I wanted to improve my English during my holidays in Singapore, and the British Council is said to be the best place to do so. The British Council integrated me in an environment where English is the only way to communicate and all the other students work on their accent too. I have learnt a lot of vocabulary and my speaking skill is way better than when I just arrived.
