Go to british council, never go to cambrigde! All my fren who went to Cambridge r always come back wit nothing learnt!

British council is better, the cambridge's salemen is totally sux,

They call my fren...

Cambridge:"Hello, Cambridge Languge center here, R u having any english course now?"
Fren:"No, but I think i still can cope with it."
Cambridge:"Hav u been think of taking any english lesson?"
fren:"Erm, nope, as i said, I still can cope with it."
Cambridge:"U think ur english very good izit? Y so proud of urself?"
Fren:"...."

Then end .......

So impolite! People dun1 ten dun1 lah, y want force people...still ask people:"u think ur english very good?"....-.-"

N they did call me too after my fren case, so when they say they r cambridge, i just say no thanks bye....

Within British council, Cambridge, Erican, British Council has the highest reputation....

oh...then u mean their english better??i mean the standard! different areas have different kind of the ways they approach ppl la...n oh ya,y they called u??how they get ur friends num and urs? mine is i go to the center and register myself then take a test there to determine which standard i m in!!the teacher is frm UK itself!and the fees damn expensive!!

Yeah Cambridge no good , my sister paid them the fees but never improve his english as well , i think British Council is more good than Cambridge .

LOL, "never improved HER english" u mean. U need english course too

is it true that if i get the 4th level or 4th cert or watever la.....then i can go overseas d??no need take TOEFL or IELTS?? almost all Uni accept the Cambridge cert?

I had joined both British Council and Cambridge, british council really ftw. Cambridge is not that professional, lousy part time teachers, while teachers in the British council are really pro, and are came from all kind of different countries lol.

my area the Cambridge center got only 1 teacher!! he open the center himself...and he`s from UK if i m not wrong!Quite young and handsome!!hahaha..n i never heard him talking b4 because that day when i went there,he wasnt there!so i just took the test and went home! anyone noe the cost for 1 month??and btw,Cambridge center got part time teacher??from where ?the center very big??

i studied University of Cambridge's ESOL (English For Speakers of Other Language) at a centre in penang. have 3 certs d - PET(preliminary english test), FCE(first cert in english) & CAE(cert in advance english). The teacher here is kinda experieced actually, as he has been teaching the syllabi since before british council was even established in msia. btw, the centre is called BELL (Benny English Language Laboratory).

how`s the process??we at 1st need to take a test to see which standard we r ..rite??then only begin the lessons??

If I were your friend, I would ask the phonist to go f*** himself. I would, just that they have not called me.

i wonder y and how they can called u?? they don have u or ur friends num. also.....?!?

juz for asking, y people go to these kind of British council, Cambridge or watever? izzit to learn the language juz for the sake to improve ourselves or some as a requirement to further their studies?

is it the A-level ?

nope..the English course....they said if we got this cert..we don have to take TOEFL or IELTS if we wanna go overseas to study!!

ic,so it is mainly for overseas studies i guess.

in the past, british council utilises this process. but recent few years...they've changed their sytem to seeing which level are u at in secondary/primary school...this is wat happened to the penang branch...
The centre I went organizes their classes according to our levels in school too..like if ur Form1-form3, you'll be taking PET..Form4 for FCE and Form5 for CAE...

different people go for different reasons...most of us at the centre i attended wanted to get the qualification..meaning getting the cert offered my cambridge..and by this we strived hard in studyin and learning..as a result..our english improves..and we learned skills needed in a university and also when we're working in future...
ppl normally take IELTS as a requirement to further their studies...

my sis jus back from uk for summer holz... and she plan to take her english course at here... so izzit sure british council is better than cambridge?? cuz she tend to go for cambridge when i asked her...

Good Evening all,I would like to ask several question,I am 17 years old.And I am wondering is that British Council better than Cambridge?Furthermore,I am going to overseas after learning english.
