Testimonio GGE, Kaplan Aspect Auckland

December 1, 2007 By Shane Ball Leave a Comment


I’m Gabriel, I’m 30 years old and a lawyer from Manizales Colombia. I have been in Auckland, New Zealand for 8 weeks pursuing a course in English language at Kaplan-Aspect.

This experience has been pleasant for me. I had many expectations about this course and Auckland City, and really it’s exceeded my desire.

I found Study New Zealand to be the best consultancy and I don’t have any problems; on the contrary, every day I think that it has been a good investment for my life.

I have met people from al over the world; at Kaplan-Aspect Auckland there are students from more than 26 different nationalities. This experience isn’t possible to find in many countries, moreover, it’s invaluable, to be able to speak and to know other cultures and customs.

At present, I live in Huia Residence, which is a big comfortable building, people from all over the world live there, whether students, workers and other citizens.

Also, I can practice my knowledge speaking with my neighbour.

Testimonio MBG; Kaplan Aspect Auckland

November 5, 2007 By Shane Ball Leave a Comment



I chose to come to Auckland in New Zealand because I have to learn English, and I was looking for a different, beautiful and peaceful place. Here I can find everything and more, because the people are amazing and very friendly with the foreigners.

I am studying English in the Kaplan Aspect school. The teachers are very qualified, the place is comfortable and I have good material for my learning. Here I am meeting people from all over the world.

In Colombia I had consultancy with Study New Zealand. This company was always with me, since I began my search, during all the process of acceptance in the school, getting my visa, finding accommodation in Auckland, and now they are ready if I have any question or suggestion. With Study New Zealand I have different institutions to study English.

I am happy about my decision; it is a great experience for my life. Auckland is a marvelous city; I can always see the sea, I love this!! And I can travel to islands, beaches, mountains, lakes, thermal waters and others; all near here. And I can practice different extreme sports. There are many regional parks, I can go there in a bus or rent a car, it is cheap. I have access to different libraries in Auckland, which is important for my study and free time.

Auckland offers many places if I want to go shopping….and I like the night life, because it is fun but secure. I live in Huia residence. I like this place because I have everything here, it is near to school and to the centre, and I always walk to these places.

This is my experience in Auckland. I hope to experience more things and learn English.
