In my country of Korea, students start to learn English very early, but most students do not use the language enough and I realized that I needed to really study English harder for my university classes. After just 3 months here, I have met good teachers and friends and the weather is great. My English skill has improved because I could only say simple greetings and words when I first arrived. I learned a lot of skills in the month long TOEIC course, especially grammar and I got a high score on the exam. I have enjoyed my classes and my time here at LAL very much.
