Given 6 months to do it felt like it was ages. Some units went smooth whilst others were a drain. Overall it was amazing. The assignments were the aspects that was preventing or obstructing my way of doing things. I had to ask for a weeks extension which wasn't very cool.

LITA was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. What made the program so special to me was that it wasn’t just about learning Spanish in a classroom—it was about truly living the language and culture every single day. From staying with host families to exploring small, rural towns I felt completely immersed in authentic Spanish life. At first, the “Spanish only” environment felt intimidating, but it ended up being the reason I grew so much. I became more confident speaking Spanish than I thought possible, not because I was memorizing vocabulary, but because I was constantly connecting with real people and navigating everyday life in another language. By the end of the program, Spanish started to feel natural to me. What I loved most about LITA was the sense of community. The group leaders care about every student and create such a supportive, welcoming environment. I made incredible friendships with people from all over the country, and the shared experience of stepping outside our comfort zones brought everyone really close together. I also became so close with my host family, who made me feel at home from the very beginning. I can not recommend this program enough to anyone who is hoping to expand their Spanish language skills.

I had a very positive experience with The TEFL Academy. The course materials were well organized, informative, and practical for real classroom situations. I especially liked that the assignments encouraged critical thinking and lesson planning instead of only focusing on theory. The course helped me better understand classroom management, teaching strategies, and how to work with students from different language backgrounds. One of the biggest strengths of the program was the flexibility of the online format. I was able to complete coursework around my work schedule while still learning a large amount of useful information. The feedback on assignments was helpful and professional, and the units gradually built confidence throughout the course. Overall, I feel the course prepared me well for applying to teaching positions abroad and gave me a much stronger understanding of English language teaching.

I did LITA's Northern Spain program in the summer of 2022 at 15 years old, and it remains the single best experience of my life. What sets LITA apart from every other program is how deeply personal it is. From day one, our leaders and Jordan knew exactly who I was, my interests, my personality, my goals. The level of individualized attention in a group of students is something you simply don't find somewhere else. My host family experience was incredible and genuinely changed how I see the world. We traveled across all of Northern Spain — Galicia, Valladolid, the Pyrenees, and Barcelona each stop carefully chosen to deepen our understanding of Spanish culture rather than just check tourist boxes. The whole program operates with a family mindset; you don't just visit Spain, you become part of it. If you're a high schooler serious about Spanish and craving an authentic, life-changing adventure, LITA is unlike anything else out there.

I really love that I can schedule anytime during the week regardless if it's weekend or not comparing with traditional Chinese schools. All the teachers were excellent and gave their all to help us improve our language skills.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Amani! We're proud to be a part of your Chinese learning journey. 🙌

Before joining Silk Mandarin, I had tried learning Chinese in different ways, but I often felt stuck when it came to speaking naturally and remembering what I learned. I wanted a school that focused on real communication and could help me build confidence step by step. Choosing Silk Mandarin Suzhou was honestly one of the best decisions for my Chinese learning journey. The teaching style is very different from traditional language classes, especially the Slow Motion Technique and the way lessons are structured to make speaking feel much more manageable and natural. What surprised me most was how quickly I became more comfortable using Chinese in everyday situations. My teacher, Sisi, has been absolutely wonderful — patient, encouraging, and very skilled at explaining things clearly. The classes are engaging, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable, and the school activities also make the whole experience feel welcoming and motivating. I would highly recommend Silk Mandarin Suzhou to anyone serious about improving their Chinese in a practical and enjoyable way.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Schönberg Education, and especially to Claire Sun, for her outstanding support and for efficiently resolving the issues I was facing. Your professionalism and dedication are truly. Higly appreciate it ！

We're so glad to hear it, claire! 😁 Good luck with the rest of your Chinese studies 🙌 Jiayou.

I'm happy to report that everything was excellent with Study TEFL - it's legit and the cert's accepted for online teaching platforms. I learned so much with their course. I did the 120 hours TEFL-TESOL which included a full unit on online teaching - this really helped me to understand what I'd be expected to do. Especially helpful are the full ESL classroom model videos. I finished the course after 4 weeks of study.

I had a great time here at Maximo Nivel and I felt like everyone was always there for me to answer any open questions or to help me. Also i really loved my Spanish lessons and think the Spanish teacher was great.

A wonderful experience! I met such incredible people and now my best friends, that I still see and travel with years later.. what you put into your experience is what you will get out of it. USAC did a great job with offering opportunities to be immersed into the culture. Verona itself was a beautiful city. Absolutely fell in love. I loved explored and learning!!
