Studying STS International

When studying International instead of Classic you force yourself to use English more, since your classmates, most likely, will be unfamiliar with your mothertounge. It's challenging, of course, since it's not only about trying to make yourself understood. It's also about trying to understand someone who's learned English in another part of the world and maybe speaks with a different accent. Maybe you're curious about what nationalities you might come across in Brighton and among those going the same dates as we are (14 July - 3 Aug), are students from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France and China. You will probably run into people from other countries as well, since Brighton is a very popular destination for people who wants to study English.
Even those of you taking the STS Classic course will meet students from all around the world. At acitivities like the STS discos, try to make friends with people from other countries. Mostly, because they are probably wonderful people, but also because it will improve your English more than you might think.
If you want to have a sneak peak on people from Sweden, Denmark and Finland going to Brighton with STS this summer, there are Facebook groups or events where they gather before and after the trip. Just follow these links and feel free to join if your going to Brighton with us:
