Learn English in Byron Bay. Lexis English students study General English, IELTS, FCE, CAE, and English plus Surfing and Yoga in a friendly and professional school right in the heart of Byron Bay and only 15 minutes from the beach.

Happy Class!! First Certificate of English (FCE) with teacher Kathleen.

Our Cambridge classes are in their twelfth and final week and will be sitting their exams next week. They’ve learned a lot of new vocabulary during the course and done a lot of writing practise. Plus, they’ve also, we hope, had a magical time in beautiful Byron Bay.

To put all of this together, the FCE class teacher, Kathleen, had her students write a review of  Byron Bay, using some of the phrasal verbs, fixed expressions, collocations and adjectives they had learned in class.

Stefan – When I arrived in Byron Bay nearly 3 months ago, I had some expectations. Most of them came true as I was fascinated by all the laid back people here and it was very welcoming. The beach was very clean and the sand was so fine like I had never felt before. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing too fiercely but that was the only negative thing.
I was really keen on the gorgeous sunsets and sunrise, and the best places to see them are the lighthouse and the water tower.

Stefan

Aline – Byron Bay is one of my favourite places in the world because the atmosphere here is really relaxing. Furthermore, the locals here are laid-back, for instance, if you need help they come up with a solution.
For me, the most breathtaking activity was sky diving which was spectacular and I’m looking forward to doing it again.
A thing that you need to take up here is surfing because Byron has fantastic waves at the beach.

Aline.JPG

Ivan – Imagine endless beaches with white sand and crystal clear water: welcome to Byron Bay! If you like an easy-going lifestyle (and cheerful people) you should visit this little town.
The lighthouse is about a 30-minute walk away from the centre but when you finally reach the top with the stunning view you will never want to go back.

Ivan

Romy – Since I have arrived here in Byron Bay, I have been able to do a lot of thrilling and breathtaking things. I have taken up some new activities. I tried out skydiving, which was wicked, diving, which was fascinating, and finally, I have been going about 3 times a week to yoga which is peaceful for me.
But what do I love most about Byron Bay? It’s surely the picturesque sunrises and sunsets. Doing a late afternoon walk to the lighthouse and watching from there the most scenic view for the sunset, it’s just fantastic. As a result, it has become my favourite activity.
Above all, my experiences and time here in Byron Bay are unforgettable!

Quentin – After spending 3 months in Byron Bay, which is an absolutely fantastic place, I just want to say thank you! What a thrilling journey. So many good moments shared with gorgeous people and so many beautiful meetings.
This place is definitely so welcoming and relaxing if you need to chill out and take time for yourself. This personal and social experience will be absolutely unforgettable.

Quentin

Naoki – What makes me satisfied in Byron? It’s Byron Bay’s gorgeous beach. Honestly, I hadn’t been to such nature before coming here. When I looked at the view from Main Beach to the lighthouse for the first time, it was impressive for me.
I really wonder if I could stay here for longer and have more time to chill out!

Naoki

Anouck – An incredible experience! I think my experience in Byron Bay was the best in my life. I met a lot of amazing people here. In the afternoon after school, I would spend a lot of time with friends. We sometimes went to the beach or go to a cafe to drink something. On the weekends, I did a lot of different things. I went camping to Yamba with the school, I went to the Gold Coast with friends, or simply did some thrilling things in Byron.
I will take back to Switzerland amazing memories of my 3 months here because I had the chance to do my open water diving license and to see captivating animals like turtles, sharks, and rays.
My expectation was to improve my English and I did it, so I’m satisfied!

Elena – I can just say, as soon as I arrived in Byron, I fell in love with this place! My first impression of Byron was very relaxing, welcoming, and peaceful.
There are a lot of exciting things you can do here, for example surfing at the gorgeous beaches or enjoying a coffee or ice cream in a cosy cafe in town.
Also, a very impressive moment was to watch these breathtaking sunrises or sunsets, for example at the picturesque Tallow Beach.
It’s sad to leave but I will come back that’s for sure!

