It was a unique experience to improve my English in such a charming costal town. The English teachers at school were very friendly and were happy to help me with any individual questions. As I was staying in a host family, I was also able to practice my English in everyday situations. In my free time I liked to visit the surrounding towns. In addition, I really enjoyed taking part in the social activities organised by the college together with my new friends. They were always great fun!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We loved welcoming Nadin to Broadstairs and wish her every success and good luck as she continues her English language learning journey and looks ahead to an exciting future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nadin on a coastal walk by the White Cliffs of Dover in Kent, England.
