Amazing changes at Language in Group

We have two aims at Language in Group – making life easier for our agents and making the experience better for our students.

  • You may think that because our UK schools achieved perfect scores in their ISI inspections is enough.
  • You may think that being the first in the world to win the British Council prize for innovation in English teaching is enough.
  • You may think that offering your clients 100% money back Guarantee is enough.
  • You may think that having weekly feedback to make sure that everyone is happy all the time is enough.
  • You may think that having unique courses like Cultural Experience is enough.

This would be enough for most schools… but not Language in Group!

At Language in Group we don’t stop! We don’t stop listening to you. We don’t stop listening to our students. We don’t stop introducing changes that make your life easier and their experience better.

And that’s why we are redesigning our London, Totnes and Dublin schools to reach the standards of the top boutique hotels around the world.

Our designers have taken all the suggestions from agents and students to turn the classrooms into modern, bright and trendy meeting rooms powered by Apple technology and Ipads. The concept is that the learning environment should reflect the real world – the world where our students are comfortable and familiar.

We also wanted to introduce the WOW! Factor. And that’s why you will not find typical classroom furniture in our schools. We are asking our students (your clients) to spend a lot of money to come to study with us and in return we want them to feel that every penny is worth it.

language in group vitra chairOnly at Language in Group schools will you find Vitra furniture and Apple TV and Ipads. But as you know, we’re not just about “the look” – that’s why we are the market leaders in designing new courses.

We will be rolling out the design changes starting with Language in London (work completed by the end of June), before moving on to Language in Dublin and Language in Totnes.

Your clients will thank you for choosing our schools … and that will make your life easier!

For more information please contact our sales team. We don’t want you or your clients to miss out.

Our top 6 things to do when visiting London!

1- When you want to visit a museum in London you really should go to the Tate Modern if you are interested in Contemporary art. If you prefer classic painters like Van Gogh, Da Vinci instead I recommend you go to The National Gallery.

2- It is definitely worth seeing changing of the guards in front of the Buckingham Palace because it is the most famous and characteristic event in London.

3-Do you love Shopping?

London is the best place where you can find every kind of clothes! you have to go to Oxford street when you want to shop till you drop. you will find the famous shops but this street is very busy. If you prefer cheaper shops and crazy clothes you absolutely must watch the Camden Town market.

4- on a visit to London if the weather is nice you cannot miss a walk through London Parks, especially Holland Park or Hyde Park. There you can see colourful flowers or funny animals such as squirrels or swans, have a rest and eat your lunch.

5- If you would like to go out you should containly go to a blues bar, for example “ain’t nothing but…” in Soho. It is a nice place because there is live music every night and you can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. If you prefer disco music you really have to spend a night in one of the most famous clubs, the ministry of sound.

6-There are a lot of traditional dishes in London, but we absolutely recommend you try fish and chipsor jacket potatoes, which can be filled with special different fillings for example cheese, tuna, chilly con carne or baked beans.

My Internship in Ireland 10.02.2013 – 24.03.2013

“It’s nice to be nice ;-) !”

As I arrived in Dublin at the Airport I took the Air coach to the Bus stop and I wanted to find the way to my Irish mom on my own. I was looking in my map and suddenly a men came up to me and asked: “Are you lost?” I told him where I have to go and he gave me a lift. In my first hour in Dublin my expectations about the Irish folks became true. But that wasn’t all it went on like that. In the school and during all the activities everyone was really warm hearted and nice if there was a problem there has been at least one person that helped you to solve it. To name some of them first of all the wonderful Diane we had great craic together and it was never boring with here, the teachers Jennifer, Caroline, Geraldine, Greg, Georg really good teacher and they always had there ears up “no German please” !!! I won’t forget to mention the people in the office thanks for all your good advices they have been really helpful.

I would like to speak out a special thanks to Susan for arranging the work placement it has been a good place for me and I learned a lot. The staff, Management and most of all the clients have been a real asset to my life.

The second special thanks goes to the person (I don’t now who did it) that arranged my Guest home. It was wonderful, awesome and a pleasure for me to stay with Sheila. I would say through that I have got a Irish Mom ;-) !

Today I flew back and on my way I talked with an Irish men and he asked me if I could tell anything negative about Dublin or Ireland and to be honest I couldn’t. I told him the most important thing that I have learned in Dublin is:

It’s nice to be nice!!!!!

Would I do it again? I wouldn’t even thing about it twice I would just go!!!!!!

London expectations and realities….

I want to write what I expected before I come to London and what I think about London now.
I expected that here would be a lot of rain and cold weather. At the same time I thought about British people- that they have to be conservative and cold. I think that I am very lucky because I had here in London a lot of sunny days. The people here are so polite and nice.
I expected that here would be a lot of kinds of food and actually it is true, but I think that here is a lot of unhealthy kinds of meal.
I am spending a really good time here in London. I think, that this is not the last time I am here.
I wish to all students of LiL the same luck.

London impressions from Brazil

I come from Brazil and this is my first time in London. I am here for an English course and I am very happy with the school, my classmates, my teachers and with everything here.
I find London a beautiful city. You find here people from all over the world. That is fantastic! On Thursday we have a nice walk with Brittany in Camden Town. This is a part of the city where the tourist usually don’t go. That is the normal life in London! It was beautiful!
I think the best of London is the transportation system. you have a bus or a tube on your door. London is a very expensive city but a lot of interesting things are free.

“La Marato”

“La Marato de tv3” is a program of TV we do once a year in Catalonia. The program consists of fundraising money to research a disease; every year the disease change. The program runs all day. The people call to give money. The special thing of “La Marato” is that people organise fundraising in their cities or towns, for example: make dinners, put on a play, organise a football match between celebrities… Normally, “La Marato” Collects more than 8m €, that’s very good considering in Catalonia we are 6,5m of persons!

Saint Patrick’s day and Red Nose day!

I’ m Mauro and in the last week I went to see the parade of Saint Patrick’s Day. I went to the tube to Piccadilly Circus and I saw the parade. After that, I went to the Leicester square and I saw and listened to the typical band of Ireland, piping the typical music of Ireland! I liked that!!! All the people were dressed in something green and people had green hats with shamrock!!! All the pubs were busy and the people drank a lot of beer and sang!!!

Another important event was the Red Nose Day. I saw, in the metropolitan tube, many people that have the red noise…it was funny!!! In my country there isn’t a similar event, but there are other events for fundraising. The main national events is Telethon, that is a marathon of television where there are many famous people that have a show. They fundraise to research for the new care of some diseases. An other typical fundraiser in my country is cook some sweet things ( cake) and sell it.