Elena

Ramona – I fell in love the first moment I arrived in Byron Bay. When we drove into the town I could hear the fascinating street musicians and my first view was of the Balcony. Before I had just a picture in my head and now I am here. Afterwards, I met my lovely family and I felt welcomed.
There are a lot of exciting things that you can do in Byron Bay. However, my favourite activity was when I went running twice a week to the beach in the morning and watched the breathtaking sunrise.
I am grateful for every moment here and Byron Bay will be my second home.

Ramona

Stephan – my first impression of Byron was really marvellous, especially browsing the fascinating alleys. The school was welcoming and I felt completely at home. I made a lot of new friends and there are many exciting or relaxing activities in Byron. For me, I got totally into surfing and went almost every day.
Byron pulls i many people for parties as well so it wasn’t unusual to go out three times a week.
Overall it was an absolutely unforgettable experience I had in Byron.

New Starters – Kathleen’s FCE class! 31 December

IMG_0002.JPG

 

To practice their speaking, listening and writing, as well as get to know each other better, they were put in pairs and had to write about their partner. From this we can now learn a little bit about each of them…

 

Carme

I’d like to present Carme, who is named after her mother. Carme comes from Catalonia where she loves the good food and weather, and the different cultures. Carme used to work as a Personal Assistant but she found this boring so she changed her job. Now, she has her own business organising sporting events. (written by Andreas)

 

Andreas

I’ve been talking for a few moments with Andreas who is one of my classmates, from Switzerland. He recommended me to visit there because it is a beautiful country with big mountains and you can enjoy walking around. Andreas was working as a computer machinist but decided to go abroad to improve his English. He chose Byron Bay because it’s very similar to his town. (written by Carme)

 

Raphael

Today I will introduce my new friend Raphael. He is from Switzerland, like me, but in the German part. Next year, he is going to study Facility Management and has to move from Lucerne. It’s very cool because he also likes surfing and going to the beach! (written by Lara)

 

Lara

I’d like to introduce Lara! She is 19 years old and she comes from Switzerland. She likes to spend time with friends and to go cross-country skiing. She’s finished her studies and has to think about what path to choose so she jumped to Australia – like a kangaroo – in order to learn English and decide what to do in her future. (written by Raphael)

 

Christian

Please say hello to Christian who is from a town near Milan in Italy. In his country, he studied cooking and now works as a chef. He’s studying the FCE because he wants to improve his English for the future. In his free time, he likes doing sport or going to the beach. (written by Tania)

 

Tania

Tania is from a small boring town next to Barcelona – she doesn’t enjoy living there L. Like her sister, she wants to study journalism. Her passion is to travel and she also loves the ocean, which is why she likes to spend her free time on the beach or learning to surf. If she were an animal, Tania would be a fish or bird. (written by Christian)

 

Jessy

I’d like to present to you Jessy, from the French part of Switzerland. She is 19 years old and she needs the FCE for her studies next year. In her free time, Jessy loves to hang out with her friends at the beach. At the end of her time in Australia, she wants to be a good surfer. (written by Ana)

 

Ana

I would like to introduce Ana who is 26 years old and comes from Spain. She’s named after her aunt. Ana works in Madrid in Human Resources. In her free time, she likes to chill out with her friends and drink beer … and she likes photography as well. Ana is doing the FCE because she thinks it’s important for her career and life in general. (written by Jessy)

 

Tamara

Today, I met a new student – Tamara – who is named after a professional skier from a long time ago. In her home country, Switzerland, she lives in a small village, which she likes because it’s calm. Tamara would like to excel at surfing and I think she’s chosen the best place to learn! (written by Stella)

 

Stella

I’d like to present Stella, from the French part of Switzerland. She is 20 years old and has already travelled a lot. In Switzerland, she works in a real estate agency. Now, she is here to improve her English because she needs it for her work, and for herself. She loves surfing and the vibe of Byron Bay. (written by Tamara)

End of Cambridge BBQ! November 25

After three months of studying very hard, the Cambridge course has come to an end! It feels like only yesterday we were welcoming the Cambridge students on their first day. Many friends have been made and lots of English learnt over the past three months and we will be sad to say goodbye to this group.

In addition to the Cambridge students leaving, we have 16 students finishing up their General English courses today too. This gave us all the more reason to come together for an Aussie BBQ celebration and what a lovely day it was. 🙂
