Students in our Advanced class have been talking about linking devices recently with Andrew, their morning teacher. Linking devices are very important as they connect sentences and ideas. There are so many of them! Here are some examples from the coursebook the group is using: by the time, meanwhile, even though, furthermore, because of, since, therefore, if, otherwise, and more. Which linking devices do you use? Do you know others which have the same or similar meanings (for example, and/furthermore? Share them with us in the comments! 😀 #celtcardiff #LearnEnglish #English #englishlanguage #learnenglishinwales #languagelearning #englishlessons

Our Students Become Our Family

There are many great reasons to pick CELT for your English language study and our students seem to agree.

Studying abroad is hard for the majority of people. You need to find the right place with friendly people. These things and much more I found at CELT, a cute small school which is situated in the fairytale city of Cardiff. The school welcomed me with open arms with teachers who focused on my weaknesses. My stay here has given me support and confidence in using English, and I can recommend CELT 100%!

I’ve been in the UK for almost 3 years and I have studied in many English language schools. Therefore, from my experience, I can say that CELT school is the best school I’ve ever attended. The teachers are experts in providing the students with the right information depending on the student’s level. They encouraged me to practice more and never give up learning English.

I’m Jaime from Spain, I spent 4 weeks in CELT school and I was living at CELT residence. I enjoyed it a lot. It was a good experience for to know about other countries, other cultures, and the most important, learn a lot of English. It was a wonderful month for me. I would like to repeat it next year.

I am Andrea and I am from Italy. I really enjoyed the time I spent here at CELT. I had interesting lessons and I met many different guys from different countries. I really recommend this school to others!
