Schlussbemerkungen: Meine vierwöchige Sprachreise nach Honolulu war für mich ein einmaliges Erlebnis, das ich so schnell nicht vergessen werde! Der American Explorer Kurs an der ELS Honolulu hat mir sehr viel Freude bereitet und mein Englisch wieder auf Vordermann gebracht. Trotzdem hatte ich noch genug Zeit um mir die Vielfalt der hawaiiansichen Inseln anzusehen. Schulaktivitäten wie z.B. Bodyboarden machen sehr viel Spaß und bringt Menschen aus aller Welt zusammen!
Die Beratung und Betreuung vor Abreise wie auch während der Reise waren sehr gut! Keine Frage blieb unbeantwortet!
Alles in allem: Am liebsten würde ich gerade nochmal fahren!

I like to study at ELS because it is a friendly and warm atmosphere. The contents of the English program are clear and organized. Also I think that one of the best parts at ELS is the teachers. The teachers are polite, respectful, and most importantly reliable. The students can always ask for help and they will not give you the solution, they will teach you how you can find it. I love to study at ELS, and it has become my second home.

Hi, my name is Alice. I'm from Gabon. I have been at ELS DeKalb at Northern Illinois University for a month. It is a great experience. First of all I was afraid to talk with other people, but by the time, I discovered them, they were very cheerful and kind to me. We did a lot of interesting activities like playing football, visiting the haunted house, discovering American culture etc. Also, teachers are very good and fascinating. To finish, the environment in NIU DeKalb is very beautiful with animals and trees etc. The students are open minded and able to help us if needed. I recommend to everyone to have the same great experience I have had in ELS DeKalb at Northern Illinois University.

Studying at ELS Santa Cruz was a great pleasure for me. The teachers were very good and lovely people. During my 3 months, I could improve my English and have a good time in this city. Santa Cruz is a welcoming city and I could visit many beautiful places and beaches. I really enjoyed the organic food, local music and the nature. It was much more than my expectations!!! Oh!! And if you want to feel like a S.C. native, you should buy a bike!!!

My name is Iviriss and I am from Angola- Luanda. I am 24 years old. I came to the US for the first time in October of 2009 while on vacation. After my vacation, I went back to where I was studying, in Warsaw, Poland, where I kept thinking about finishing my studies. After I had a conversation with my parents, I decided to move to the US. Before I came, I thought that I spoke pretty good English, but as soon as I got here, I noticed that my English wasn't good enough to get accepted into a university. Then I started studying by myself but I was still afraid to talk to people. I wasn't confident about myself. My boyfriend came up with an idea. He found ELS on the campus of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). He talked to an adviser about going to CSN but decided that it would be great if I started first at ELS.

The first day of class was just OK because I was a little bit afraid to interact with everybody. With time, I started to be more open and really enjoyed the classes. The teachers played a big role in my life showing me that I am able to learn English by just being myself. They made me believe again in myself , which made me get better and better in my English skills. It was after 2 months that I was able to pass the English test, which allowed me to get into the college. I was really happy with my progress but I was also sad because I knew that it was time to leave the ELS family. I learned a lot with ELS and took advantage of it.

My English is really good now, but I still have to improve more. I am really happy with the program at ELS. Thanks to the ELS family, I improved my English, I learned a lot with everybody and most important was that I made friends forever with students from all around the world. I will always have you guys in my heart!

Do you want to experience real English? Are you hesitating about what school you should choose for improving English? If so, the answer to those questions is ELS in Cleveland, Ohio. I have studied English at ELS in Cleveland for about 10 months. Before I chose this center as a study place for 1 year, I also thought of a lot of possible choices and considered about it over and over as you may do the same. My decision was not wrong; it was the greatest choice ever. Why? First reason is the location. Cleveland center is located in a clam and peaceful city, Cleveland, in Ohio.

