“Speaking program helped me to make new friendships in the time when I moved to the UK and didn't know anyone. It helped me a lot with building confidence when speaking. It's really important to have someone you can share with, someone who is in the same situation, dealing with the same problems, as a community we can help each other and share our experiences.”

“I love how after finishing your 10-week speaking program at Cambridge English Language Society you can enter a second level with them by becoming part of  the Professional Group, where you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge by doing creative case studies (like debates, workshop organization, website redesign, etc.). It is a great and entertaining way to apply your knowledge practically.”

“When I started the Cambridge English Language Society speaking program I could speak English but not enough for my career to get a better job. Thanks to this course in a year I passed the interview with the company which collaborates with Russia and now I am part of the Travel Tour Destination Agency. I am very happy as I can speak my native language along with English."
