My favourite thing about my stay is that I actually learnt new things, and now I'm much more confident when speaking English. Being away from my parents has somehow forced me to consider that I am more mature after this experience.

I like a lot this experience because everyone is so kind. The host family was very good and I hope that other new students will have it. I liked all the activities because I've known a new country and culture.

"This 'Hello! Exmouth' local business run by a very professional and friendly company of people has gone from strength. In the last 5 years, not only for providing employment for office staff, more than 20 teachers, 10 activity leaders and numerous hosts but by promoting Exmouth all over Europe as the truly amazing town that is is, and bringing thousands of foreign students to our town, boosting our economy. Hello! Exmouth are fine ambassadors for the town of Exmouth and are very deserving of a nomination for Exmouth business awards."
