Testimonial from Niklas

I have been here in EC for soon 7 weeks now it’s time for me to sum up.
I got this opportunity throw Hvitfeldtska School and the Business-program in Sweden which having a mutual connection with EC. Some of the student are allowed to go abroad to another country and do the obligatory internship and here I’m 7 weeks richer of experience and 24/7 spoken English.

What do you like about London? What do you like about the school?
Even if I am a guy that prefer an environment with high mountains and deep ocean I really enjoying my time here in London. London is an incredible city and there is so much things to do. Football, sports, culture, museums, pubs, you name it. The best thing to explain London is probably to quote Samuel Johnson ‘’When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life’’ 😉
EC London that I have faced know for seven weeks is a professional, medium big, and with good teachers with very good reputation. Everybody feeling they welcome being a part of the community. Some weeks in the school isn’t just funny but really developing and you can improve a lot.

What will be your most unforgettable memory of London?
There is many great memory’s, entering Emirates Stadium and see Arsenal win against Sunderland, hanging out at the Elephant in with my host family or Zoo bar with the students, run down for Sky Garden after being evacuated and of course to work at EC. Get experience, talk English, meeting friends and be around the good staff at EC London.

Would you recommend EC to a friend? Why?
Of course, if you want to improve your English and at the same time explore a city or meet friends EC is a really good way to go. The best part is that you can decide how much you want to improve by yourself and the teachers will help you with their good knowledge and experience. I would also recommend my friend to live in a host family and take Homestay London English Courses. Because it is not a little bit cheaper, you also got to feel the culture and speak even more English.

Where is your favourite place to hang out in the evenings? What is the best thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
There is a lot of nice places around Oxford circus and London Bridge. But otherwise in North Finchley. You have a lot of things to do on a Sunday. You can walk in Hyde Park, walk by the themes, visiting The Shard and go do a nice restaurant. I have done all of that and a really liked it. The best Sunday for me though is to watch the great, full of culture English football at the local Bar. Even if Premier League is far good as the Swedish league Allsvenskan. 🙂

Thank you EC London (both students and staff) for 7 weeks of internship were I have improved a lot and had a lot of fun.
