A Saudi junior student's day in Clark

Parents ask two things: how many lessons a day, and what my child does after class. Abdullah Al-anazi, a junior student from Saudi Arabia, spent about two months on Talk 4 Hybrid J. His own description of the course answers both.

"I joined Talk Academy about two months ago and studied the Talk 4 Hybrid J course. It consists of 4 individual classes and 2 group classes."

Four one-to-one, two in a group

That is the practical difference between our junior programmes. Talk 4 Hybrid J gives four lessons a day face to face with a teacher plus two in a group; Talk 6 Hybrid J raises the one-to-one lessons to six. Choosing between them is not about which is better but about how many hours a younger student can take in a day.

The one-to-one lessons are what force a student to speak; the group lessons are what make him speak with others in the room. Both are needed, and the ratio is the thing you choose.

The teachers

"I benefited from highly professional teachers, and I really enjoyed the institute."

And once lessons finish

"There are many cafés, restaurants and entertainment activities around the institute."

That sentence matters more than it looks to a family deciding whether to send a child. Clark is a planned zone with malls, restaurants and game centres a short ride away, so the hours after class are not spent inside four walls.

Wanting to come back

"God willing, I will come back to the institute again."

In a junior review that is the most honest signal there is. A child does not say it to be polite: if he says he will come back, he actually had a good time.
