We recently published a new video to our Q Language Hong Kong YouTube channel in which Richard Ford, a popular member of our English teaching team, gives a short overview of what students who enrol on one of our Private (one-to-one) or Intensive English Courses can expect when they come to study English with us here in Hong Kong.
You can watch the video below or, if you prefer, follow this link to watch it on YouTube.
The video includes English subtitles, but we have also copied the transcript for you to read below.

Hello everyone, and welcome to this first Q Language Google Hangout. Today we are going to give you a brief overview of what it is like to come to Hong Kong and study English.
I will be talking about:
1. The type of English classes we offer for our students.
2. What kinds of student accommodation we can arrange for you in Hong Kong.
3. Our free Hong Kong student visa service.
4. Typical activities that you can enjoy in Hong Kong.
The Type of English Classes We Offer For Our Students
So, let’s first take a look at the English courses you can find here at Q Language.
You can find Intensive English courses (General or Business English) for 15 to 24 hours per week in group classes of max. 8 students. The schedule has many options to suit your preferences.
You can choose morning or afternoon lessons from Monday to Friday. You can also change some or all of your group classes to private 1:1 English lessons.
This is great for studying for specific exams, such as the TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS, or for preparing for university entrance, job interviews, or anything else you wish!
Lessons are held in our Central Hong Kong Island Centre. You will take classes with students from all over the world. At the moment, there are 25 different nationalities here, ranging in age from 16 to 65.
In keeping with Hong Kong’s high-tech image, the library offers free Wi-Fi, student PCs, and a range of audiovisual supporting materials.
And don’t worry about your current English level. Upon arrival, you will take a pre-course assessment with one of the native-English speakers. This will
then tell us which class and schedule is right for you. Our levels are from zero (beginner) to 8 (high-advanced).
Student’s Extra-Curricular Activities in Hong Kong
Of course, you will also have some free time in Hong Kong, so here at Q Language, we make sure you can enjoy a whole range of extracurricular activities. These include eating and drinking at the amazing local restaurants and cafes, with special parties organised by Q Language staff.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, you can take part in boating, hiking or sports events. For those seeking some culture, just go to the museums and heritage trips to learn so much about Hong Kong’s rich and varied history. And don’t forget, this will also be a great way to improve your English in natural surroundings!

Hong Kong Student Visa Service
Another important service Q Language offers is our student visa support.
You only need to email us your application and documents.
The Q Language visa team processes the visa and then issues it to you directly.
No visits to consulates or interviews are needed for our students.

Student Accommodation in Hong Kong
Many of you must wonder about accommodation in this big, busy city. I’m sorry, but you won’t be staying in luxury palaces or mansions here. What you can find, though, are convenient, fully-equipped Serviced Studios very close to our Centre.
Shops, restaurants, and transportation are a few minutes’ walk away. If you prefer to stay with families, our home-stay service will place you with English-speaking households. Live like a Hong Konger!
Now, Hong Kong has a high density, which means everyone lives close to each other. But this, in turn, means everything you ever want to buy, see, eat, or drink can be found easily. You can go hiking in the morning, to the beach at lunchtime, or partying in the evening. Hong Kong’s fantastic transportation will take you anywhere quickly and cheaply.
