Most English speaking countries in the world now have an English language industry. Barbados is a new destination for a language school but in many ways it is a tropical version of England.
Barbados is an English speaking country which gained independence from Britain in 1966. The first British settlers arrived in 1627 so for over 300 years there was a fusion of British and African cultures and traditions. Barbados has even been described as "Little England". Place names are reminiscent of England's south coast and the legal, education and political systems owe much to the British influence.
