“I’ve been here for two weeks and I’m having a great time and learning a lot about the British culture and speaking a lot of English with my new friends. Here in Bucksmore we meet people from all over the world and learn about their culture. Our teachers here are the best. It doesn’t even seem that we are having classes, because we really have a great time.”
