I can still remember my first day in Cincinnati. I was scared and felt lonely. Actually, Cincinnati gave me wonderful things I will never forget my whole life. The first time in my life I saw snow here and it was a special moment. I like three places here; Newport, downtown and the Cincinnati Zoo.

People in Cincinnati are respectful and friendly. I am a Muslim woman and I feel the freedom and safety here.

I have two houses in Cincinnati, my apartment and ELS. ELS is not just a school. It is an amazing place for education, co-operation and love. We are in ELS like one family. My English became better here. ELS has many programs for the development of language. I feel in ELS comfortable. All my questions find their answers in ELS.

Now, I am happy in Cincinnati.

I chose the University of Cincinnati due to the rich history in discovery and research in my major. But, I never expected the hospitality of the city. Every thing is wonderful: the people, the weather and the most important, the ELS. The faculty are the most friendly people I have ever met they are willing to help in any problem. They answer any question I ask about anything, studying, driving lessons, movies, restaurants, furniture, grocery stores, places to travel and so much more. They even join the students in shopping trips. I love the activities of the ELS since they help me relieve the stress of studying and allow me to socialize with different people and enhance my skills.

When I came to the United States, my worst problems were my speaking and writing skills. I couldn't say a whole understandable sentence and I could hardly write a paragraph about a topic. Now, when I speak, people think that I have been living here in U.S.A for years.

I am so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you.

ELS is a really good school. It will help you to learn English very fast. If you would like to learn English, you should choose ELS Tacoma.

Studying at ELS let us meet so many friends from different countries. It was an awesome thing to have friends from various cultures, different thoughts, and appearances from all over the world. We met a Korean sister who has lived in Africa and is going to help people on a mission trip. She had a plan to go to Kenya again and she was studying English in the same class. We respected her life and her passion to study.

There are students from many different countries at ELS St. Louis. Although we're from different countries, we can make really good friends who share and enjoy many things together through many joyful activities.

The teachers at ELS are very friendly and helpful, always willing to help students learn English and the culture of America. We have learned not only grammar but also about a lot of global issues too. I have learned about many controversial problems in both the U.S.A and our countries through our discussions in classes.

In addition, ELS has so many great weekend activities. When we have free time, we enjoy many things like sightseeing downtown, hanging out with friends, and festivals in St. Louis. We had many memorable experiences. St. Louis is not a big city like New York, but we can still enjoy living here and yeah, maybe it's better for studying too. We have been to Chicago, L.A, New York, Boston and Washington D.C. It became an unforgettable memory for us. We highly recommend you guys to travel if you have a chance.

I learned lots of new things about American culture and the world only for joining you guys. The most important thing is all teachers and especially Linda, help me alot. I am really thankful to all who help me to improve my English. All teachers and students are very friendly and helpful. I attended lots of ELS activities which I enjoyed. Attending all activities and taking participation in all activities will help me in UC to become more and more famous and good person.

1st time when I came to America I felt afraid because of my English speaking problem. But now I love the USA. I feel like I can do whatever I want because now I have the ability to speak fluent English. Thank you so much Carol. I made lots of Chinese and Saudi friends at ELS. Still I have some problems with grammar but now I can do anything. I have improved pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Finally, I would suggest to students that if they have a problem with English please join ELS. I am really thankful to all. I will miss all teachers, Carol and all other activities. Please don't forget me!

Hello, my name is Julien, I'm from Belgium. I have been studying at ELS for 6 months. It is a very wonderful experience; you meet a lot of people who come from everywhere in the world. You don't just improve and learn English, but also meet a lot of different people. It is very a good experience for your life. ELS is very a good organization. If you have a problem, they will help you and try to find the best solution for you.

My name is Majed AlGhunaim. I came to ELS from Saudi Arabia. I am in level 105. I enjoy my classes at ELS and I love socializing with everyone. I love basketball and American food. I like to go on every trip ELS offers. I have been to Disneyland, Santa Monica beach and I attend many fun dorm activities like "Friend Speed Dating" and "Multicultural Jeopardy." I have met a lot of university students. I plan to stay at ELS until I can transfer to Cal State University Long Beach where I will continue my studies and play basketball. I practice my English by watching American television and news. I also attend most Conversation Cafe meetings. I really love all my teachers and the books they have given me. ELS is wonderful!

