Trilingua Language Centre

I had chosen a one-to-one course but in addition to the hours of my course I was also able to meet with students from another course, thus gaining an 'extra' in both basic learning and dialogue skills.
The teacher in conversations aimed at teaching the language often introduced interesting topics making the lesson more enjoyable. In addition to the course hours, the teacher organised activities outside the school to bring us face to face with local people in order to involve us in real-life situations.
The school is not located in the centre of Birmingham but in a quiet area. It is possible to visit the centre of Birmingham by public transport in just over 30 minutes.
It is still possible to reach shopping areas with many shops in a short time

From Monday to Friday morning, I had an English class with other students from different countries (France, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia) at the teachers' house. We wrote about the day before, we read and talked in english. In the afthernoon I played games and visited places with the teacher and the others students.

I was there for three months and it was incredible! I met a lot of people and most of them had become my friends, and we still keep in touch. The daily programmes were different every week and it wasn't an effort to wake up early to have classes because they were very fun and interactive. The funnest activity was the shops-activity lesson because we able to help each other and complete the activity at the same time. I visited a lot of places and I really enjoyed the trips. My teacher/ host mother Marlene and her husband were very pleasant and kind. I absolutely recommend this fantastic experience to everyone.

I attended Trilingua Language Centre three times. If I could, I would go there every year!

The family is so great! The teacher is very helpful and the lessons are different for everyone, and adapted to your level.

Sutton Coldfield is a small town, with shops and leisures, ideal for a foreign student! Trilingua House is 40min (in bus) away from Birmingham, the big city!

After everything, I will never forget the moments I had when I lived there!

I am so impatient to come back!

I would need an entire book to describe my personal experience at Trilingua Language Centre. In short, back in 2008/2009, I spent one year in Sutton Coldfield; I was attending secondary school there as part of an abroad program. Although I had previously studied English, I could speak very very little of it, but already after two weeks I could notice a huge improvement. By the end of the year, I took 8 GCSES with top marks. The host mother, Marlene, can speak my mother tongue language, but she always spoke to me in English even when I had difficulties. This helped me massively!

My experience in Sutton was so positive that I then decided to go back to the UK to get a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, and now I am currently pursuing a PhD. This is all thanks to my English learning year at Trilingua Language Centre! I would recommend it to anyone whose first priority is to learn English and experience English culture and tradition.
