Ask a native English speaker what an interjection is and you'll probably get a blank look even though most of us use interjections in daily speech dozens of times a day. So what are interjections?
Interjections are used to express strong emotions such as joy, sorrow, excitement, surprise pain, anger, fear and so on. They show our instant reaction and often don't make any sense unless you hear them in context.
Have fun with our quiz and learn which interjections to use and when.

Whilst LSI does offer language classes to younger juniors (6-11 years) at other LSI locations, the LSI Cambridge programme is unique in offering the full programme including accommodation and afternoon activities to students as young as 9. Unsurprisingly the programme proved highly popular. We decided to capture all the fun on video and in photos.

The NZQA is the government agency in New Zealand dedicated to monitoring the quality of education in the private tertiary sector. After a highly successful inspection by NZQA at our Auckland school back in April, LSI is proud to say we have retained our Category 1 status.

An emphasis on providing strong support and pastoral care results in high satisfaction as expressed in student feedback."

The Bay Area Book Festival, the second largest literary festival in the US, takes place every year in May in Berkeley. The streets of the downtown area come alive with book stalls, pop up food outlets, street entertainers and the many indoor and outdoor venues staging over a 100 shows.
Ensuring the smooth running of such a huge event inevitably relies on good community support. Both this year's event organisers and the City Mayor have praised LSI staff and students for the contribution they made towards the successful running of the 2019 festival. For some students volunteering for the festival had an added benefit.

We've created a fun quiz of some of the most common meteorological terms. Find out how just how 'British' you are when it comes to discussing the weather.
