BAMBOU DIJAN, student at Language Studies International in Auckland

Bambou Dijan, from France, studied with Language Studies International in Auckland on an Intensive programme for 8 months. Here is her testimonial:

To sum up my experience: It was almost perfect. My arrival transfer was on time. My homestay was really nice and friendly. Thanks to these two first months in my homestay I could improve my English considerably. After that I spent 6 months in City Lodge. I really enjoyed this accommodation because it is easy to meet people and make friends there. I met unforgettable people and did wonderful trips through NZ's North Island. I won’t forget this experience. The course at LSI was really effective as it really helped me to improve my English and to think in English. It also prepared me to sit my IELTS exam - I sat it July 10th. I am going home to University and to prepare for my exams.

“My time at Freyberg High School was a really good experience which I enjoyed. To study and try new subjects that we don’t have in my country was great! The people here at Freyberg are really kind and it was nice to meet and talk with them. Thanks for this lovely time.”

“It is great for us to understand this stuff and gain this great experience. I am happy that we are here, this is great to have on our CV. Katie at Think Recruit helped so much. She helped me to reformulate my CV and understand the difference between the New Zealand and Brazil work culture."

Julia (Heretaunga High School exchange student from Germany)

During my exchange year at Heretaunga College in Upper Hutt I joined the Hutt Valley Orchestra and the Wellington City Concert Band.

These two motivated ensembles both welcomed me as a new musician. The rehearsals are fun and it's a good opportunity to keep up my music skills and meet new people with the same interest.
