Whilst learning English in the UK you have the huge advantage of being surrounded by the language. Your learning won’t stop when your lessons do.

You’ll hear English being spoken on the streets, when you go sightseeing, and, if you’re coming to the UK to study English for the summer, there’s a good chance that English will be the only common language between you and all the new friends you’ve made.
