I am very happy with all the services provided for the school. They have a well prepared staff with excellent strategies to teach and make you feel the best experience learning the new language. they provide comfortable facilities with all the materials needed.
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 thank all the staff of LAL School for my language stay in Cape Town. Teachers are very good and school facilities such as internet connection, activities and the food are satisfactory.
I’d like to take this time to say something about the time I spent in Cape Town, especially the accommodation. Even if my host family is away from here by walking, Ms Bev Lucraft and her mother are friendly and they did everything they could to look after me. I recommend to the LAL to choose that host family to the others students because it is a good stay.
Teachers are good at English and they gave me all English I’m looking for and other facilities to succeed. I’ll recommend other students to take part in LAL.
I enjoyed my stay, I learned many cultures, to talk to many students from different nations, besides just studying English. It’s a good experience.
With all safety measures in place, we can’t wait to have you back!
