 I was studying at GEOS for 9 months. Before I came to New York I didn't speak English at all, so I started as a beginner in Level 1. But I made friends from different countries and I was able to understand them after a while. We could laugh about the same things. I learned a lot about other countries and cultures, and I was really impressed and interested at the same time. I actually realized studying English is fun! I really enjoyed my time at GEOS and made a lot of friends. Finally, guess in which level I finished my course? In level 5! ~ Keina (JAPAN)
