This afternoon we learnt a bit about Aboriginal Australian culture at the Boomerang Painting activity.
The students channeled their artistic sides and created some great boomerangs, painting Australian animals and using traditional Aboriginal symbols and dot-painting styles.
Every boomerang was as beautiful and unique as the person who painted it. 🙂

Dominique and Manuel are from Switzerland and spent four weeks with us here at Lexis Byron Bay. They enrolled in the English in Action – Surfing course for two weeks, followed by another two weeks of General English.
Manuel has always dreamed of visiting Australia. He also loves to surf, having done a surf camp in Portugal, and he enjoys the hippy culture and lifestyle. Byron Bay was the obvious choice for him to visit! Dominique was interested in spending some time overseas to practice his English, and thought that Manuel’s plan sounded pretty good, so came along with him!
For both of them, their favourite things about Byron Bay includes the lovely, friendly, polite people, although Manuel said they can be a bit too relaxed at times (for example, when they are making your to-go coffee and it takes a good ten minutes!). Dominique also enjoyed the Lighthouse and being able to watch the whales swim past in the ocean, while Manuel loved the beaches, the lifestyle and the positive attitudes of everyone he met.
Dominique and Manuel felt that they absolutely made improvements to their English skills while they studied here at Lexis Byron Bay. Their teachers were very, very good and were friendly and helpful at all times. They found that the teaching style here is quite different to what they have experienced in Switzerland, which was very helpful in learning new English concepts.
In addition to improving their English, they also improved their surfing! For Dominique, it was his first time ever to try surfing. Manuel, on the other hand, had tried surfing before at a surf camp in Portugal. Compared to that experience, the lessons he had here with the team at Let’s Go Surfing Byron Baywere outstanding. The classes were much smaller here, allowing a more personal and attentive method of coaching. Their instructors were great teachers, very motivated and clearly love what they do, which all came together to make a positive and fun surfing experience!
Overall, Dominique and Manuel would definitely recommend the English in Action – Surfing course to anyone considering studying English and learning to surf in Australia!
After completing their studies at Lexis Byron Bay last week, they were flying straight back to Switzerland the day after their graduation. They would have liked to stay in Australia for a longer period of time, but unfortunately had to be back at work this week. Manuel plans to continue his English studies and will be completing the Cambridge CAE course next year in Switzerland, and is hoping to study Law at university, which is a bilingual course. He also hopes to return to Byron Bay in the next few years!
We truly enjoyed having you both here at Lexis Byron Bay and hope to see you back in Australia again one day! All the best for whatever your futures hold 🙂

This morning we played a game of Pictionary while also enjoying some pizza!
Pictionary is a game where one person from each team picks a card with a list of words on it. They then have to draw a picture of this word and the other person on their has to guess what it is before the timer runs out. The teams take in turns rolling the die to move forward on the board, and the first team to reach the end wins.
There were some great drawings and very close competition between the three teams! Bruna and Nozomi raced through the board, with Saya and Othman close behind for much of the game. Erika and Yuri were left behind and were not feeling hopeful, but they made a quick comeback just in time and joined Bruna and Nozomi at the finish line! With two teams on the last square, the race was on to draw and guess the winning picture (which was of a sun). The three teams all started drawing and within a couple of seconds all three teams were yelling the answer! So in the end, the result was a tie between Bruna and Nozomi’s team, and Erika and Yuri’s team.
Everyone had fun trying to guess their partner’s drawings and eating the free pizza while learning new English words. 🙂

Learn English in Byron Bay. Lexis English students study General English, IELTS, FCE, CAE and English plus Surfing in a friendly and professional school right in the heart of Byron Bay and only 15 minutes from the beach.
This morning we enjoyed our coffee and TimTams while playing a game of Charades to practice our English.
We took it in turns acting out different actions and activities and everyone had to try to guess what we were acting out! For example, in the photos above you can see Bruna acting out “washing an elephant” and Saya acting out “milking a cow”. It was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to learn new English words and phrases.
In the afternoon we played a game called ‘Paper Telephone’, a different version of the game Telephone (also known as Secret Whispers, Grapevine and many other names, depending on where in the world you play this game!).
The students took turns – the first writes a sentence, the next draws a picture for that sentence and then the next writes a sentence for that picture, and so on. Each person can only see the previous person’s addition (i.e. they can only see the one picture or sentence that the person before them contributed).
By the time the paper had gone around the group once, the sentence and pictures were quite drastically different from where they started! For example…
…two cats sleeping in a tree ends up as two cats chilling out on the grass (after going through changes including sitting in a tree, fighting, playing and scratching the ground – sounds like a standard day for a cat really!). The other examples have a guy surfing in a rabbit costume turning into a koala surfing on his board, and unicorns flying over clouds became two cows inside a cloud!
It was a funny way to practice and learn more English words while enjoying the coffee, TimTams and good company!

