburgh.
It was a great honour to attend the course under Annette teaching and met
her family because they made me feel
at my home.
A big thank to Annette, I am sure that she is really one of the best
English teachers in the world!!!
