I am so glad that I attended the Inter-Link Language Centre. I enjoyed and benefited from the educational and cultural program. It gave me the knowledge and confidence that I needed to succeed in studying in the Malaysia and adjust to living here. The program helped me to improve my English, so I was ready for the college program that I was going to attend in the Malaysia. I also learned a lot about the Malaysia culture which prepared me to live with my Malaysia host family. The teachers and staff gave me a lot of encouragement and support to make this big transition. Thank you ILC!
