Insightful Stories from Educators Shaping Your Learning Journey

“Learning English at EC Dublin boosted my confidence!”

My name is Zaira and I’m from Mexico. I spent two weeks at EC Dublin in pre-advanced level and I was so happy to be at EC. I met amazing people from all around the world, made a lot of friends, learned a lot of new vocabulary and slang. My only wish is that I could have stayed for a much longer time. To have learned English at EC made me earn more confidence when speaking in English and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Zaira, Mexico

“Learning English at EC unlocks a new reality!”

I could learn a lot of topics that I hadn’t learned when I studied English in my country, different kinds of vocabulary and expressions. In addition, listening to different accents of other students from other countries was a big challenge for me, because EC school offers geographically learning.  Of course I would say to my friends what if they want to improve their English skills, they do it at this school. Learning English at EC will give you the opportunity to unblock a new reality and it’s going to be your passport for traveling around the world! 

Jesus Eduardo, Mexico

“Manchester’s culture and diversity helped me learn and meet wonderful people.”

I chose Manchester because it’s a City with a lot of culture and entertainment, but not as crowded as London. I learned a lot about the culture and society by being in contact with a city as cosmopolitan and diverse as Manchester. I started in pre-advance and at the moment I am in proficiency (B2+-C2) What I like The most is the good will of the teachers and the receptionists who are always very helpful. I would recommend EC to my friends. I will remember the different cultures I came in contact with and that allowed me to discover wonderful people

Ana, Argentina

“Thanks to EC, I learned a lot and gained great opportunities.”

It has been an enriching process, full of learning and without EC’s help and motivation, I would not have been able to get to this point. I am very grateful for everything I have learned and for the opportunities that have opened up for me. Thanks to all! With love, your student ambassador

Tatiana, Colombia

“New goals, friendships, and unforgettable experiences!”

One month at EC don’t just learn English but also about life! Getting out of the comfort zone was and is extremely necessary. I feel ready for a new vision of everything. It was a significant opportunity (that I never imagined I would have and fulfil) to meet people and cultures from various parts of the world. To my English teachers: you were awesome!

Carla, Colombia