"I studied at ELS Berkeley for 2 months. I appreciate the teachers, all of them. They are good teachers and friendly. I like the building also. It’s comfortable and clean. I think ELS is a high quality school. I can improve my English language skill. If I have chance, I will come back to study in ELS again. If you are looking for a school to study abroad, I suggest to study at ELS. You will get not only good experience but also good friends here."

I have stayed in ELS Center for three months. I really learned and improved a lot here. Teachers are all friendly and all my classmates treat me as their sister. I really appreciate them. I enjoyed my time here. ELS is like a big family and they teach you how to survive in another country. I'm so lucky that I have been here.

Learning English at ELS Santa Cruz was so much fun for me. I studied English for 4 months and I now attend Cabrillo College. The teachers and staff at ELS are so fun, kind and nice. You can also make many international friends, like me. I could also make best friends at ELS.

I think you might worry if you cannot speak English very well, but you don't have to. All students here come to learn English and ELS Santa Cruz's teachers and staff are specialized. Have fun and enjoy your life in the US!

I have gotten to know wonderful people; I'm thankful for having known them. It was a beautiful experience for me. I enjoyed every small thing at ELS Santa Cruz. Thanks for all the work that teachers assigned to me as a student.

Thank you to Allison, she always made me feel at home. To Julia for sharing all her knowledge and experience with me. To Sarah, for riding a bike with me. To Sheila for her charisma. To Gail and her wonderful classes. Also, Martha, Robert, Anna and Rebecca, thanks for putting up with me!

My experience at ELS Santa Cruz was excellent. It was an opportunity that I wouldn't have had in Brazil. The month that I spent here I learned more than in all my classes in Brazil. I wish I could spend more time here.

Shohei

April 30, 2013

Learning a new language is not easy but it is worth it. I studied English for 4 months at ELS Santa Cruz and am now currently attending Cabrillo College. This center is the best place to learn English. The staff are so nice and helpful. You will see their enthusiasm and passion when they are teaching. Going to study abroad in a foreign country can be pretty scary, especially for students who can`t really speak the language. But with ELS Santa Cruz, you don`t really have to worry about that.I would definitely recommend ELS Santa Cruz to anyone who is doing language study in the US.

Taiichi

April 22, 2013

Hi. My name is Taiichi. I came to ELS La Verne from Japan in April 2012. After one year, I have completed my studies at ELS and am transferring to the University of La Verne to begin my MBA program. My goal is to work in the U.S. While I studied at ELS, I volunteered in the office as a student worker and practiced my English by always speaking. This helped me to make American friends and really get familiar with the language. I participated in any activity I could in order to talk with native speakers. I really appreciated the help and from my teachers and the whole ELS staff. They are what make ELS a great place to learn!

Eiko

" I love this ELS for three reasons. First, the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. On the first day I came here, I got scared but the front desk staff's smile reassured me immediately. Our teachers are also amazing. They are always prepared and cheerful. You don't worry about your mistakes. By asking questions, you can get an appropriate answer and your skills will improve. Finally, the students are all motivated and kind. I just love them. Through many activities here, I made many friends from different countries. This school gave me a precious experience. I would like to say thank you for this opportunity."

Hi. My name is Mohammed Alyami. My father, Abdullah and I came to ELS July 2012. My father will return to Saudi Arabia after three more months of study but I will stay here until I pass level 112. My plan is to continue my studies at Cal State Long Beach. It is nice to be studying together with my father. I try to only speak to him in English. I also practice my English by speaking to everyone I meet. Conversation Cafe is a good opportunity to practice English and meet interesting people. I like everything about ELS, especially the people I have met.

Hi. I'm Rina Hayashi. I came to ELS La Verne from Japan September 2012. I really like ELS and I am enjoying the city of La Verne. I like to attend Conversation Cafe and other ELS activities. I went to Knott's Scary Farm in October and I enjoyed Spring Egg Hunt. I like all of my teachers because they are very kind. I study and practice English with my new friends. Once I pass level 109, I will transfer to a city college and continue my studies in America!

Levent

April 12, 2013

Hello everybody!!! My name is Levent Kurt and I'm an international student from Turkey. I've been studying at ELS about two months. I really like being here because ELS provides good opportunities for students to improve their English skills. It is important that discipline plays a crucial role in their education system and it makes education valuable at ELS. Also, you can find yourself attending several activities, such as basketball matches, the rodeo, Main Event, and student clubs. I would like to mention that all the teachers and staff are friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend ELS to international students.

