Sadly, we say goodbye and congratulations to 5 wonderful students graduating this week!
Cameron, from Belgium, graduates from Josie’s Upper Intermediate class. Though he was only here for 2 weeks, he made a real impression on the his teacher and his classmates. Josie expressed what a pleasure it was to teach him. His English is excellent and he is keen to learn and get involved in class. His friendliness and positive attitude have made him a real asset to the class and he will be missed. Good luck for the future and enjoy the rest of your time in Byron Bay!
Gustavo, from Brazil, also graduates from Josie’s Upper Intermediate class. He has been with us for 12 weeks and he has been a fantastic student. He has contributed to class with his ideas and humour. We wish you all the best Gustavo, and we will see you back at Lexis Byron Bay before long!
Felipe, from Chile, graduates from Paul’s Intermediate class. Paul tells us how he has been a fantastic student and classmate, always showing interest in getting to know others and at the same time practising his English. His English has improved a great deal in the last 12 weeks, especially his speaking ability. We wish you all the best for the future Felipe!
Francesc, from Catalonia, graduates from Ellie’s advanced class, having been with us since January. Starting in Pre Intermediate, and completed his Cambridge FCE course, he has made great progress. He will certainly be missed here at Lexis by teachers and students alike. He goes on to travel around the world before returning to Catalonia to study visual design. Good luck with everything Cesc!
Charlotte, from Germany, graduated from Josie’s advanced class, having just taken her IELTS exam. We welcomed her back to Lexis in May after she graduated in December 2016. She put a great deal of effort into the preparation for her IELTS exam and her standard of English is extremely good. She leaves us with a highly impressive vocabulary and grasp of language. Good luck for the future Charlotte!

Renata, from Brazil, has come to Byron to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of our lovely Beach town. Living in the bustling city of São Paulo she decided to escape and enjoy the quiet and relaxed lifestyle of Byron Bay. She studied advertising at university and has since pursued a career in it – she hopes that becoming completely fluent in English will boost her career even more.
Silvia, also from Brazil, has come to Byron to enjoy the Australian culture and to rest and relax. She left Brazil to explore the world and has traveled through Asia, starting in Thailand and ending in Bali, having explored the Island on a motorbike.
Gregory, from Paris, decided to come travelling in Australia and New Zealand to improve his English for his career. While he is here he is keen to explore Australia and see some of its many beautiful sights like the Whitsunday Islands.
Victor, from Mauritius joins us for the second time at Lexis Byron Bay, having studied and surfed here for 2 weeks last year. He returns to Byron as he thinks immersing himself in the English language is the best way to learn – that and he is a little obsessed with surfing!
Yanis, also from Mauritius, did not come to Byron for the beach or the sunshine, as they also get plenty of this in their home. He came to Byron to improve his English but most importantly to surf. He would like to continue to travel after he finishes his studies and his is considering going to University in Singapore!
Pierre, from Belgium, was told by his friend that Australia was amazing, and he wanted to come to see it for himself. Pierre had to postpone his trip to Byron, so he has been looking forward to coming here for a long time! He is glad to finally be here to surf and improve his English.
Nozomi, from Japan, has come to Byron to enjoy the chilled lifestyle and the beautiful beaches. She likes to surf and listen to music and she is excited to meet people of various nationalities and learn about other cultures.

Today we said goodbye to to five students and see you later to another.
We are going to miss Shodai and Felipe from Kristy Pre-Intermediate class.
Kristy said she really enjoyed teaching Shodai, that he had a kind and smiley personality and always asked good questions. She also said she hated notice a great improvement in his speaking and pronunciation.
Felipe, who was here for 24 weeks, was described as positive, caring and kind because of the way he helped other students in class. He has progressed from Elementary level and now can communicate much more fluently than when her arrived.
From Josie’s Upper Intermediate class we say goodbye to Pauline, who was also here for 24 weeks. Pauline has made excellent progress during her time at Lexis English, progressing from Pre-Intermediate to Upper-Intermediate. Her teachers said she always participated in class and will be sadly missed from the class.
Two students also graduated from our new Advanced class. Mauricio has been at Lexis Byron Bay for 18 weeks and started in Intermediate. His teacher, Claudia, said that it had been a pleasure teaching him and that his vocabulary and speaking skills have greatly improved.
Julio has been here for 14 weeks in total and was previously in our FCE preparation class. Although he only studied with Claudia for a few days she said that she enjoyed his contributions in class.
Finally, we are saying a temporary farewell to Bitna. Bitna has already studied at Lexis Byron Bay for 20 weeks and will return in July for another 20 weeks. She has already progressed from Elementary to Intermediate and will be ready to start thinking about exam classes when she returns. Enjoy your holiday Bitna!
At Lexis, every week is bittersweet, as we say goodbye to our students. We wish you all the very best in your next adventures.

