English Language

I’m studying a general English course at Kirklees College, and I think I’m learning really quickly. The teachers are great and I always work with different students, which helps me improve my conversation skills. I have many friends in class from all over the world; Poland, Pakistan, Iraq, and many other countries. The classes are mixed so I am learning a lot about other cultures too.

I’m enjoying studying here because I’m learning new things every day. I’m not only learning things about the English Language, but how to be a good student and how to study effectively. This is important to me because I hope to go to university next year.

I want to recommend this college to other students, because if they come they will definitely have a good time and a good learning experience in a great learning environment.