Seungyeon

April 12, 2013

Hi my name is Seungyeon Jang. I am from South Korea. Why did I choose the ELS TACOMA center? I found a quiet place where I can concentrate on studying. Also, I love rainy weather. Tacoma’s weather is very nice. It is rainy but not humid. Also Three day is rainy, Three day is sunny in a week. However, I thought about TACOMA before I came here. Tacoma Will let me experience the United States?. Because Tacoma seemed to be a very small town. However, my expectations were off. There was Mt. Rainier in Seattle, and Portland nearby Tacoma. Also there is the teacher who was born and raised in Tacoma, that way took me to many places after school. We have a lot of extracurricular activities Museum of Glass, Downtown tour, such as bowling tournament. Also, I met good people. Good teachers, advisers, and students. This gave me a lot of influence. If I could not meet like these people, I might transfer to another center. So, I cannot forget this experience and people. I love Tacoma.

Hervé

April 9, 2013

Hello, my name is Hervé. I come from France. I had to improve my English and I have chosen ELS for its professionalism. I had been studying in San Antonio for 6 weeks from February to April. Why San Antonio? Spurs, Spring in Texas, Southern weather!

Another reason was that I would be sure to be the only French student. It was perfect for total immersion. Everyone is so nice here that I’ll be back this summer with my family for another session. Were I you, I would come too. You’ll be surprised by your improvement, trust an old French student. The ELS Staff will stay in my heart. Au revoir et à bientôt (goodbye and see you soon)!

Tatsuya

April 8, 2013

I changed ELS centers because of closing of my ex-center. But choosing Tacoma is my decision. I have heard that Seattle and Tacoma are two of the most beautiful towns in America. I wanted to study in the lively town like Tacoma. Actually, Tacoma is wonderful! Convenient bus network, beautiful scenery, moderate climate, and awesome ELS! I suppose ELS Tacoma focuses on conversation. Teachers lead students to participate in their class actively and make a great effort to make an enjoyable class. Plus, teachers help students get along well. Therefore both classes and activities are really fun! I love ELS Tacoma! Thank you for a splendid experience!

I really enjoyed the classes here. ELS Santa Cruz has the best teachers in the world because they never let us feel bored in class. I'm sure I will miss ELS forever because my teachers are unforgettable.

Diana

It was a pleasure to get to know everyone at ELS Santa Cruz and it is a very good school. The school takes care of all its students and I learned with the teachers' support. I now feel more confident when speaking. I am happy I have improved my English because of ELS.

My name is Yui Shimoyama. I am from Japan. I have been at ELS San Antonio 6 months. When I came here, my English was horrible and I was not confident to talk with other, but I realized we students were all in the same situation. People at ELS have the same purpose of improving English, so there was no pressure. I recommend ELS San Antonio because there are a lot of opportunities to speak English with other exchange students and university students. You will learn English from them.

"Thanks to ELS Berkeley, my English has dramatically improved for six months. ELS is, however, not just the place where we learn English. The greatest thing which I have experienced in ELS Berkeley is the importance of understanding differences. It is not only the differences between cultures but also in each person. The ability to communicate in a common language which we learn is power to understand this difference respectfully. Language is power. Language is love."

Evgeny

March 26, 2013

I decided to come to ELS Santa Barbara because a friend recommended this school. I said that it was the best and that I should come here. The quality of the teaching is good. I only took part in some of the student activities outside of the school but it was good.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful city. I especially like Goleta.

I will miss the life in Santa Barbara. I will miss the nature, how quiet it can be in Santa Barbara and I will miss the ocean. I will miss learning English at ELS Santa Barbara. It was so good. Thank You!

Juan Daniel

March 22, 2013

I came to ELS because I believed that it would give me the tools to accomplish my goals of becoming a successful businessman. I believe I have learned high quality English to open me to the world. The teaching quality is high. I learned how to speak, write, read listen. I feel I understand better.

Socially, I found a lot of opportunities to meet with Americans I improved my English.

Since the first day, I felt welcomed and at home. ELS offered me a wonderful homestay that gave me a lot of opportunities. I learned about American Culture and I discovered the nicest places in California.