She hopes to improve her English speaking skills while she is here so that she can find work and live in one of the major cities of Australia. She plans to work and save money during her time here so that she can do some travel as well. She believes this trip will enrich both her soul and her English skills, as she hopes to meet lots of new people and speak only English for the next year.

He decided to study English to help his career, as it is very important to have a good level of English when working in Economics. He chose Lexis Byron Bay because the school is of a high standard, it is in a small town and is on the coast of paradise.

We have five students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay this week.
Dominique is from Switzerland and graduates from Kathleen’s Intermediate class. When he arrived, Dominique had a good knowledge of English grammar but little confidence in speaking and listening, especially when trying to understand the Australian accent. Over his four weeks here, he was (in his teacher’s words) a teacher’s dream! He attended all his classes, he came to class on time and he worked hard to improve and learn. He has made great improvement with his English, particularly in building his confidence in speaking and has a great ability to explain words to other students. Dominique came to Lexis Byron Bay on the English in Action – Surfing course, so he not only improved his English but also learnt to surf during his time here! He is now heading straight back to Switzerland this weekend and will be back at work by Monday. We hope to see you back in Australia again one day!
Maria is from Spain and graduates from Iruka’s Intermediate class. She studied at Lexis Byron Bay for 12 weeks and showed great improvement in her English skills over that time. She has very good writing and grammar skills and achieved excellent results, finishing with an overall A grade. She is now off to do some travel in Australia before returning to Spain. We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels!
Manuel is from Switzerland and graduates from Ellie and Anji’s IELTS class. He has been a very intelligent and wonderful student. He brings a lot of enthusiasm, smiles and laughter to the class as well as showing a high aptitude for the English language. Manuel studied the English in Action – Surfing course at Lexis Byron Bay, which gave him the opportunity to not only improve his English, but also his surfing skills too! He is now heading back to Switzerland this weekend and back to work next week. We hope to see you back in Byron Bay one day!
Kazumi is from Japan and graduates from Iruka’s Intermediate class. She has worked hard and has shown great improvement during her time here at Lexis Byron Bay. In particular, her English writing and grammar skills are improving more and more every week. Kazumi is staying in Byron Bay and we are sure we will see her around town!
Liu is from China and graduates from Kristy’s Pre-Intermediate class. He has been a pleasure to have in class for the past two weeks. He has done very well in that time and is beginning to understand English grammar forms and how to use them. He hopes to stay in Australia with his family and to one day be able to speak both English and Chinese with his daughter.

Today we got into the kitchen to do some Thai Cooking.
We cooked up a Thai Green Curry, in both the morning and afternoon sessions, and it was delicious!
The students learnt many new words and phrases to do with cooking (such as ‘grater‘, ‘todrain‘ and ‘ladle‘) and the ingredients we used (for example, ‘water chestnuts‘, ‘kaffir lime leaves‘, and for Othman who had never heard of it before, ‘tofu‘).
In the afternoon we even had a trained chef help us out! Lear is a student at Lexis but is also an excellent chef so he taught us a few tricks with frying tofu, juicing limes and chopping chillies!
Here is the recipe for anyone who wants to try this at home…
Ingredients
Oil
300g tofu
4cm piece of ginger
200g sliced water chestnuts
½ lemongrass stalk
1 small broccoli
240g Thai green curry paste
150g baby corn
500ml coconut milk
250g snow peas
500ml vegetable stock
250g bean sprouts
2-3 kaffir lime leaves
1/3 cup chopped salted peanuts
4 tsp sugar
1 small red chilli
Juice from 2 limes
250g rice noodles
Method
Using the small holes on a grater, grate the ginger and lemongrass. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and lemongrass, and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add coconut milk and stock, stir to combine. Add kaffir lime leaves and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
In a frying pan, heat some oil. Cut tofu into 1cm cubes, then fry over medium heat until lightly browned on all sides.
Add sugar, lime juice and tofu to the curry. Simmer for a further 2 minutes. Stir in the water chestnuts.
Cook the rice noodles then drain. Cut the broccoli into small florets then cook in boiling water for 2 minutes. Trim the ends of the snow peas and the bok choy into quarters then add to saucepan with broccoli to cook for a further 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
Drain the bean sprouts and slice the red chilli ready for serving.
Divide the cooked vegetables between serving bowls. Pour green curry over the vegetables. Garnish with bean sprouts, peanuts and red chilli.