The campus where ELS is situated is surrounded by fabulous nature and a lot of well-known cultural places such as the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. You will be able to improve your English skill at ELS as well as with the famous museums through visual learning. In addition, you can get together with native students who go to the host university, Case Western Reserve University, and make a variety of friends either at the ELS school, or around the university campus. What I think the best thing the Cleveland center has is the people's kindness. Not only are all the teachers kind, thoughtful and generous, but the staff working in the offices always take care of students and give warm hands to help them not get in trouble with unfamiliar American life.

When it comes to teachers and curriculum of ELS, both of them are well harmonized with professional abilities of teachers and helpful textbooks. Especially, long experienced teachers always encourage students to keep on the track of studying English and cheer them up through constant feedback. As a matter of fact, I am not perfect at English right now, and still need to improve, but I have gotten so much confidence and I will be able to continue to study English based on teaching of ELS. If you start studying with ELS Cleveland, I am 100% sure you will be fully satisfied with your choice and you will overcome the fear of learning a foreign language. ELS Cleveland is the key which introduces you to a new world and enables you to achieve your goal more easily.

My 3-week program was very exciting. I really enjoyed life in Houston. My homestay host family was very nice and hospitable to me. The ELS teachers were very nice and my personal teacher was dedicated. Every day, she gave me a lot of homework. Sometimes it was tough for me; especially the essays, because my vocabulary was not very good. All of the ELS staff was very friendly and kind. I’d like to say “Thank you for your support you gave to me!!”

I love the city of Portland. The weather is really nice and the people here are friendlier than in other big cities I’ve visited. When I came to ELS I had zero English, but now my English has really improved! The teachers here help me with anything and I think the class schedule is perfect. My Reading and Writing, and Structure and Speaking classes teach me everything I need to know. I plan to finish ELS level 112, and then study for my Masters degree in the United States.

I am so excited and glad to study at ELS Language Centers. In my personal opinion, I think that ELS has given me the opportunity to improve and learn my English in a very interesting way. Furthermore, throughout these months that I have been studying at ELS, I have noticed that my English language is getting better everyday. On the other hand, I feel very grateful to the teachers because they have helped me to dominate and comprehend the English language in a very satisfactory way. I will feel sad when I have to leave ELS. Finally, I think that this a great experience for you if you want to study English in another country.

Hi, my name is Cleyton Kano, I'm from São Paulo, Brazil. I went in December of 2009 and studied until Beginning of 2010. I stayed there just a month, and studied at level 7. And everything in Miami was so amazing. I had the great opportunity to live the Christmas season, through Christmas Carol, that was awesome. And lots of experience I could learn during this trip. And also, I made some new friends that will last forever.

The institution presents excellent teachers with lots of experience and dynamic methods that makes it easier to learn. Thus I could improve all four essential skills to an effective communication: the audition comprehension, reading, speaking and written. Remember, a foreign experience is something that makes a difference as professional, personal and academic. And if you want to study abroad, you can trust in ELS, they are very organized and take care of many things. So good luck and don't forget, enjoy the maximum of each moment, each experience and you must be disciplined in studies and do your best. And thanks to all my friends that I made at ELS. And here I finalize wishing a good luck to everybody who will study abroad.

I love the life here in Ruston every day. I had a great time in ELS Ruston and I really appreciate daily life here and all of my teachers here. I had a fantastic time during that corn maze day. It was really a special experience that I have ever had. I feel like I am at home in ELS Ruston and everything here is really amazing.

The most important thing is (that) I can practice English and make a big progress here because there are few people who speak Chinese in Plymouth.

I decided to come to ELS Teaneck because I have family living near the center. At first, I was a little worried – new school, new teachers, new house, and new country. However, my first day here, I felt something special. I love the teachers, the new friends from different countries, the trips to New York, the parties for new students. I feel like these “new” people are like a family. If you need help, they help you. I f you have a problem; they do everything to solve it. The most important thing is they really know how to improve your English. I suggest that everyone come here and see how great this family is!

I came to ELS/Orlando because I wanted to improve my English. I wanted to have more fluency in the language. When I first arrived here, I was sure that I made the best choice. All the teachers and office staff were always helpful when I needed them. I have to talk about great friends that I made; friends with totally different cultures studying at ELS for me was like a dream come true. It is an experience that everybody should have.
