Our Students Testimonials

“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

“English opens doors to the world!

“I study English at EC because it opens many doors in life. It is the language that allows me to communicate with people from all over the world and better understand their culture.”

Ivet, Spain

“My two weeks at EC Malta were life-changing”

When I decided to study English in Malta, I didn’t imagine how much this choice would impact my life. This exchange brought me everything that makes my heart beat faster: meeting and connecting with people, absorbing the intangible, learning and experiencing new experiences. For two weeks, I experienced a complete immersion in English, inside and outside the classroom, totaling 30 hours of course in EC English, but the learning went far beyond that. Now, 15 days later, I return home with a broader vocabulary, a vibrating heart and an even greater cultural baggage.”

Sabrina, Brazil

“An experience I’ll cherish for life. Thank you, EC!”

It is with great pride and immense satisfaction that I share the completion of the General English course, intermediate level (B1+), at the incredible institution EC English, in Malta. The impeccable support from your entire team was crucial in making this experience unforgettable and highly important for both my personal and professional life. I am deeply grateful, and without a doubt, I will carry the experience I gained with me for the rest of my life. See you soon!

Raphael, Brazil