Today at Coffee Lounge we practiced our English conversation skills with a couple of games! Of course, we also had some yummy coffee and TimTams as well!
In the morning, we played Lexis Jenga which is the same as traditional Jenga, but with a question on each tile. After pulling out a tile, you then answer the question.
From today’s questions we found out that Bruna’s favourite ice cream flavour is vanilla, Stefan has been to eight different countries, Saya’s favourite thing to do in Byron Bay is go to the beach, Isabella once got a speeding ticket for R$80 (approximately AU$30 – a cheap fine by Australian standards!), and Othman’s favourite season is Winter because the weather is much cooler then in his home country of Saudi Arabia.
This game is a great way to practice and learn English words and phrases while also getting to know your fellow students. We were also lucky enough to have a visit from Frida, the dog enjoying her coffee in the photo, who was being looked after by Lexis student Isabella!
In the afternoon, we played Charades which involved acting out English phrases for the other students to guess.
Some phrases were quite difficult and were a good opportunity to learn a phrase the students had never heard of before. For example, ‘raking leaves‘, ‘chasing a tornado‘ and ‘landing a plane‘. Others were a bit easier and were a lot of fun to act out and guess, such as ‘milking a cow‘, ‘filming a movie‘ and ‘washing an elephant‘! Every student who acted out a phrase got a TimTam (which is enough to convince even Roman to join the game!) and enjoyed the time learning English and laughing along with their friends.

Alessa is from Switzerland and studied at Lexis Byron Bay for two weeks on the English in Action – Surfing course. During those two weeks she studied English in the mornings and learnt to surf in the afternoons.
Her first visit to Australia was in January of this year, when she spent a month travelling with her family. She loved the country and the people so much that she had to come back!
She arrived in Australia with an Intermediate level of English and, although her time at Lexis Byron Bay was short, she feels has learnt more and improved her English language skills.
Alessa (back row, on the right) with the other new students on her first day at Lexis Byron Bay
Alessa had never surfed before, so was quite nervous for her first lesson! Over the two weeks she had eight lessons with the team at Lets Go Surfing Byron Baywho taught her the basics of surfing and helped her to improve. By the end of the eight lessons, she was feeling very good in her ability to surf and hopes to keep surfing when she returns to Europe.
One of Alessa’s favourite things about Byron Bay was the people. In particular, she enjoyed meeting all the people at Lexis Byron Bay and the friends she has made from all over the world.
Alessa (second from right) enjoyed the Coffee Lounge conversation activity with other Lexis Byron Bay students
Alessa said she would definitely recommend the English in Action – Surfing course to anyone thinking of studying English and learning to surf in Byron Bay. She said the team at Lets Go Surfing Byron Bayare really nice, very motivated, always have a smile and make the lessons really fun!
Alessa (centre) with her Lexis classmates on graduation day
Now Alessa is enjoying two months of travelling around Australia. After Byron Bay she is off to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and then Perth before flying back to Switzerland. We hope she has a great time travelling around the country and continues to practice both her English and her surfing!

