First of all, I have to say that I am very proud, happy to live in England. I had never lived in London before. when I came to London it seems like something happened in mind. it seemed a light turned on in the head. I am feeling very comfortable, for having to learn this amazing language which will open some doors for my future. I am 54 years old, and all my life I dreamed to be an English Teacher, I could not finalize my study because of that, because my country was devastated for war over 30 years and I had to left my study and get into the army. Afterward, I left the army and I emigrated to Portugal and then finally I arrived in London. I do not have words to describe how emotional, happy to be in this course. this is definitely where I have to be, and this is definitely the course I have to make without a doubt. amazing course, very well structured, the only thing I have to do is enjoy this stunning course. I truly believe this is the best course for me, definitely. thank you for Teachers involved in the preparation of this course. amazing job. I am sorry it was a bit longer in my thoughts about the course. Please give me the opportunity to overcome it.
