“The ELC held so many activities. It helped for me to make friends easily. I met lovely friends and we could improve our English skills together.”

What's it like living in Victoria?

In Victoria I could meet awesome people. I was surprised that they were so kind and friendly. When I met people they always greeted with smiles. It made me happy. I'm sure that Victoria has the kindest and friendliest culture in the world!
