Ha hosszabb ideig tartózkodik valaki Londonban, ezernyi nyelviskolába beiratkozhat tanulni.
Nos, állítólag léteznek ingyenes nyelviskolák, de megszűnőben a műfaj.
Az egyetemeken kívül is rengeteg suli létezik.
Az Oxford Streeten például egymást érik, de ezeknek nagyon rossz hírük van. Állítólag nem túl jók, és bár elképesztően olcsók, előre fel kell iratkozni, ráadásul érkezési sorrendben lehet beülni az órákra, szóval eléggé akotikusan működik.
A legtöbb nyelviskolában (fizetés terhe mellett) nyelvvizsgát is lehet tenni.
Ha munkát akarunk vállalni, ennek nincs igazán jelentősége...
Én több iskolát kipróbáltam már, szerintem nagyon fontos (és hasznos), ha a kinti munka mellett tanul is az ember.
Az alábbi teszteket ott kaptam. Sok információval szolgáltatnak Angliáról és az angolokról:
The city of London has existed for almost 2 000 years. Romans built the small town of "Londinium" in about AD 47, shortly after they invaded Britain.
The British parliament building is in the centre of London, by the river Thames. The famous Big Ben clock tower is part of the building.
With an area of more than 1 500 square kilometres and about eight million people, London is one of the biggest cities in Europe.
London's underground train system is the oldest in the world, and probably has the most famous map. There are eleven different lines, and 268 stations.
In 2012, London is going to host the Olympic Games for the third time. The other times were in 1908 and 1948. No other city has hosted the event more than twice.
London is perhaps the most cosmopolitan city in the world. Almost 2,3 million of the city's people were born abroad, and Londoners speak a total of more than 300 different languages.
London has five international airports. The biggest, Heathrow, which is about 25 km west of the city centre, now has five terminals and is one of the busiest airports in the world.
London is a good place if you like pubs, as there are about 3 800 of them. However, many of them close at 11 pm, so is isn't always easy to find a public place to socialise after that time.
There are more than a hundred parks in London, including two very big ones, Hyde Park and Regent's Park, in the middle of the city.
The West End of London has a huge number of shops. It contains Europe's busiest shopping street, Oxford Street, and also one of the world's most famous department stores, Harrods.
