Dear Languages International Team,

The time in New Zealand was the time of my life, you did a great job teaching us students and with success, I passed the CAE! I really enjoyed the time at your school and I wish I could come back, even if it were for only a few days.

Especially on the day of the earthquake and the following ones, we were so thankful for the support we got from all of you. It was really important for all of us that you took care and gave us the impression,that everything will be okay. It gave me a feeling of safety in a really bad situation in a foreign country without any place to go. Thanks for supporting us during the good and the bad times!

The time I had in New Zealand, Christchurch and Languages International was the best I had, it is a wonderful memory which I never will forget. It is my second home and it will always be a part of my life, sticking in my heart.

Thanks for all you have done for us! Stay strong Christchurch

Hope to come back soon

Best wishes

Deborah Wüst
