Description: The U.K.'s contribution to world culture is huge, from Shakespeare to the Beatles to your native language. But don't think you're fluent in 'English.' You'll be surprised at how different our languages and cultures can be. You may find yourself talking about netball, snooker, and chips (basketball, pool, and French fries). Come see for yourself what 'Cool Britannia' is all about. AFS U.K. hosts more than 130 students from 18 countries each year.