Yesterday we made chocolate brownies in the student lounge! We experimented with a vegan recipe and we added walnuts and raspberries.
Maria and Juliana provided a beautiful musical accompaniment on their Ukuleles.
The recipe is vegan and we added raspberries and some marshmallows on top! They might look a little rustic but they certainly tasted delicious!
Here is the recipe if you would like to make it.
Ingredients
5 tablespoons sunflower oil
200g dark chocolate (dairy free if you want to make it vegan)
170g of self-raising flour
3 heaped teaspoons of cocoa powder
180g golden caster sugar
230ml coconut milk
200g walnuts
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Grease a square baking tin (roughly 20cm) with a little oil, then line with greaseproof paper.
Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the base doesn’t touch the water. Break 150g of chocolate into the bowl and allow it to melt, then set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, sieve the flour and cocoa powder into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar. Stir in the oil, milk and melted chocolate until combined.
Roughly chop and stir in the remaining chocolate and most of the nuts reserving a few for the top. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle over the remaining pecans, then place into the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked on the outside, but still gooey in the middle.
Leave to cool for around 5 minutes, turn out onto a wire cooling rack, and then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

Sakiko is 24 years old and she is from Kochi, a small town in rural Japan. She studied law at Kobe University and came straight to Australia after she graduated. She arrived in Byron Bay in June 2016 and has been at Lexis for an incredible here for 52 weeks! I interviewed Sakiko on her last day of school to find out about the remarkable year she has had.
Why did you choose Byron Bay?
While I was at University I was living in a big city, it was very crowded and busy for me. I wanted to live somewhere quiet and peaceful. My agent recommended Byron Bay to me and it is exactly what I wanted. Also I love yoga; I practised it in Japan for many years. Yoga is a big part of life in Byron, I practice yoga 3 or 4 times every week here.
Byron is a great place to come if you don’t know anybody. If you go to a big place it is hard to meet people but Byron is community so it is a good opportunity to speak with local people – it has a very friendly atmosphere here, everyone is happy to talk to you.
What were your weaknesses in English before you came to Australia?
I found listening and speaking the most difficult – I think most Japanese have this problem. We don’t have speaking practise in class at school in Japan so I was not used to speaking. On my first day I couldn’t understand everything, even though everyone was speaking slowly, I just guessed what they were saying. I did not feel ready to speak English yet, I’m afraid to make mistakes when I spoke. After 1 month and 2 months when I made a lot of friends from different places they really influenced me. Especially my Brazilian friends because I saw that they were not scared to make mistakes. I asked them once: ‘you don’t care about making mistakes?’ but they said ‘no I don’t care, I just speak.’ That was a really good lesson to learn.
Tell me about your teachers and your classes.
I started in Intermediate class. I studied a lot of English to enter University, and my grammar was good. I have had so many great teachers. Paul is my favourite teacher because he is so interesting and he always makes us laugh. He taught me pronunciation, how English and Japanese are so different because of emphasis and intonation. It was very hard, I almost gave up, but he never gave up to teach me!
One lesson we went to Byron Bay farmers market (we have this once a week in Byron, in the mornings, we can buy local products: fresh vegetables, fruits etc. It’s a great community atmosphere.) Here we interviewed the people working in the market. I was nervous but they are so kind to us, even though we were still learning. It was great because I often go to the farmers market but I don’t often have the chance to communicate with the producers about the local produce.
What was your favourite activity?
Yoga was my favourite activity. Every Monday at school there is free yoga and I went every week for a year. I think I improved my yoga a lot. I also tried a lot of new activities, like surfing, skate boarding, slack-lining, cooking (we made koala cupcakes). They were very sweet for me but I enjoyed decorating them.
Tell me about your accommodation.
My first 6 weeks I was in homestay accommodation, staying with Gill and John. They were so kind. I was nervous about living with them, but on my first day they took me around Byron Bay, to lots of places. We went up to the lighthouse and to different beaches. We had lots of BBQs at the house and we baked cookies.
Afterwards I find a share house on Gumtree. It takes my five minutes to get to school on foot. At the moment with 2 Australian people, this has helped me to learn English. My host is very kind and speaks slowly and explains what words mean to me and this really helped my English improve.
What are your favourite things to do in Byron?
After I took a surf lesson, I decided to buy a surf board. During the Summer I surfed almost every day. It’s a good life, study and then go to surf. I think I got a bit better and I enjoyed it. I would meet up with my friends at the beach to surf.
I also enjoy going up to lighthouse to see the sunrise. It is the most Easterly point of Australia and the view is amazing. The view always changes as the seasons change. One morning I met my friends at 4:30 am and we walked up in the dark and the stars were beautiful.
I also love yoga here. It is very different to Japan, it seems more difficult and there is more variety of lessons. I can chose which I want to do depending on the condition of my body.
What is your most magical moment in Byron?
While I was doing the light house walk in the morning I saw whales and dolphins. One time I saw many dolphins very close to us on the walk. I was able to take this amazing picture:
What is your advice for people who are thinking about enrolling at Lexis Byron Bay?
You should come here, all the teachers are very kind and there are good quality lessons that are interesting and never boring. It is a very small school here so it is easy for everyone to get to know each other. March was my favourite month, because it is not too hot but the Sun is still out and it is not so crowded here. Winter is also good here, the sky is clear and bright but it is not too hot, you can see beautiful sunrises!
What are you going to do now?
I have 3 weeks holidays now before I move to Lexis Perth. Tomorrow I am going to travel in New Zealand for 1 week. After New Zealand my sister will come here to visit in Byron Bay. Then I am going to do the Gold Coast marathon with my sister. I have heard it is a good route, around the beach but very flat. It is going to be a very challenging event in my life but I like to try new challenges. I am a little but worried about that but also excited. I will study in Perth for 3 weeks and then go home back to Japan. When I go home I think I will look for a job. I would like to live one more year in Australia or New Zealand, I want more opportunity to use English and communicate with English speakers. In Japan I would love to do an international job that involves using English and possibly working with sports, for example I would love to have a job related to the Japanese Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
Good luck with your marathon and your travels Sakiko, you will be missed here at Lexis Byron Bay!

