Description
We are an English Center/language school in Balkhash Kazakhstan. We're passionate about providing quality language learning experiences to both kids and adults in Balkhash.
With Balkhash being quite remote from the major cities of Almaty and Astana language students here have very few opportunities to meet native English speakers face-to-face but it never stops them from doing their best.
We're proud of our students, our staff, and our beautiful lake, Balkhash. You should come and see it for yourself.

My name is Mansur. I am a teacher and represent the Center of Balkhash in Kazakhstan. We would like to have native English speakers come and stay with us here. We need help with just coming to our classes of different levels, speaking with the students, as well as spending time with our teachers and students outside of class.
We're willing to host somebody for as little as two weeks and as long as 3 months. We would provide accommodations. You will be staying with me at a 2 bedroom apartmnent. You'll have your own bedroom. Or you can choose to live Victor, our adult student, who lives in a spacious modernt house with Lena, his wife, who is also a part of our team here in Balkhash.
All our teachers and students are eager to meet you and learn about you, and study English with you. If you have a heart for teaching English, we're looking forward to hosting you.
If you want to stay in KZ for more than one month, you'll have to leave the country and go to Bishkek for a day or two after 30 days. There, we can also meet you and host you with Anna, the founder, who now lives in Bishkek.

We here speak Russian and Kazak. English is commonly used by the staff members and our students. We also enjoy learning new languages - among them are German, Turkish, Korean and Spanish.
Hébergement
During the cold months of the year, you can stay in your room with me at the apartment or have a big room at the house with Victor and Lena. During the summer months, you can choose to stay at a summer house (for more privacy) and dine with Victor and Lena in the big house.
Autres infos...
There is not much to do in our city, but you can always find somebody willing to hang out with you either at home or at a cafe. We have a museum and a movie theater, but our lake is undoubtedly a magnet, especially during the summer.
The true gem of the city, though, is the lake. You can truly appreciate it in the spring, summer, and fall.
The town is quite small. One can reach most places on foot. The taxi in any direction is no more than 1.5 USD.
