One of the best things about studying at GV must be the all the different students. Esther Buehrer has joined us recently and has adjusted to a student’s life quickly. She has a wonderful outlook on life and makes the best of things. This is what Esther has to say about her experience.

I have always had an interest in languages so when I retired after working for 50 years I decided to travel and to study English at the same time. It has been one of the best things I have done. Many of my friends and acquaintances back home were surprised with my decision to travel alone but it is the best way to do something new!

It’s great here and my host family is wonderful. I feel young again being a student and even accompany the other students on outings. I went to The Australia Zoo with them which was interesting.

One of my highlights here was when I realised that my grammar is improving!

In the future I hope to do something similar again, perhaps I will go to South America next.
