Angloville review

I did three separate programs on Angloville between December and July. Each one was fairly different in terms of venue, group sizes and atmosphere but each was a rewarding experience. Angloville is a program I would recommend for someone looking to volunteer abroad, especially those who love meeting people from other countries and cultures. With that said, it is a challenge - participants are expected to mentor English learners, some with lower levels than others, and by the end of the week help them improve their confidence in speaking English. The days can be long and sometimes the learning materials provided can stump you. This, combined with the fact you are staying at a small hotel in a remote area of a foreign country, can be a bit jarring in the beginning. However, there is a jovial atmosphere on the programs, and every evening a chance to unwind with the other English speakers as well as the natives. By the end of the week, you should feel that it was worth it, and hopefully have made a few friends. I hope to be back in the near future.
