High School Abroad, Summer camps, and Study abroad opportunities with Nacel.

Here is Ababacar's testimonial. Ababacar, a young 26 years old French student, is currently participating in the Work and Study program in Canada. The Work and Study program in Canada allows students to learn English in a carefully selected language school in Vancouver, and then to get some professional experience by working in a Canadian resort. The Work and Study program is a 6 or 12 months program, and includes 6 or 12 weeks of in school language study, plus evening classes.  This is the perfect program for anyone wishing to discover Canada, but also wanting to get real work field experience! When we interviewed Ababacar, he was beginning his Work and Study program in Canada, and was still attending courses in the language school in Vancouver!

• Ababacar, would you agree to answer a few questions about your program? It is with a great pleasure that I agree to participate to your interview. The school is cool, people are cool, the family is more or less cool, and I'm living with a Brazilian. This is a really great town, I'm having a crush! 
  
  
• Why did you choose to participate at this type of program (work and study)? Why did you want to improve your English? What were your objectives before departure? I would lie if I'd say I have chosen this program only for the courses. I choose it because it would allow me to get money in addition to the courses. Regarding my objectives, before leaving France I wanted to do a theater school. I really want to be an actor, and now I want to stay in Canada to keep on studying there. 
  
  
• Speak about the school! Courses are good. You are feeling at your ease upon your arrival, even if you're shy. There are people from all over the world, a lot of Brazilians. Teachers are great, sometimes they speak quickly, but one, which I consider the best: Mr Hyde, I really want people to know he is the best, I succeed in understanding all the things he says, and I'm not the only one! Nothing to say about the school's location, it is in the heart of the city, many shops. Courses are not boring! Why? There are a lot of breaks, and during these breaks you keep on learning since you speak English!

Since I was very young I have always wanted to study at the university abroad, to achieve that, since years ago I began to study a lot of English in an academy. Thanks to the fact that I am now doing an international baccalaureate program, I know that later I will be able to apply to a Canadian, American, Australian or any other university in another country, after finishing the baccalaureate. I have a fixed goal and that's why I'm studying hard to get good grades. The international baccalaureate is very different from the "normal" baccalaureate. I feel that teachers are much more interested in our real opinions than in giving more interest to us reciting everything by heart. I'm really enjoying my stay here and I think the school year will pass very quickly. 

The following is a testimonial from one of our students in our educational travel program in the United Kingdom.  

First, I would like to review the service provided by my agency - D&D team, which was on a very high level, hence I was really satisfied from that. They provided me with good information, what to do and how to handle myself there. Regarding Brockenhurst college - I was absolutely surprised about it, in a positive way. The school was completely different like schools in my country, in every single aspect. School food, facilities, service for international students by International Department was provided very professionally, and mostly - the school teaching. Lessons there were pretty interesting, based on equal relationships between exchange students and English speaking students, moreover between teachers and students.I have learned a lot of new things, which I will definitely use in a future. The third important point was my host family. Sandra and Peter Fairbank. They were really nice and kind and I had very good relationship with them. We could speak about anything and they were there for me when I needed some help. I was really satisfied with the family and I will never forget them. To sum up, I would rate my staying absolutely positive, I enjoyed it there and met lots of new friends.I would strongly recommend this exchange to everyone. Juraj H.
