I am very grateful to the California school. This school gave me a lot of useful knowledge. Many thanks to my teachers Miss Susan, very intresting speaking Class. Rory, Shuan, Dr.Mo and special thanks to the pronunciation teacher, please forgive me, I forgot his name, but I am very grateful to him for his patience and persistence in getting good pronunciation. I learned to pronounce words correctly and grammatically and follow the pace, many thanks to the whole team, the girl from the administration.
Very convenient location, comfortable conditions in the California school itself, textbooks, attention of the staff. I liked everything.
