    I got a tremendous push to learn more.

    Spring English School MLA Duke of York's — language school in the UK

    Organization Travelclass.org gave me the unique opportunity to visit London. To fulfill my long-held dream. I fully immersed myself in the language environment, studying with teachers at the Colindale campus, visiting the famous sights of London and just walking the streets of the city, talking with native speakers. I got a huge boost to further study my favorite English language. Many thanks to Kirill Khripunov for this opportunity!!!
