Una fantastica esperienza che non dimenticherò mai. Sono stata a Londra per migliorare il mio inglese ma ho trovato una famiglia composta da amici provenienti da tutto il mondo e lo devo alla scuola e alla bravura degli insegnanti ma ancora di più ai social programme e le gite fuori porta che mi hanno dato la possibilità non solo di visitare posti nuovi come Canterbury, Cambridge e Brighton ma anche parlale e conoscere nuove persone. Da qui il mio inglese è migliorato notevolmente! Grazie mille Speak Up London a presto! ☺️
