Cape Town -for me- A Cape of good memories

When I went to Cape Town I had a couple of exceptions how it should be.
And Kurus English exceeded all of them.
I went there to learn something about the culture, the people who living there ,Traditions and so on and not at least to improve my English.
In Kurus English we learned English while we having fun either with the teachers or other members of Kurus English, the people we visited on our excursions and the guys from coffee beans routes.
So it was very easy to improve our English in such a nice atmosphere and in such a nice country.
Also the language excursions in the afternoons were very helpful to learn to speak English and to understood the different kind of meanings a sentence can have in the right way.
At leaste i just can say thank you to Kurus English for helping to get self-confidence by speaking English !!

Great time in Cape Town! :)

Kurus English offered our group of 12 people an excellent time in Cape Town.

Additionally to great "indoor classes" where we dealed with grammar, skills and of course a lot of talking, they offered the opportunity to do language excursions, which means we could get in touch with a lot of South African people and we also saw almost "every side" of Cape Town. :)

The team was great, very welcoming and we could always come to them:)

So I definitely will recommend this school! And thank you, Kurus English, for this wonderful time!

Time of my Life

I spend two weeks in Cape Town and I have to say, that two weeks aren't enough to see everything. Before I came to Cape Town, I hated English as a subject in school, but when I visited the Kurus-English-school in Cape Town, this Feeling changed completly. I loved to speak and to talk in English. The teachers are very friendly and supported me to improve my English. The lessons are very interesting and the the school is very well organised! The language excursions gave opportunities to talk to native speakers, which helped me a lot to understand cultural and historical aspects of South Africa better. Thank you: Kurus English for this fantastic and awesome time in Cape Town. Hope, that I have the chance to come back! I really enjoyed the best time of my life in Cape Town! Thank You!

9 weeks at Kurus English

My experience at Kurus has been very fruitful considering my initial expectations. The quality of the teachers is high, the school is reliable. I stayed at the school 9 weeks and I've been able to improve my English in a very conducive learning environment thanks to the Kurus Team. The language excursions are a great complement to the language sessions themselves. If you're looking for a school to learn English in Cape Town, think about Kurus English!

2 weeks in Cape Town / at Kurus English

I highly recommend this language school! There are a lot of reasons, e.g. the teachers who really show their interest in helping and improving the students, which I really appreciate. And, which is also an important point - Kurus English does not only do English lessons inside but also "lessons" outside the classroom. We did a lot of amazing excursions where we were able to get to know the culture, the history and the people living here - and, of course - use the language.
I definitely would come back here and also recommend it to my friends.
Thank you for all these wonderful experiences!

Great school to learn properly English

I can really recommend this school with their super-cool way of teaching. This school focuses also on the culture of South Africa by combining interesting and new schooling techniques and offering language excursions in the afternoon, for example visiting a township, a drum workshop or a food tasting of typical South African taste.

Amazing time in Cape Town

During my two weeks stay at KURUS in Cape Town i had an amazing time. The family environment in the little school is wonderful. After ten minutes time in the school the ice is broken and you chat to everybody as you know each other for decades. The teacher, Gavin, is a lovely person who provides you all the time with information to improve all your english skills as well as your knowledge of South African history, culture and habits. Time flys when he is teaching you!
To be honest, i was deeply impressed and i can recommend this school to everybody who is interessted in adult education.
Thx a lot to KURUS
Daniele

Kurus English is a wonderful school for learning english. The teachers are great. They motivate you to speak english.
The connection with Coffeebean Routes is a really good idea. I learned a lot at the language excursions. About Cape Town and the people around.
I've been at Kurus English for two weeks. These two weeks were enough to fell in love with Cape Town. I'd like to go back any time.
Best wishes from Germany.
Kaya

Have you had fun at school? To improve English and have a great time, go and visit KURUS. The have got ambitious teachers who not only know about grammar and vocabluary but are interesting to talk to. What would you like more? Diana und Johannes really take care for a perfect organisation, so you don´t have to bother with looking for accomodation, transfer to airport and things like this. Instead you can find out more about a very vivid and beautiful city, Cape Town really is. Full of ideas, challenges, innovation, music, fashion. COFFEBEANS ROUTES will show you during the language excursions in the afternoon. I left a suitcase there. There is always a reason to improve English :-)
