Meetings in English with new confidence....

Serge Le Gall came to Heritage English for one week to improve his English for international team meetings.  He begins work on a huge energy research project involving the co-operation of at least seven countries including US, Korea, Japan, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Working for his engineering company to create the headquarters for the research work, he will need to speak in many situations with a range of teams who are involved in the joint venture.

This is what he said about his training: 

"I've enjoyed the host family welcome, the hospitality and the chance to meet people.
 The lessons were tailormade and that is what I enjoyed most.

I wanted to be more confident when I have to speak English and now I feel more able to give an opinion.  I hope to use the language learned in my future job in a new project.

My advice if you come is to forget your job while you are here; think only about the English language and the lessons."

Thank you Serge.  We look forward to your second visit later in the year.

"It's a Miracle"

Hello,   My name is Thierry and I come from Paris.  

I work in the Events Management market and I created my own company "Less is MORE" 18 months ago.

I decided to work abroad, especially in the emerging countries and as I hadn't spoken English for nearly 30 years I decided to take a few lessons in Paris and then do an immersion course in the UK.

Can you imagine that in the beginning of the week I had a pre-intermediate level and then a few days later I was able to deliver you this message!  

It's a miracle ... and of course it is the talent of Gail and Celia!

Heritage English helped me to get confidence in myself and in the lessons, my teachers helped me to make an oral presentation of myself and my company in English.

Lymington is a very nice area in the New Forest - between the sea and the forest - with welcoming people.

If I am able to do this successfully, I am sure that you can do it too!
