Last Tuesday we had a pleasant surprise. Marielle, one of our AMEP students from last year came by to say hello. Our students couldn't believe how good her English was and in such a short period of time.

Listen to our informal chat to her about what she is doing at the moment, her future plans and how she got her English at the level it is now.

Thanks Marielle for taking the time and inspiring our class!
