I recommend...

Now this is my last post about my journey to Bournemouth.

In this post I only want to say, that I can really recommend this trip to every student, trainee or employee. It was a nice experience and I´m glad that I had the chance to go to England for 4 Weeks.

It´s good, because even in the first week you notice that your use of the english language started to be better than before. The school and teacher as well, had done a great job and are really kind.
Soon you really started to like this place and the school because you learn a lot in a really nice atmosphere.

So I can recommend it to all, who think they aren´t good in the use of english language and want to go abroad.
So If you think about going to an english speaking country, I can recommend the Program with "Arbeit und Leben" and Westbourne Academy.

Thank you for reading my blog about my travel experience from the last four weeks.

Goodbye Bournemouth, goodbye England

After two weeks in England the time runs so fast that four weeks were over soon.

In the last two weeks I changed my class to upper intermediate, but due to my time in Westbourne Academy I made a lot of new friends all over the world, it was a wonderful time and a lot of new experiences.

When I noticed the time is near to move back to germany I was really sad, because I liked to do so many things with my new friends and they all stayed longer than me in Bournemouth. But nothing changed the last week, we talked a lot and with my Korean friend I met before school. She was sad like me, because we had so much fun together.

On the last friday we´ve done a lot pictures to keep the nice memories of this wonderful time and said goodbye to students and teachers.
 After our last lesson we got a certificate from our language school and than we could move back to our host familys.

At the evening I packed my suitcases for my trip back home at the next day.
When I finished, my hostfather weight my suitcases, if they are not to heavy, but everything worked and I went to bed.

On Saturday at quarter before one p.m., I catched my couch and drove back to Heathrow.
My plane started at 06:30 p.m. and I was back in germany at 09:00 o´clock at the evening.

When I arrived and entered the last check my family waited for me to pick me up from the airport.
We had a nice welcome back dinner, even when it was late, and talked a lot about my experiences.

 Great Pictures from my Trip to London I want to share with all of you. There are really nice places which I can recommend, but the easiest way to go to this places is with an Hop on Hop off bus, a great travel experience.

Great beach in Bournemouth, nice weather and no people.


Photomashup: Beach Huts

 One thing that you will see at Bournemouth Beach are the small Beach Huts which are all individual, look through the picture, they have all different colors and some huts were paint new while the time I stayed in Bournemouth, but I like this small Huts a lot.






 On one side the Huts are in big lighting colors and on the other side there are soft pastel huts. They look really nice at the Beach.
Goodbye Bournemouth, Goodbye Beach Huts

Fabulous City, Fabulous London


While my time in England, there were the Bankholidays because of Easter.

I decided to do a trip to London on the weekend. As well, my mum and my sister visited me in London.

We walked through the city and at first we ate an traditional english breakfast with eggs, sausages and baked beans. After that we walked along the shopping stores in Regent Street, a very expencive shopping area in London and finished at the Oxfort Street where I bought some souvenires for home.

We finished our day by traditional fish´n´chips in Londons Street Food Corner.
All in all it was a really great day.


On Sunday my mum and my sister left and flew back to Germany again. So I was visiting different puplic places in London and had done a lot of sightseeing.
Because it was raining a lot on that day, I interrupted my Sightseeing Tour for Lunch.
After Lunch, the sun came out and I decided to go on with the sightseeing and decided to go with an Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour instead of tube or bus, because this would take much more time.

And with an windy and rainy monday I finished my visit in London and drove back by couch to Bournemouth.

Goodbye London, but we will see us again.

The Situation of classes

Concerning the different classes...

You have your basic class, thats the class you have every day in the week. You get into different Levels, for example there are Elementary, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate or Advanced, but these are not all. You can also go to an extra exam-class where you will write a test for an international certificate.

In the basic class you learn a lot of grammar, what is really good I think. And it all deals with different topics, so it will never get boring.
If you are really good at this Level, you can graduate to an upper level, for example me.
After two weeks in Intermediate class, the teacher told me, that I will be now in Upper Intermediate.
They can proof it with reference to your homeworks, you get homework every day and sometimes a presentation for the end of the week. If they see, that your homework is good and that you are good in class, you can graduate the level.

Then there are the lessons, which are only twice a week, these are the speaking courses, there the teacher talk with you about different topics, so that you have to talk with the others, to improve your english speaking.

After a long day in school, you can fall asleep at the same moment you are back at your hostfamily, but nevertheless the class programms and the possibility of changing and improving, is really good and after a short time in school, you notice that your english is getting better and better.
