Many people will ask me why I have chosen Trinidad and Tobago to study abroad. Evidently, the most known and visited countries around of the world are the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and etc. It happens when you want to learn English, but in the other hand there are others opportunities to exchange. If you do a scarcely research on web, hardly you will find suitable information about another destiny in our planet. I can include a developing country which is South Africa, by which, they supported a brilliant world cup in 2010, but this possibility is as far as the others already quoted. Beyond Trinidad and Tobago, there are others countries nearby Brazil that they speak English as first language. I could describe Guyana which is located in the South America Continent like our country is. Considering Caribbean countries they are: Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis. As you see, a lot of possibilities to study English.
Surely we need to take some precautions before leaving our home. We must be sure that our expectations will be supplied. That is what I did before I chose where I would like to study. I need to agree with you that the USA and UK might be one of the best destinations. Also you need to agree with me that others possibilities are available, especially when you don’t have enough money to go to the ‘famous’ countries.
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago or (T&T) has unique that is found just there. T&T was a Spanish colony from the times of Christopher Columbus to 1802, when it was ceded to Britain. The country obtained independence in 1962, becoming a republic in 1976. Unlike most of the English-speaking Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago's economy is primarily industrial, with an emphasis on petroleum and petrochemicals. It means that T&T has a HDI (0.736) higher than Brazil, a population about 1.300.000 and 98% of the population is literate. If you are looking for a paradise with beautiful beaches, warm people and a unique fauna and flora and at the same time you would like to learn or improve English, T&T will be able to provide that to you.
The Island of T&T has appropriate English Courses. I’m going to study at Austin Learn Centre. It seems to be a very good institution. I’m looking forward that, and I hope I will have an excellent graduation in T&T.
