Learning a language at GIL has provided me with an extremely gratifying experience. Thanks to the tremendous support and individualised instructions I've received, I'm becoming steadily more confident and comfortable in speaking, reading and writing Chinese. My teachers have provided me with insight, flexibility and guidance and as a result I'm thoroughly enjoying my studies here
GIL was really beneficial to me as it provided extensive, useful resources and well-structured projects that made it easy to learn French. I had a wonderful lecturer who not only dedicated so much time and effort to improve our French, but also gave an unbelievable amount of support, encouragement and advice that particularly helped me. The face-to-face lectures were a highlight, enabling me to practice French with native speakers and gain new ideas and perspectives from people all over the state, which I believe is incredibly important for extension courses
Thanks you Ghana Institute of languages for this experience, my professional and personal horizons have grown.I’ve learned a lot of new things, learned new customs, met a lot of new people, and most importantly improved my English.
