LAL London is a beautiful English Language school. Firstly, it’s located in a good area where there are amenities and activities. You can spend a wonderful day around the area. The school has a group of great staff, excellent teachers. They are professional and very nice with all of us. The institute organises excellent student activities every day, which helps to create a nice atmosphere with the students. I would definitely recommend LAL to my friends to learn English and to spend a fabulous time here.
I couldn’t be more glad to have been studying here in LAL London for the past 3 months. Firstly, because London is my favourite place in the world, and because LAL is my favourite English school – and that’s why it’s my third time here! The lessons are amazing. I’ve learned so much with my teacher James and all my classmates. And more than grammar, I can understand more about people and cultures. Each class is an adventure that takes us to different subjects, cultures, worlds. In each class we share a little bit of us, and that’s what makes this experience so fantastic.
Studying in this charming town of Twickenham, I have learnt to be more confident as an English student and as a person.This is the most important experience of my life. Thank you, LAL, for being part of it!
It was an amazing trip in LAL School. Course and lessons 10/10. Teacher Casey was a very good teacher. Accommodation – Thank you for cleaning all day!
I have been here for almost six months and it was the best experience of my life, because I’ve met a lot of people and from different countries. They are very friendly and lovely, not just the students but the staff and teachers as well.
I want to improve my English that’s why I’ve been staying for one month at LAL. It was a good experience because I met people from different countries, new friends and I can practice English everyday.
Cape Town is a lovely place, I really enjoy it. The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool. The staff in the school is also sociable. Concerning my accommodation, I like it, my room is clean and has enough space even I shared it.
LAL London is an informative place where everything is awesome. I have learnt a lot here. I met Dan, who is my teacher. He is very professional. He’s like an actor, a good performer. I can always concentrate with him. Sometimes I think I might get distracted from my studies but he helps me focus every time. In the end, I wanna say I like LAL and it has given me a wonderful experience.
With all safety measures in place, we can’t wait to have you back!
