My husband was transferred to San Francisco. It seems to be good (the salary became much larger, and with his language everything is fine), but at first I felt like a black sheep, because besides "How old are you?" I did not know anything.
E-mailed to the guys from "Smaps", they advised good language courses St. Giles . In general, while Vadim (my husband) earned money, I spent it (although the cost was surprisingly humane). In the end, very, very satisfied. Only two months have passed, and with my pathological inability to speak languages, I can now feel free in shops and on the streets. So the level of training is very decent.
