"I was a bit worried to come to Australia to study because of the language. The first few days at school in fact were very difficult. With great help from all the teachers, which made themselves available at all times during the day, I found my way through very quickly. My English improved as well and I now enjoy my studies at TAFE very much. I'm really enjoying my stay in Australia because it's a beautiful country and the people are open and friendly."
