General English with Conversation and Pronunciation

I had so much fun studying in the ohc center
The place is very well organized
The staff is very cooperative and helpful.

I had an excellent relationship with the teachers and most of the staff. They taught me very well; always with a good attitude when teaching, encouraging the students to learn. The location was good with access to the train, supermarket, near downtown, etc. However, the facilities were poor, the classrooms were small, and there were a lot of students. Sometimes there were problems with the central heating and the noise of construction. I did not like that at all.

Well, the experience of the trip, staying in Canada and making new friends was an amazing opportunity to expand my abilities in connecting with other cultures.
Calgary is an excellent city and the weather is really good (of course if you like cold weather). In general there are a lot of things to do, so you are not going to get bored. The accommodation was AMAZING; I loved my home stay family - they were the best. The whole time I felt like I was at home, but of course with a long distance.

The activities in the school were so good. That is the reason I wrote that it is weird or crazy if you get bored in Calgary with the activities that the schools provides for us.

What I really didn't like were the classes. I wasted my time in there, because in the beginning we lost a lot of time playing games instead of learning English. I complained a lot; because of my complaints, two months later the director of the school found a solution, which I didn't feel like was the best, but I tried again. In general, of course, I improved my English. I think it is better than before, but it could have been better. And the other problem that I had was that I spent almost 3 months in the same level, and when I asked to pass to another level, I was told that we have to wait for more students.

So, my conclusion is, the school is good with integration, sharing and activities, but the level in the school MUST improve and and it must become more interested in the progress of each student, by listening to what they need.

If the school does that, I think they would be better.

Best Regards.

Bye.

I liked so much of the time that I studied at Sol School. I never missed any class. I spent just 5 weeks there, but I think that I improved my English. For sure, I need to keep studying English, and I will. I don't have fluency in any areas yet: speaking, writing, listening and reading, but now I'm feeling more confident to start a dialogue in English.

I really enjoyed my time there, and my English had a big improvement. When I arrived at Canada I couldn't speak a whole sentence, I lost a flight in the way, but in the travel back I could even help people who were needing help!

Ok, I'm not the best to speak english, but I can talk and understand other people around the world, right now. (I spent just 3 weeks studying english)
I went to a Scout Event (do you know Moot?) in Québec, one month later. I made a lot of friends and I learned about many different new cultures using, obviously, this language.

I'm really grateful for visit Canada, was amazing! And the classes in SOL School too!

I have always thought I could have found something interesting in a new place. I have never been in Canada so I decided to stay for a month in Calgary, a beautiful modern city. Now I realize that something changed in my life: new friends, new place, new life! I was far from home (because I'm italian) but I really appreciated this chance to be there for a month. Unfortunately it was a short period but I am really happy for all the activities I could do. I had great teachers, I met lovely students from all over the world and I had amazing feelings. In a single word I would say "Awesome"!. I lived for a month in Bowness, in the city of Calgary. I was not too far from school and i had time to visit the city as well as Banff and Lake Louise. I had a wonderful time with friends during the activities: we played soccer, we ate chicken wings, we played pool, we went to Calgary Tower, we visited many different places and we did many other things. A lot of people asked me about this experience and the only answer i could give was "You have to go to Canada!". I love this country and I really hope to visit it again (maybe another city like Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver). It has been a pleasure for me to get in touch with everyone there!
