The English Language Program is very special to me. I enjoyed improving my English. I could not imagine that I could speak, listen, or read in English before I came here. Although I was very bad at any language when I was in my country, my English improved a lot faster than I ever thought. Of course all the teachers that have taught me are great. They are very nice to all the students and I have never felt hesitation in asking any questions. The subjects they bring us in the classes are always so interesting that I don't really feel I am studying English intensively.

After classes, we had hangout time and tutoring. There, I have a chance to practice my English by playing speaking games with students from other levels and discussing many kinds of topics. Through this opportunity I now know opinions from different countries and I learned skills to express my opinions in English. We also volunteered sometimes and experienced social life in this country. Once a month, we had a field trip to places such as Universal Studios or famous historic downtown St. Augustine. We all enjoyed our trip and at the same time, made a lot of friends from different countries. Since the students' cultures are different from each other's, we had a lot to talk about. The faculty in this school is also very friendly that I feel free to talk with them any time I need help. It is lucky that I can experience life as an international student in such an exciting way. I am having a great time learning English here. I feel very thankful to this wonderful school.
