It’s been almost six months after I started to study English in Vancouver with EC. Now I feel a little more comfortable speaking and using English, but it was really difficult at first. The level I started at was Intermediate. I would say it was a fine level and it was even a bit hard for me at that time. However, after making some foreign friends who are mostly able to speak English well, it was obvious that my English skills highly improved by hanging out with them.
Also the more I go out, the more I felt that my own effort of studying was changing and improving, but I would believe that the situations that make you use English would let you experience more than just a word in your textbook. What I like to tell you is that everything you are going to experience here in Vancouver, should be helpful.
