Hello,

I like this school, and would like to try it, but my English is not really good and I'm unsure how important is that.
I have no problem understanding English text though... So how will that affect my progress? For example will my English (active/spoken) vocabulary - which is kinda weak - limit my effectiveness?

by reading your statement..it doesn't look like your english is weak at all. You don't need super english skills for this course (english is my 2nd language). Just go ahead and give it a shot

This is one of the most common concerns from students all around the world.

If you can understand written instructions in English you can do this training. We've got students with bad English from all around the world and they do great anyway.

I actually believe there's an advantage to be doing this in a language that is not yours.

One of the aspects of the course is the ability to memorize unfamiliar information. If you are doing lessons in a language that is less familiar this gets your brain to think had. so you will master memorization of unfamiliar information better than the English guys and girls.

So rather than limit your effectiveness, you can consider it an advantage.


I should know, English is not my first language either; although I must admit I've got great English laugh.gif

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
Regarding all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself Providence moves too. All things occur to one that would never otherwise have occured. a stream of events issue from the decision raising in one's favour all manner of unforseen incidents, meeting and material assistance which no man would have dreamed would have come his way.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can begin it!
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it, begin it now!
