studied General EnglishMovingOn
Mira. Según un reciente estudio, el 85% de los españoles no tiene ni idea de inglés. De ese porcentaje, el 100% miente a la hora de indicar su nivel de inglés en su C.V. Los más honestos, ponen inglés "nivel básico", vamos, se saben los colores, los números, "I am", "you are", algún "have gone", y poco más. Y luego están los más valientes, que en su C.V. ponen "nivel medio". Jajajajaja! Un cosita te quiero decir. No existe el "nivel medio" de inglés. O sabes, o no sabes. En mi caso yo tenía "nivel sudoroso". Si alguien me preguntaba algo en inglés, inmediatamente me ponía a sudar. Y digo "tenía", porque he estado 2 semanas en MovingOn Courses. La experiencia ha sido súper chula, el pueblo, Bangor, una maravilla, con las típicas casa inglesas que he estado viendo en series y películas toda mi vida. MovingOn es muy diferente. Todos los cursos que encontraba por internet consistían en ir a una especie de academia por las mañanas a dar clase, y poco más. Sin embargo, Moving On consistía en convivir en una especie de hostal con los propietarios (Gavin y Sonia) y con alumnos como yo. Todo el día hablando en inglés. Y allí estuve, conviviendo, comiendo, cenando,... en realidad, tengo que decir tuve mucha suerte, porque coincidí con una banda de compañeros, maravillosos, con los que me reí muchísimo. Alex, Sofía, Roberto, Isidoro y Mireia. Menuda banda

studied General EnglishEncantadísima
Recomiendo esta experiencia totalmente! Aprendes inglés a la vez que compartes con personas que te hacen sentir como en casa y que se preocupan no solo porque mejores tu nivel sino también porque estés bien y disfrutes tu estancia. Me parece que no lo pueden hacer mejor! Es la segunda vez que vengo y no descarto volver.

studied General EnglishExperiencia muy recomendable
He pasado unos días fantásticos totalmente en inglés con Gavin, Sonia y mis compañeros de curso. Las clases se daban por la mañana con dos profesores diferentes (una para gramática y otro para aplicar la gramática a la lengua oral) y por las tardes hacíamos excursiones con Sonia. Todas las comidas se hacían con los profesores por lo que cada comida era una nueva situación para aprender inglés.
La casa está muy bien situada en un pueblecito costero muy agradable y tranquilo, al que no le falta fiesta nocturna. Las habitaciones tienen baño y son cómodas, con cama grande, televisión, armario y mesa de estudio.
El ambiente es agradable y se fomenta la participación de todo el grupo. He estado solo una semana y he mejorado mi inglés bastante.
Muy muy recomendable.

studied Tailor made English coursesUne Expérience Inoubliable !
J'ai passé 2 semaines chez "MovingOn Courses" et, pour donner une rapide conclusion, je ne peux que recommander cette académie !
Tout d'abord, Gavin et Sonia sont, dès le départ, très chaleureux, accueillants et gentils : on se sent comme chez soi très rapidement. J'ai trouvé l'organisation des cours très efficace et complémentaire : le matin, nous sommes séparés en groupes de niveau et nous alternons avec deux professeurs : Olga et Brian, qui sont géniaux !
Ensuite, après avoir très bien mangé grâce au talent de Sonia, nous partons en excursion afin de mettre en pratique les cours du matin. C'est une façon plus ludique et plus concrète de pratiquer l'anglais.
Enfin, nous parlons 100% anglais du matin au soir : pendant les cours, les repas, les excursions et même plus ! Cela est très utile pour prendre confiance et gagner en fluidité.
Ce cours va au-delà d'un simple cours d'anglais : l'immersion est totale, on tisse des liens avec les professeurs et les autres membres du groupe, tout cela pour le bien de notre anglais, mais aussi pour vivre une expérience inoubliable !
Je recommande fortement, pour tous les niveaux !

studied Tailor made English coursesFull English immersion!!!
I most heartily recommend MovingOn Courses school!!! It's more than just a regular English school, it's simply an outstanding experience. I spent a week here looking to boost my speaking fluency. From the very beginning I was completely immersed in English and with wonderful, helpful people. Gavin and Sonia, the owners of the school and also of the house where the classes take place and where we sleep and eat delicious meals (all included in the course price!!!), are professional teachers and wonderful hosts. Apart from the very personalised and intimate classes with two other teachers, we get much more than we could expect. We talk to native speakers and other students all the time. We also work during very interesting afternoon excursions. I highly recommend it. Justyna P.S. and besides all this, Bangor is a lovely town!

studied Tailor made English coursesMoving On Course for a teacher
Soy profesora de inglés y buscaba una experiencia de inmersión para actualizarme. Contacté con diversas empresas de cursos en el extranjero tradicionales y ninguna me convencía, hasta que encontré la opción de Moving On Courses.
La experiencia no ha podido ser mejor! No es un curso de inglés convencional ni una estancia con el profesor. Es una combinación de varias cosas. Recibes clases, participas en la vida de la casa, compartes tiempo, actividades y conversación con los lugareños, visitas el entorno (que, por cierto es precioso) y sientes que estás realmente inmerso en el idioma y la cultura.
En mi opinión, es la combinación perfecta: por la mañana aprendes dentro de la clase y el resto del día pones en práctica lo que has aprendido, con personas nativas y en situaciones reales, a la hora de comer, en el pub, en el coche, en la tienda... Con este formato no puedes desconectar ni puedes tener una actitud pasiva, y esa es la mejor forma de aprender, sin duda.
Si tuviera que buscar un curso de inglés para mis hijos, los traería a Moving On Courses.
Aparte del curso, la estancia es muy agradable por el entorno, por Gavin y Sonia que te hacen sentir como uno más de la familia y por la comida que es excelente!
Yo he estado dos semanas pero me habría gustado quedarme más!!

studied General EnglishA wonderful experience
I have spent a week at Movingoncourses studying English and it has been a wonderful experience.
Sonia and Gavin have been lovely and welcomed me as part of their family.
The English classes have been very enjoyable and productive.
The house is very close to different services and commercial areas. But I recommend that you try Sonia's food. She is an amazing chef
This experience has been a discovery and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn or refresh their English. The Movingoncourse team makes you feel at home. It is something that I will repeat again because one week has done little for me.
Thank you very much for everything guys!

studied English Teacher TrainingMy experience
I was one week in Movingon course. My experience was very nice. First, I felt it was a small family. The House Is very quiét and it is to important for learnt English. The method that they use to teach is very different in compere primary School and High school system. The most importan things is to practics in a real situacions, they explain grammar during this situations and then also to speaking and listenning. They have a lot interesting trip where we learnt a new vocabulary and expresions.
The food is tasty. All days, they offered variety of foods and differents flavour. The last night, they prepare a specially dinner, it is very nice. My mistake was to reserve Only one week but may be come back the next year.

studied General EnglishMovingOn Course Bangor
I attended MovingOn Courses between October and November 2023. It was a useful course because you live in the same house as your teachers, have all your meals with them, and participate in all activities with them. The small class sizes (a maximum of 4, in my case only 2 people) provide more opportunities to speak and ask questions during lessons. The MovingOn Courses is a truly immersive 100% English program all day long (Gavin is very strict about this, but it's what all students want). The atmosphere at the guesthouse is enjoyable, particularly because the course is dedicated to adult students. Sonia is an enthusiastic teacher and also a good chef (which is very important!!).
Bangor is a pleasant place for studying and learning English. I hope to come back someday. I highly recommend it.
