College of English Language Pacific Beach

I had a good time with all my friends and teachers there. Going to the beach right after school and chill before the sun goes down. That’s our routine in summer. You will also make happy memories either at school or our student residence:)

I attended a General English course for 4 weeks. The first two weeks were ok but the most students weren't that motivated. That's why we couldn't do so much during this time. After two weeks I could level up. Unfortunately, I had in my third week the same topic like in one of my first weeks. So it wasn't a real learning week due to this bad coincidence. In the fourth week, I would have again the topic which I've already had in my first or second week. So I asked to change in the Cambridge course. I'm glad that this was possible so I could learn at least a little bit more in this week. Generally, I don't like the kind of program of this Cambridge course. The reason is you have a Cambridge exercise exam one long morning long and on the other day the correction of it. So you only have 3 days for theory and specific exercises. In the end, I was glad to leave the school and learn more English by doing exercises by myself or watching English videos on Youtube. I think the biggest reason why I'm not happy with this school is because I'm really motivated in learning English and wanted to see progress. For all the young students who want to enjoy and partying there it's a good school. What I appreciated was the big motivation of the teachers.

I have been in C.E.L. since January and that is the best experience in my all life. Before coming in the USA I was kind of scared because of my knowledge of the language which was so bad and my age too. Because of my teachers, all the stuff, and my schoolmates, my English is improved day by day and now I’m feeling comfortable to use it in my everyday life. I have met special people and built good relationships with everyone and this is another gift that I have received from C.E.L. Meeting different cultures and learning together helping to each other was stimulating. I have also shared feelings and emotions. I was happy when someone new arrived and also sad when someone left. For any problem that I had there was someone ready to help and support me. I felt comfortable in small classes enjoyed by students of different ages and from different country. During the lessons we discussed different topics and I was never bored. My progress were checked every week and I was always correct by my teachers who helped me a lot! I have learned new vocabularies and grammar even playing games and having fun. Every moment was an opportunity to improve. I lived with an host family for a while, in an apartment shared with other students and with Americans too. I had the opportunity to explore a big part of California with the activities and the trip that the school organize every week. I have been in Las Vegas, Los angels, Grand Canyon, the desert, Joshua tree, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and I don’t have enough space to write all the beautiful places that California has to offer. I spent here Halloween which was amazing, my birthday and I’m going to spend here thanksgiving and Christmas too. I have decided to continue my studies here in California and I couldn’t have done this without C.E.L. whether it’s two weeks, 3 months, or 1 year experience, I would recommend everyone to try it because it is something of special!
