Well this is a nice Forum. I'm gonna tell you my story
After i got my degree as an Industria Engineer in Bogota in april 2005, i started to look for a place to improve my english skills, i looked in Australia, USA, UK, etc. Those places offered nice english programs for foreigners but at a very high cost. I was really frustrated, but i remembered that i had a friend in Kingston Jamaica, and i called her to see if it was possible to study english there.
She told me that there was an specialized institute that teaches english to foreigners, so she not only helped me to enter that school but she offered me to stay with her and her family for almost 8 months without paying her any rent, food or laundry!!! So i am studing english in Kingston right now, i am here since the 25th of July and i am planing to go babk to Bogota by the 2nd of March 2006.
I didnt expeted that Jamaica was a place to study english, but actually lots of japaneese, russians, chineese, panamenians, etc. are studing here. It was a total surprise for me.
I've had a very good luck, i am looking forward to my going back to Bogota in order to do the TOEFL exam and, after that, start to look for a job. I hope everything will be all right.
If you want to know more about learning english in Jamaica, i can give you some extra info.
