Lisa wrote; I did an Internship with English Language Homestays for 2 weeks. I got the opportunity to improve my English here with this wonderful team. I worked in the Office and helped to prepare folders and other stuff for the Summer school programme.

In the Afternoon I got the chance to accompany the group and other leaders to different fantastic activities such as Bowling, Brighton cycling or an all day excursion to London (Camden Market, The Natural History Museum). I have learned so many things and I don’t want to miss it. The people are so lovely and I enjoyed my time a lot. Thank you so much for this possibility and for this great time. Xx Lisa
