  • Hello guys

  • My name is Marina

  • You basically watch this because you're watching my Youtube channel

  • Okay guys

  • I'm here with my lovely host

  • Ketlin owns this place

  • She welcomes students from all over the world

  • And not only students, tourists as well

  • From all over the world in her home

  • And you have seen some parts of it

  • I just want to ask Ketlin about her experience

  • How long have you been doing this?

  • When I got this house, I decorated it

  • 2012 when I started

  • doing that and it's been great

  • How many students have you had so far?

  • I didn't count

  • More than 10 anyway, I think

  • Maybe 15, 20, I suppose

  • How long do they stay?

  • That varies. Sometimes for 2 weeks

  • Sometimes they stay for 6 months

  • Wow, you had a student for 6 months

  • How was it living together for 6 months?

  • I've been lucky and had really lovely people

  • It's been a great pleasure

  • stay in touch with them

  • What about their language skills?

  • Do you have any students who come and don't speak English?

  • Any difficulties?

  • I haven't had much problem with that

  • they've been studying, doing serious studies

  • like Ms and it can help with their English a bit

  • And I think your accent is really easy to understand

  • I hope so

  • You speak really slowly

  • It's good for those who are not English

  • Let's talk about the location

  • I can tell it takes

  • about 25 minutes to get to my school

  • which is in the central London

  • It's fantastic here for getting around

  • to all different areas

  • We've got many many buses

  • And one or two different tube stations

  • within easy reach

  • It's very good

  • You don't realise until you here how good it is

  • And people always comment on it

  • It's a great location

  • Do you help students in their first day?

  • I ask them where's the college?

  • And how they're going to get there

  • and everything

  • In terms of food, do you provide breakfast

  • or can students book breakfast and dinner?

  • It can be either

  • Here's the lovely backyard

  • I was wondering, some students ask us

  • what do they have to bring with them

  • Bedlinen, towels?

  • That's all provided

  • Sleepers are good because

  • It's no shoes house

  • Okay

  • All the bedlinen and the towels are provided

  • Can they cook?

  • Not really

  • They can do minimum cooking

  • because there many people

  • and someone's going to come and make cakes

  • But like microwaving food?

  • They can microwave but

  • it's quick and sometimes

  • I make a meal and invite people

  • That's so nice

  • Tell us about recycling

  • because some countries like Russia, we don't do recycling

  • When people come here they need to follow certain rules

  • like recycling

  • The counselor in the area is strict about it

  • We have to put paper and plastic bottles

  • in the recycling bin

  • And we have to rinse them as well

  • Yeah

  • And other staff goes into landfill

  • That goes in a different bin

  • It's good thing

  • because it's for the ecology

  • to preserve the world for the future

  • inhabitants

  • Yeah, that's right

  • And also save water and electricity

  • Yeah

  • Maybe you can say something for future students

  • I like to have a nice atmosphere in my home

  • I like people to be happy when they stay here

  • I always like to keep good relatioships

  • They should tell me if there's something that not making them happy

  • And I should be able to do the same

  • We can all be happy

  • I just want to invite you to stay here

  • because I really enjoy it

  • I really like travelling

  • to central London which is quick

  • I really like the atmosphere at home

  • So if you want to stay in central London

  • book Ketlin's home

  • This is our bathroom

  • We have a private bathroom

  • Here's all my make-up

  • And the mirror

  • And I like that light

  • It's coming from here so I can do make up
