Hi everybody and welcome back to Love English. I'm Sabrah and I'm Leila and
we're both University English teachers and today we've got some recommendations
for you all about how to study English in the United Kingdom. It can be a bit scary...
to get your visa, which school to choose so today we're going to take you through
the process of choosing the right course and the right place to study. That's
right guys, so keep watching if you're interested in studying English here in
the United Kingdom so guys if you can come and study English in England
so it's one of the best things you can ever do for learning English is to
actually come to the country so England is the home of English so it's a great
place to come to to learn English of course this is going to hugely help with
your speaking and your pronunciation in your home country you might not have
that many opportunities to actually speak in English and it might be
difficult for you to speak to native speakers so it's going to massively help
you with that guys it's also great to learn in a classroom environment you're
going to be learning from other students and of course you're going to be
learning from your teacher the style of learning English in most schools and
colleges in the United Kingdom is very communicative it's very interactive yeah
which in many countries it's not that way it's a lot more doing grammar and
things like that a lot more exercises but here we really encourage
conversation so it's the best way to learn to be able to produce the language
and speak fluently in English so it really is an amazing experience and it
doesn't matter the age saber and I have taught what ages you've got 60 year-olds
literally I've taught from 14 to 16 I think I've taught younger than 14 you
can even find junior courses here that's true and of course as well you'll be
able to make friends many of the students I have had have continued to
stay in contact so they they've got pen friends pen pals that they're able to
stay in contact with after they've left the UK to keep improving their English
yeah and of course another amazing benefit is
staying with a host family having a host mum a host dad a host brother-sister
cats and you will you will definitely pick up a lot of new language looking at
slang idioms natural English pronunciation and of course you'll be
immersing yourself in the culture yeah and you're going to enjoy a lot of the
British food I'm sure beans on toast toad-in-the-hole
you're gonna love it guys my my tribe Marmite
so guys if you are interested in coming to study in the UK we can actually
directly help you to book a course and to come and study here so we're part of
a language learning network where we can help you to choose the right course in
the UK in the right place and we'll actually help you making this experience
very tailored and take a lot of the stress out of it for you by doing most
things about coming here for you so if you are interested and coming to the UK
to learn English then go to WWE LC UK q UK and there you will find lots of
information about courses as well as locations whether it's Oxford Cambridge
Bournemouth and want to come and study we say Bournemouth because they live
here we're a bit biased so you will get lots of information about the different
locations that you can study in the UK it's not just London that's available to
you and as we said before we can help you understand what kind of
accommodation you want to go for so we'll be able to help you as well choose
the course of the best suits your needs whether that is IELTS business English
academic English or just general English you might just want to come and have
some fun so I know a lot of you might be thinking oh it's too expensive I can't
afford to go and study in England it's not the case guys there are actually
some very reasonably priced courses so one of the courses we can recommend is
actually starting from 180 pounds per week which is 420 lessons which is quite
cheap quite accessible if you need accommodation then we can also arrange
that for you and that is starting from a hundred and fifteen pounds per week so
the whole package is actually quite affordable
and guys even coming for two weeks to study in the United Kingdom is going to
benefit your English hugely so you don't need to think what's the point in coming
for two weeks it's still going to be an amazing experience and you're going to
learn a lot so don't forget that is two weeks of yes twenty lessons per week but
you're also going to be in the UK you are going to be speaking listening
communicating with native speakers 24 hours a day seven days a week
well cup preparing to the pub a little bit of time sleeping as well so if
you're not based in the EU guys and you will need to get a student visa however
the process is actually quite simple once you have chosen a course or a
college or school and books that with them you will then need to ask them for
a confirmation of studies letter and you will then take that to your embassy and
from there you can be issued with a student visa so the process should be
quite simple obviously depending on which country you are in the world it
can be a little bit more complicated but commit in most cases that is almost
embassies will need to issue its June visa so we do understand that choosing
the right location and course can feel a little bit daunting meaning scary
especially when you don't have anyone to give you advice hence why you have us
you might be thinking London Edinburgh Manchester Liverpool and these all may
sound very exciting for you but you may have no idea how long to come for where
to go what kind of course and it can be quite daunting as Leila was saying our
top tips for choosing the right language course for you are take your time there
is no major rush do your research to make sure you understand at the type of
location that you're going to is there a nice beach is it a student town is it
expensive yeah okay cuz different arts of the UK are more expensive pick
another very cold or is it a bit warmer in mind don't expect tropical weather
wherever you go in UK but obviously north to south there is going to be
different weather yeah and also if you go to Ireland which is also a
possibility so choosing a location that is perhaps close to London but not
necessarily in London might be a cheaper and actually quite a nice alternative
so Bournemouth where we live is actually very close to London you can go for the
day an hour and a half way really on the train yeah very near if you're thinking
I want to go to England I want the real English experience I want cups of tea
red phone boxes Buckingham Palace seeing the Queen all of that and you're
determined to go to London that's fine but just be aware that London is very
expensive and London is very big and you may find yourself about an hour away
from the centre of London but you're still in London also most schools good
schools are actually going to offer you excursions that means they will organize
everything for you take you to London to Bath to Stonehenge and provide the
transport and you can go as a group and it's quite an experience afternoon me so
London is not the only city in the UK guys there's form of Brighton this
fantastic cities in the north of England for example Manchester Liverpool
Edinburgh in Scotland Glasgow so keep your options open and as Lily was saying
do your research decide what feels right for you
so Sabre if they do choose Manchester or Liverpool or Burma Glasgow or Birmingham
yeah what can they expect okay guys so in those cities they the people there
will have quite strong accents on the whole so for example if you go to
Glasgow you're going to need to expect to hear the Glaswegian accent the
Scottish accent which is quite strong however it does have a nice sound as
well and it might be that you really want to learn Scottish accent in which
case perfect that's a great choice for you it depends really on your level if
you're a more advanced learner and your listening is quite good you can choose
pretty much anywhere but if you're perhaps more on the elementary level I
would maybe suggest going somewhere the accent is a little bit more neutral
go towards the south yes we don't have a more neutral accent yeah now another
really important thing to consider when choosing your school is to get a school
that has great learning outside the classroom activities that means that
after your classes they will organize activities in groups yeah it should be
it so it's a great opportunity to practice your English and make friends
and of course with lots of other nationalities yeah and it also means you
get to experience more of the British culture that's right guys in the College
where we work we've often had pancake days who learn how to make pancakes
we've had learn how to make bagels we've had trips all over the country they pull
they play Pierre they play pool and go for a drink on I think it's Wednesday or
Tuesday so if you are a little bit shy and you find it quite difficult to push
yourself to kind of interact to socialise with people then this can be a
great way to help build your confidence in English and just in general really
yeah definitely like anything guys when you're choosing
something you can always check the reviews of schools lots of students will
write reviews they'll give their feedback on websites I would strongly
suggest that you do check the reviews for example you might find out that your
school is quite far away from the centre and this may be something that you you
don't really like the sound of so do make sure that you read the student
reviews and make a decision based on the information there as well
now all of the schools which we work with are British Council accredited so
the British Council are the learning English regulatory body in the UK and if
a school is British Council accredited so they will have come in and done an
inspection on the school to make sure that is meeting the highest standards in
terms of student education and learning outside the classroom activities and
also about the standard that the teachers are producing in the classroom
so it's a really really good thing to go to British Council schools
