We often receive feedback from our students and we like to receive it. Below is a quick comment from Russian Pre-Intermediate student Elena, who’s been enjoying Magdala’s afternoon class:

“Hello!
My name is Elena. I have been living in Christchurch for 3 ½ years. In November 2010 a friend of mine invited me to come to Canterbury College, where she studied. I decided to try it too.
I have really liked the warm and friendly atmosphere in the college, and the friendly staff.
Very soon I was pleasantly surprised to find that my knowledge of English has increased significantly and became stronger. I’ve gained more confidence and I’m no longer too shy to speak.
I am sure that in the near future I will be able to find work and friends! “

“Здравствуйте!
Меня зовут Лена. Я живу в Крайстчёрче уже 3 с половиной года. В ноябре 2010г моя подруга предложила мне прийти в Кэнтербури Коллед, где она училась. Я решила попробовать.
Мне очень понравилась тёплая и дружеская обстановка в колледже, приветливый персонал.
Очень скоро я была приятно удивлена, что мои знания английского существенно возросли и окрепли. Я обрела большую уверенность и перестала стесняться говорить.
Уверена, что в скором будущем я смогу найти работу и друзей!”