He loves to travel and over the past five years he has visited more than 20 countries, all with a wide varieties of cultures and foods. He has been working with his cousin as a waiter for a pizza catering business and hopes to get sponsorship to stay in Australia. For this, he needs to pass the IELTS test which is why he chose to study English at Lexis Byron Bay.
Alexandra is from Germany. In her free time she likes to go out with friends, listen to music and read books. She also learns the flute and is part of a choir. She has worked as a nurse for four years and enjoys working in her local hospital. She came to Australia to study because she wants to improve her English to help when travelling and listening to music. After four weeks at Lexis Byron Bay she plans to travel for two weeks before she has to return home. It is such a short visit, but she hopes to return again next year to see more of the country!
Ji-Young is from Korea and is one of four in her family, with her mother, father and younger sister. She has many hobbies that she enjoys, such as travelling, watching movies and listening to music. She studies Environmental Planning at University and has done research on the environmental effects in her city. Ji-Young has travelled to many places but has never lived in another country. She decided to live in Australia so that she could improve her English while also enjoying warm weather, seeing dolphins here in Byron Bay and learning to surf.
Sheryl is from Switzerland. She likes to keep fit, hang out with friends and travel. She came to Australia to learn English in Byron Bay for four weeks before travelling the east coast. She is looking forward to experiencing a new country and a different lifestyle. She hopes to have a great time and meet lots of people in Australia and her onward travels in Fiji. Her future plans include travelling to many countries, getting married and living a happy life with family and friends.
Janine is from Switzerland and lives with her family including her parents and younger brother and sister in a small village near Lucerne and the Swiss mountains. She works as a draughtsperson for an architectural office, drawing plans for people building houses. In her free time she plays the clarinet and trumpet.

They plan to rent a campervan and drive to Cairns, spend a week there and then drive back down to Sydney to fly back to Switzerland.
Julie is from France and is one of five in her family. All her family members live in different locations – her mother in Montpellier, her father in Bordeaux, her sister in Marseille, her brother in Milan, Italy, and now herself in Byron Bay, Australia! She loves to travel and would be very happy if she could travel for the rest of her life. She also enjoys reading, going to the cinema, having fun with friends, and keeping fit with running, going to the gym or swimming at the beach. She works in sales and has been in her job for six years. She wants to improve her English because it is spoken so widely across the world and is helpful for travel, and she is also planning to work in Australia.
Stefan is from Switzerland and is one of four in his family, with his mother, father and older brother. He likes to play field hockey with his team every week, though he says they are not doing too well this season! After finishing high school, he has worked for a few years as a Landscape Gardener and completed his one year of Military Service. He is interested in plants, animals and other cultures. When deciding to study English, he chose to come to Australia so he could experience the beautiful plants, animals and landscapes of this country.

He also has a father and brother living in Brazil, and another brother living in Perth, Australia. Paulo likes to go surfing, mountain biking and travelling. He works for DHL, which is a German logistics company, in the IT Department. He enjoys his work and has a lot of fun in the workplace. This company is international, with colleagues working in many different parts of the world, which is why he wants to improve his English.

Today we had planned to play volleyball but, unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and it was not a pleasant day to head to the beach. Instead, we held a Table Tennis Tournament!
With the last tournament being held just last week, the players were highly motivated to defend or claim the title of Lexis Champion! Today’s winner was Roman, who has a strong background in tennis (as a tennis instructor back in Spain!) and won the 6-pack of beer to enjoy.

We have four students finishing at Lexis Byron Bay this week: Carla, Maria, Alessa and Lucia.
Carla is from Spain and graduates from Iruka’s Intermediate class. She has been an exceptional student who has worked hard to achieve great results. In class she has been enthusiastic, helpful and respectful to other students. Outside of class she has worked well on homework and self-study, and is described as a model student by her teacher! Carla plans to enjoy another couple of weeks in Byron Bay before heading to back Spain, but hopes to return to Australia in the next few years to continue learning and practicing her English. We look forward to seeing you back here Carla!
Maria is from Spain and graduates from Claudia and Ellie’s Upper Intermediate class. She is a lovely student to have in class, with an enthusiastic and dynamic personality that always lifts the class atmosphere. She contributes very well in class and has shown herself to be a dedicated and intelligent student. Maria has worked hard during her time here and has improved her English in all areas. She will be in Byron Bay for a few more weeks before travelling in Australia and possibly doing some more studies. You will be missed in the Lexis Family but we hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Australia!
Alessa is from Switzerland and graduates from Kathleen’s Intermediate class. She has been at Lexis Byron Bay for just two weeks, on the English in Action – Surfing course. In class she made a positive impact, with her lovely nature putting other students at ease and encouraging them to speak. This enabled her to get lots of speaking and listening practice, which resulted in great improvements in these skills. She is a quick learner, picking up and using the new grammar and vocabulary taught in class. After learning English in the mornings, she spent most of her afternoons learning how to surf the famous Byron Bay beaches! Alessa now has two months of travel around Australia planned before going back home. Enjoy exploring more of Australia!
Lucia is from Slovakia and graduates from Paul’s CAE Advanced class. She showed great aptitude for the English language and, with just four weeks at Lexis, she studied for two weeks each in the Upper Intermediate and Advanced (CAE) classes. She now plans to do some travel while figuring out her next step – possibly to continue studying English. We wish you all the best for the future – whatever it may hold!