I will miss the people I have met... a lot! I like the friendly people, the nice landscapes and safe neighborhoods.

Hello. My name is Ajlan. I am from Saudi Arabia. I came to ELS in February and am in Level 102. I am enjoying my studies and am very happy with my homestay family. They are supportive and help me practice English every day! They are so helpful. I plan to study at ELS until my English is strong enough to study at American university. ELS has very fun activities. I look forward to Conversation Cafe every week!

Yumiko

I have been at ELS for 7 months in Thousand Oaks. When I came here, I could not understand any thing.I could not speak English at all. I was very nervous, wondering if I would be able to understand the classes or not. However, if I could not understand the class, teachers explained me many times and they were very kind about it. After class , I usually go to bonus lab it helps me to improve my English even more. Now, after 7 months, I can understand what the teachers are saying. My English is getting better than before. I have improved my English at ELS. Thank you.

My name is Anggie Gonzales, I am from Peru. I decided to come to the United States and study in ELS at California Lutheran University to improve my English three months ago. This time was amazing because I could enhance my English and I met friendly people. CLU is a comfortable, beautiful and A safe place and you can enjoy studying and knowing more about American culture with people of this country. I'm thinking about transferring from my university in Peru to study here because with this opportunity I could experience and other things. I'm sure that I made an excellent decision to come here.

I am so cheerful to have the opportunity to study at ELS Melbourne. Studying at ELS Melbourne has been one my most marvelous experiences. I am proud to say that all my English skills have been learned at ELS Melbourne, and it has also helped me adapt and integrate into American culture.

"The first day I came to the United States, I was nervous because I couldn't speak English and understood nothing. After one year, I am a person with full confidence. ELS Berkeley center is a fantastic place for students to train their English skills. The teachers in this center have very high quality of teaching English. I made a lot of friends here, and see many customs and cultures. I love here. This center provided me a good time and ability to pursue my goal in the future."

"Studying at ELS Berkeley will be an unforgettable memory for me. Not only have I met many people who come from different countries, but also I have learned how to understand and admire cultural differences. In addition, most of the teachers at ELS are knowledgeable, patient, humorous, and humble. I have thought about and learned insightful concepts from these teachers. Thus, I appreciate ELS providing this great learning environment for all students."

Caroline

March 19, 2013

"ELS is very different from other organizations because everything is there to help you improve your English. All the teachers are very concerned about their students. For me this is the big difference between schools in my country and here. I wonder what is better than learning English with other pupils who are the same age as you? Coming here was a good experience for me regarding my progress in English but also for learning about other cultures and styles of living."

Mohannad Aljamaan & Gabriela Rivero

March 19, 2013

A friendship between a guy from Saudi Arabia and a girl from Venezuela is not something that you would expect to happen regularly, but just like peanut butter and jelly, we make a strangely good combination. Even though our cultures are extremely different, the United States represents a neutral ground and ELS gave us the opportunity to become great friends.

Being together in every class has obviously brought us closer together, but also before this month we did spend a lot of time with each other and other students thanks to the various fun activities that ELS plans for us every session. We not only have fun together but also learn something new about the other person’s culture every day.

Without ELS we would not have had the chance to meet and build this awesome friendship, thus we are really glad to have this experience and we encourage everyone to try it because you will not only learn English but you will also learn about different cultures, traditions and have the opportunity to spend time with new interesting students from all around the world.

March 18, 2013

I decided to come to ELS because I heard that it has a more complete teaching program and the level of evaluation that ELS supports can help me get into some universities. I like that each teacher has a different style of teaching me. There are many social activities at ELS Santa Barbara. Lisa gives us many fun activities each month.

I liked living in the student residence. The housekeeper was very nice and I can have my freedom. Santa Barbara is a beautiful city and you can feel like you can relax. The beautiful beaches and the friendly people are some other reasons why I would chose Santa Barbara. Oh, and downtown is very convenient to shop for many products.

Po Hsun

March 18, 2013

I decided to come to ELS Santa Barbara because I like the city and I like the system of education. I think it's good for students to have small classes where they can communicate with the teacher and classmates easily. The student services are very good and helpful. I liked the student residence. Most of my teachers are friendly and helpful.

