Why join?Let the connected students explain
• “I have met amazing people…”
• “I have improved my English through different activities, videos and pictures people share in the group.”
• “… nice thing is that there are a lot of teenagers here, we are not shy to speak with them…”
• “It’s an interesting way to learn not just with native speakers but with students from other countries.”
• “This group is very important for us to improve our English and thoughts because there are students and teachers from other countries. We talk to our new friends, we learn about their culture, form of education, regional dishes, etc. This group is like a rainbow, it has different colours to want to see. ”