After some initial nerves (having never been on a skateboard before) the students got on to a skateboard to start practicing!
In no time at all, they were looking very comfortable on the boards, mastering how to turn, grabbing their board and stopping. Most importantly, they had a lot of fun doing it and didn’t want the session to end. We look forward to the next session in November to keep learning new skate skills and get a few more beginners on the boards!

It was a perfect day for Coffee Lounge with the weather turning wet and windy in Byron Bay today! We warmed up with some hot coffee, demolished a couple of packets of TimTams and enjoyed great conversation with friends.
In the morning we practiced speaking English in a game of ‘Aussie Heads’, asking yes/no questions to find out the name of the card on our head. The cards had names of animals, places, objects or sports on them, for example a surfboard, kangaroo, Uluru and cricket.
In the afternoon the conversation was flowing between all the students, chatting about their lives in Byron Bay, comparing cultural customs from their different countries and planning the night ahead at the Student Night in Byron Bay tonight!

Alba is from Spain and is one of five siblings in her family including two brothers and two sisters. She works as a bartender and likes snowboarding, watching TV, going out and listening to Techno music. She came to study English in Australia for the beaches and the people, and a lot of her friends travel here too. She hopes to work in Australia so she can practice speaking English and meet people during her time here.
Gwen is from France and arrived in Brisbane last week to visit her step-brother. She also has another step-brother and a step-sister. She loves being outdoors and experiencing local activities, such as surfing in Australia! She also likes to read, do yoga and practice meditation. She worked as an Event Project Manager for a Swiss company, organising weddings, birthday parties, after-parties, team building challenges, and other events. She loves her job but has to work a lot! She is studying English so that she can get a promotion to a better job in Geneva, which requires her to speak English. She has also always dreamed of travelling to Australia and doing a road trip with friends in a van. She hopes to enjoy her free time and meet lots of other travellers to make the most of her experience here.
Leonie is from Germany and has just completed High School. She lives with her mother, older brother, younger sister and younger brother. In her free time she likes to spend time with her friends and family, or go travelling with them. She chose to study English in Australia for her first solo trip because she thinks it is a great country with nice people. She hopes to travel through Australia and possibly work somewhere along the way. She would also like to try surfing while she is here. When she returns to Germany she plans to study Economics at University.
Bruna is from Brazil and is one of six in her family, including two brothers and a sister. She likes to go to the beach, be in nature and take her dog for a walk. She works as a Biologist in Brazil and has come to Lexis Byron Bay to learn English for better career opportunities in future. She chose to study in Australia for the hot weather, beautiful country, the many beaches and the access to nature.
Charlotte is from Germany and lives in the city of Munich. She likes playing guitar, windsurfing, skiing and swimming. Two months ago she finished her Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and plans to continue on with her studies in a Masters degree. For this, she needs a good level of English which is why she decided to study in Australia. She chose Lexis Byron Bay because, though it is important to her to learn and improve her English, she also enjoys relaxing on her break from University. She thought Byron Bay would be a perfect mix of relaxing holiday time and learning English. After studying in Byron Bay for two months, she is going to Melbourne for two weeks and then to visit a friend in Hong Kong on her way back to Germany.
Chiara is from Belgium and is one of five in her family, with her mother, father and two brothers, plus their dog called Pazzo. She enjoys travelling, photography, scouts, jogging, swimming and horseback riding. She has just finished High School and is taking a gap year before going to college next year.

