English Course

Several weeks ago, there were some "disturbing" pop-ups advertisements from an english institution. They offered ielts course with "not too expensive" cost, compared to other ielts courses in Jakarta. They are so clever, providing something that I need, based on what I search on internet in current time.

Then, I registered to this course with my sister. I took intensive Ielts course that only focusing on speaking and writing. Frankly, when I think about it, it wasn't really cheap, because we only had 3 exams (pre, mid, and post), 2 meetings for speaking program, and 6 meetings for writing program. All meetings are held in saturday and sunday. 1 meeting is about 4 hours. That's a quite short course, right? But I'm satisfied with the course. I got another ielts course last year that costs about Rp5m (my office paid for that), so more or less I knew what ielts is. Then I took official ielts test in Sept 2018, and the result was horrible. I only got 5 on speaking and 6 on writing. Both listening and reading were 6.5. Damn. 😑 That's why I took this course.

The course started from 12 July - 17 Aug, as you can see the schedule below.

It might be short, but I can assure you that it is worth. For speaking program, I was taught by native speaker who gave me very useful advices to improve my speaking. He was truly honest by saying that I need huge effort to speak fluently. Sadly it was only 2 sessions ☹️.

In my next journal, I'll tell you about another speaking course that I really want to take. I wish I do. But it's a hard decision because of its price.. 😭 haha.. poor me..
