Student Profiles
Pablo Vahos, Colombia
RMIT English Worldwide
Pablo is a Computer Engineer from Colombia who has been studying the English for Academic Purposes program at RMIT English Worldwide (REW), Melbourne. After a lot of research, he chose Melbourne as his study destination because he had heard so many good things about Melbourne. "I needed to take the best option and in the end it was Melbourne. I like Melbourne to study and live." Pablo has enjoyed his studies at REW. "I used everything - the free conversation classes, activities, I think the online material is very, very good too, I think that the best part is the writing." The writing classes are helpful and he will use the information learnt to prepare documents and reports when he returns to work. Pablo had teachers from a variety of backgrounds - Australian, American, English and Maltese, so experienced a good range of accents. He thought this helped him to understand different pronunciation and the vocabulary used, especially when he deals with colleagues and clients from different nationalities at work. The opportunity to learn about the culture and traditions of his classmates was also very interesting.