The Lexis Byron Bay Coffee Lounge had a guest host this week, as Claire is on holiday.
Instead, providing the Tim-Tams, coffee and conversations was our much-loved teacher Josie. She really enjoyed mixing with students from a range of levels, including some students from her recent CAE Preparation class. In fact, she enjoyed it so much that she’s volunteered to do it all again next week.

Welcome to our three new starters at Lexis Byron Bay today!
Mayuko, from Japan, has left her job working for Ralph Lauren to come to Byron Bay and pursue a career in the organic food industry. Having already traveled around Australia, visiting Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, she decided on Byron to come and study. She certainly chose the right place! She would like to improve her English so that she can communicate with people internationally for work.
Beatrice joins us from Milan, Italy. She has escaped the sweltering Summer in Milan to enjoy the fresh air of Byron in winter. She leaves behind her family, her dog and her horse Strudel – who she practices show jumping with! She has come back to Australia, having studied in Lexis Noosa last year, because she loves Australia so much and she believes the best way to learn a language is to fully immerse yourself in it. She loves to surf and could not wait to get in the water today to ride the waves.
Cameron, from Belgium, joins us in Byron having studied at Lexis Noosa. Cameron loves surfing and would surf everyday if he could. He has certainly come to the right place too! He has just finished high school and will return home to study pursue his studies in environmental sciences. Cameron sees learning English as necessary for him to communicate with people while he continues to travel and explore the world.

Congratulations to our six General English students graduating from Lexis Byron Bay this week!
Sakiko from Japan graduates from Josie’s Upper Intermediate class after an incredible year of studying at Lexis. She heads to New Zealand to travel, before heading to Perth for a short stint at our Lexis school there. Since her first day here in June 2016 she has gained an incredible amount of confidence in her speaking and listening. She has been a very dedicated student and her progress has been impressive. Her teachers really enjoyed teaching her due to her hard work and positive attitude. Have a wonderful trip to New Zealand and good luck with your future studies in Perth – and with your Gold Coast Marathon!
Nil from Spain (Catalonia) graduates from Josie’s Upper Intermediate class, having completed his FCE course with Paul. Nil has been with us since September and has been a fantastic member of the school – getting really involved in all the activities and taking every opportunity Byron has to offer. He leaves us with a great level of English: a really good grasp of grammar and an impressive vocabulary. He will be sorely missed by us all here!
Madoka from Japan graduates from Michelle’s Elementary class. She has been a very motivated student and as a result he has achieved fantastic exam results throughout the course. She has participated very well in speaking activities and her speaking skills have improved a lot. She is off to travel around Australia with Kensaku to find all the best surf spots. It has been a delight to get to know you Madoka – All the best!
Kensaku from Japan graduates from Michelle’s Elementary class. Michelle expressed what a pleasure it had been to teach Kensaku, who would tackle each daunting task with enthusiasm. He has really improved his speaking, writing and listening abilities. Keep practicing English with your lovely wife Madoka as you seek out surf spots up the Coast!
Wahei from Japangraduates from Michelle’s Elementary class, after 4 weeks of study. Despite only a short period of study, Wahei has improved greatly in all areas of English, especially his speaking ability. He has participated well in class activities.
