Surrounding Area

  • The south coast of Devon is a great place to learn English. You will use your new language skills while you discover an area that is typically English, yet feels more like the south of France. It’s a great place to study, and a great place to enjoy your vacation: the perfect location for a language holiday.
    Torbay is really three towns: Paignton, Torquay and Brixham. They have a combined population of 135,000.
    Paignton is the holiday centre of the bay, with the longest beaches, one of the largest zoos in Britain and a really friendly atmosphere.
    Torquay is home to the grandest houses, smartest shops and trendiest night spots, so it is known as the ‘Queen of the Riviera’.
    Brixham is the smallest Riviera town and is one of Britain’s key fishing ports, with lovely coastal walks from its pretty harbour.

學校活動的問題??
Q: 想請問關於學校相關活動的問題，可以介紹一下學校活動嗎? A: 您好，感謝您的來訊息詢問，關於學校活動以下為您做個介紹。 德文郡的南部海岸是學習英語的好地方。您將使用新的語言技能，同時你會發現一個領域是典型的英國式的， 但給人的感覺更像法國南部。這是一個偉大的地方學習，和一個偉大的地方享受您的假期：一個語言度假的理想場所。 托貝真的是三鎮：佩恩頓，託基和布里克瑟姆。他們有13.5萬總人口。 佩恩頓是海灣的度假中心，最長的海灘，在英國和最大的動物園一個非常友好的氣氛中的一個。 託基是家裡最盛大的房子，最聰明的商店和時尚的夜生活場所，因此被稱為“里維埃拉女王”。 布里克瑟姆是最小的海濱小鎮，是英國的主要漁港之一，其美麗的海港美麗的海濱步道。

以前短期留学して、一時帰国後、また語学留学しに行ってきました！

トーベイはあまり一般的に知られてないかもしれないですが、
ビーチに程近いリゾートな街です＾＾
雰囲気が好きでここにしました。
授業もわかりやすく、丁寧に教えてくれるので
お勧めです。
リゾート街の雰囲気が出てるからか、治安も良いですし
のんびり過ごすことが出来ます！
ちょっとした観光地なのでお土産とかも売ってます＾＾

短暫的回到台灣後，我又去了國外留學，這次是出發去英國!!
一般來說，Torbay可能不是很出名，
這是靠近海灘的度假小鎮^ ^
我喜歡這裡的氣氛。
這課很容易理解，所以我會仔細的告訴你
建議。
因為度假小鎮的氣氛不存在，所以治安也好
我可以悠閒地度過！
我是賣紀念品的，因為它是一個小旅遊點^ ^
