Wanchen Lee shares her reasons why she came to EC Vancouver to study English

Category: Uncategorized / Tags: , ,

Our student, Wanchen (Daisy) Lee, from Taiwan shares her reasons why she came to Canada and studies English at EC Vancouver. My name is Daisy, I come from Taiwan and I’m not a student. I want to improve my English, so I quit my job. Before I came here, I went to America to visit my friends and travel. During my trip, I realized English is the most important language, so I want to speak English well. I have been to an English cram school, but I was not a serious-studying student. In fact, I’m too lazy to study English. I don’t like to sit too long. I have many friends studying abroad and they suggested that I do the same. So I wanted to go abroad and study English before I’m 30 years old. I came here by myself. I think if I stay here for 10 months, my English will become better. Then after 10 months, I want to get a better job and travel more. EC school provides a well learning environment for students. In EC, I’m not only studying English, but also make lots of friends. All the EC teachers are kind and easy to get along with. Even though there are many students, they care about each student and remember them. There are different courses I can choose to improve my English skills. In EC, learning English makes me feel interested and increases my confidence. Now, I look forward to going to EC school every day and enjoy to study English. ====== Are you inspired by Wanchen’s story and now, you would like to study in an English school in Vancouver?

Moyuru Sumiya from Japan tells us her experience studying Business English in EC Vancouver

Category: Uncategorized / Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Moyuru came from Japan to study English in Canada at EC Vancouver this spring. After three weeks studying English she is ready to go back to her country! But she could not leave without sharing her experience with you. These are her words: ”I chose EC  because I thought that I could study Business English in Vancouver in a qualified environment. In addition, one of the EC strengths is Business English. The structure of the program allows you to get enough time to study. In only two weeks (my stay was short) I was able to improve my English and get achieve my goals. I soon found that all the teachers are very friendly and well experienced. Classes are insightful and the teachers make you think. I had the opportunity to think by myself and express my own opinion during the classes. I would like to highlight this since this is how EC differs from the rest of the classes I had taken before like University. Here you can discuss with other students and are encouraged to give your own opinion. This makes you feel more active, which I consider is perfect for Japanese students who usually are shyer. By speaking English I was able to communicate with everybody so I made a lot of friends from so many different nationalities, which helped me to understand other cultures. We all hung out together or joined the various after school activities offered at EC. I absolutely recommend EC Vancouver to my friends because I think it is a trustworthy school where they are always trying to do their best to make you feel comfortable. The staff is always willing to help you so you just have to enjoy your life as a student!“ Thank you very much! ===== Are you looking … Read more

Igor Jones from Brazil shares his experience while studying English at EC English school in Vancouver.   This is my last week in Vancouver and I had a terrific experience!

The teachers are funny and clever. They always encourage you to study hard and learn more. Each classroom has only 15 students which is awesome. My first days were a little difficult trying to adapt the city, weather, and getting to know the teacher and classmates. However, after a couple of days, I was already fully adapted.