There are so many things I like about Santa Barbara. For example, just feeling relaxed, slower pace of life, beaches and friendly people.
I will miss everything about Santa Barbara. It was a good experience in my life.

“Before I came to ELS, I had a problem which was a lack of my self-confidence. All teachers and ELS staff have always assisted me to express myself and to improve my English since my first day. They are also smiling at all the students all the time. Thanks to their help and my effort, day by day I overcame all my problems which I had before. In addition, every month ELS Berkeley prepares a schedule which consists of activities. I participated in most of them and they were very fun and helpful to make conversation with people. If I had a chance to choose a language school, I would choose ELS Berkeley again.“

Good bye everyone. I'll never forget what you did for me. Thank you so much!"

I have been studying at ELS Melbourne for three months, but it only feels like one or two days. I remember being a little nervous on my first day, but everyone talked to me and asked me if I needed help. ELS Melbourne works as a family.

The teachers are very helpful, and I love my classes. The teachers have a great way of explaining things to make sure we understand what is being taught.

I have a lot of friends at ELS Melbourne. We eat lunch together, go out on the weekends, and help each other with homework.

If you want to study English, ELS Melbourne is the best place. I love ELS Melbourne, and Mrs. Betty Jean!

In addition, ELS provides us with many interesting activities, such as Universal’s Islands of Adventures, and the beach party. These activities also helped me make a lot of friends and improve my English skills.

I can’t help appreciating ELS Melbourne! I want to continue doing my best and want everyone to see my English improvements before I go back to Japan.

I have been studying at ELS for three months. Within these months, I have improved my English and made friends. ELS Grand Forks prepares so many exciting indoor and outdoor activities such as ice skating, swimming, movies, and so on. The teachers and administration are so friendly to the students. ELS Grand Forks is a great place to learn English in effective ways.

Monica

March 1, 2013

“Good morning!” That is what I said the first time I came here, just this. When you arrive in a place, letting all of you in your native country, you feel shy, lost and alone, but everything quickly became what I expected all my life of this experience. ELS Santa Monica is a little school, so everyone knows each other and when you begin to introduce yourself to the other students you discover that everybody is in the same situation and it is at that point you begin to just enjoy your “new life.” Not only the students are very friendly, but the staff is awesome also. If you have a problem super-Julie and wonder-Lauren are always ready to listen to you and especially to help you! I am not in my country but I already miss everything of ELS and Santa Monica, the sunny day, Nicole singing in the corridor, Patrick’s laugh and a lot of other things (the list is too big to tell everything).

My mother told me when I was sad my first days: “Now you want to come home, but at the end you will stay there. We cry two times: when we arrive and when we leave.” It is what happened to me, I loved a lot ELS and Santa Monica that I can’t stop crying because I have to leave.

Now it is time to go home, and I want to finish telling everybody a big “THANK YOU and GOOD-BYE!”

Tamaki

February 25, 2013

Last week, ELS San Francisco North Bay had an unexpected guest - a former Japanese student visiting his roots here in San Rafael and saying goodbye one last time to friends and family here in San Francisco.

ELS: So why are you back here in San Rafael?

Tamaki: I just graduated from University of La Verne, and have three weeks off until I go back to Japan. I wanted to say bye to the staff, teachers and my host family here. I also wanted to drive the west coast again on Route 1 before I left.

ELS: What was your first impression of ELS here in San Francisco-North Bay?

Tamaki: The campus is very nice and the people are very friendly. I was able to meet a lot of new students and learn quickly about American culture.

ELS: What was your favorite memory while here?

Tamaki: My favorite memory was Halloween. This was the first time I dressed for the occasion and found it really funny that EVERYONE dressed up, even the teachers.

Kim

February 20, 2013

I really like Grand Forks and ELS. Grand Forks is a small city, so it’s very peaceful and safe. It’s really good for students, especially girl students. I think this ELS center isn’t too big, so teachers and students are more familiar and have a good relationship. Also, every teacher always tries to help their students. In addition, I have a really nice host family. I’m a part of my American family and they’re a part of my Korean family. We just love each other and we do many things together, such as go to hockey games and big holiday parties. It’s really helpful to adapt to a new country.

ELS Santa Cruz was an awesome experience for me. I learned a lot of English and made friends for my whole life. The teachers are well prepared and make the classroom a comfortable place to learn English. I enjoyed it a lot!
