Build business for whole your life

Pare is one of a village in kediri. this known as "kampung Inggris" because there's a lot of english course, maybe it's more than 30 english course here.  i have known about this place several years ago, and just interested to came here several months ago. Actually my old brother has came here. he told me much about this place but i don't interest at all at that time.

Several months ago i took my career break, after waste all of my time at home i decided to learn english in Pare, my english skill is not really bad. i do really love to learned english while i was in school but in fact i'm not confident to use it. I really want to have fluent english. i don't need to think about the vocabularies, the grammer, and the correct pronounce that's what i called Fluent. so I'm here to sharpen my english.

First month in Pare i took english course in Marvelous, i know about it from my friend who ever studied there and i found in google that its one of the best english course in pare. my first week in marvelous, well i got disapointed, it is out from my expectation. I payed IDR 700K for 4 lesson + 2 study club and it's include the camp (the place for we live). btw i went there with my cousin. after we registered we went to the camp to see how our room looks a like and we got surprised that the unexpected room We got small room with a tiny mattress for 4 person, then we decide to rent a room outside and we dont get our money back for camp charge. btw the male camp is worse than girl camp.

Our class room in marvelous is also annoying, we studied in small room with grey whiteboard & broken fan. btw the weather in pare is really hot, its even more hot than in jakarta. everyone heres use to protect their skin if you don't wanna have "zebra skin" i mean "belang" in bahasa.

From 4 lessons (Pronounce, Vocabulary, grammar, speaking) + 2 study club i got there. the pronounce class is the best, the teacher is ms. Lia, she is younger than me, well i never get any pronounce class before, so this is something new. she teachs us to read a vonetic simbol in oxford dictionary & how to spell it well. it works too much, because lot of my friend who has jawa & makassar accent can fix their pronounce.
In vocabulary class we learn about vocab and idiom then we have to remember all of the vocabularies & idiom because in the end of week there will be an exam. In grammar class, we learn grammar from basic like tenses, auxilarry, modal & etc. The last is speaking class, oh i really hate this class. The teacher is ex student of marvelous who only has studied for 3 months. I didn’t catch everything what she said, it’s not clear and i think her english is terrible. Even this crazy teacher gave us to play “drama” for the last exam.
The conclusion, this english course is not the best one, it’s not serve the students well, the bad class, the messy camp, the broken fan, unexperience teacher. The good thing that i can recommend from this place that it has good pronounce class. sadly they don't offer a program but in a package like i told you before.

Like i said, i really dissapointed with the facilities in marvelous. my friends has told the owner, Mr. Tan to fix the facilities but he just answered "we don't sell facility, we sell the knowledge". oh come on, which one knowledge? huh. btw, you build a business for whole your life not only for 3 or 5 years, go out and take a look arround pare, see hows every english course build their english course and serve the "customers".