Miji is from Korea and is one of four in her family, with her mother, father and brother. She has always enjoyed make-up and went to Makeup School after finishing her High School studies. She has always wanted to travel overseas. She wants to learn English and travel all around Australia. In the future, she plans to go to a Makeup School in New York.
Bettina is from a small village near Zurich, Switzerland, where she lived with her mother, father and two brothers. She now has a sweet apartment in Zurich where she lives with a friend.

His daughter was born in America and he hopes to be able to speak both English and Chinese with her. He loves being in Australia for the nice people, safe food and clean air. He chose to study English in Byron Bay because he believes it is the best location in Australia!
Joane is from Spain and has just arrived in Byron Bay. She hopes to improve her English while here to enhance her future job opportunities and make it easier to communicate with people all over the world when travelling. She is a very active person and enjoys activities such as surfing, sports, photography and managing her website. She has been studying Architecture at University in Barcelona for a few years but there is little work in this area in Spain at the moment. For this reason, she decided to travel to Australia to explore the job prospects in architecture here.
Paolo and Carolina are from Brazil and travelled to Australia together. They are living in the beautiful town of Lennox Head, near Byron Bay and are studying at Lexis to improve their English.

Angela Soledad Gonzalez Faro from Spain recently joined the Lexis Byron Bay Campus to take part in our English and Yoga course. Having previously studied Cambridge Advanced Exam Preparation at the Noosa Campus, Angela very kindly agreed to demonstrate her report writing skills to give us her thoughts on the English and Yoga experience.

YOGA EXPERIENCE IN BYRON BAY
Introduction:
The purpose of this report is to give an overview of my experience doing different types of yoga in Byron Bay for 10 days as well as to include recommendations for improvements for attracting a great number of foreign prospective students.
Byron Bay:
“Welcome to Byron Bay. Cheer up, slow down, chill out.” Is there a better way to welcome someone in a new place? I don´t think so :-). This small town full of alternative people, live music and lots of art in the street stole my heart. As a yogini and vegetarian looking for a healthy lifestyle Byron became the paradise for me. To make things better, you can find a tremendous variety of restaurants in which you can enjoy appetising and delectable healthy food value for money.
Yoga lessons:
Lexis Byron offered me the possibility of doing different types of yoga. I could choose among Bikram yoga, Yang to Yin, Vinyasa, Hatha and Restorative yoga. I generally practise Ashtanga/Vinyasa yoga, which is very active and dynamic and this opportunity was a doorway into the vast and amazing world of ancient yoga. My favourite styles were Restorative yoga and Yang to Yin yoga which both are very quiet, completely different from Aashtanga. They helped me to relax and rest. On the other hand, Bikram yoga was pretty hard for me due to the high temperatures in which this style is practised. I was struggling from the beginning to stay in the hot room and my pressure was low. Simply, it is not for me, each person is different. However my classmate really loved it. At the end of the Bikram practise I felt very relaxed and calm but I didn’t enjoy the practice.
A Bikram Yoga class
Recommendations:
It was an enriching and lovely experience. However, I would recommend you providing us with a bike in the school owing to the fact that the yoga centres are pretty far from the school and downtown and the majority of people don´t want to buy a bike for staying in Byron for just 10 days. The experience was great, I really enjoyed it!!!
Thanks Angela, we enjoyed having you 🙂

The conditions were perfect both in the water and out, and it was a great day for beginners to learn how to surf. After falling off a few times, getting some more tips from the instructors and refining their skills a few more times, the students all caught some waves and had a lot of fun learning to surf!

The competition was tough at the Table Tennis Tournament today!
There were some great players and close matches to be watched, such as Shin vs Maito, Roman vs Saki. However, the grand final was between Shin and Roman. Both have excellent Table Tennis skills and played very well, but in the end, Shin won the title and the beer!

At Coffee Lounge we played a game of Aussie Heads while enjoying coffee and TimTams!
The game involves sticking a card on your forehead (without looking at what is on it) and then asking yes/no questions to discover what you are!
From crocodiles and sandcastles to the Aussie flag and Sydney Harbour Bridge, the students gradually asked the right questions to find out what card they had stuck to their head, with many laughs in the process!
