The “land of opportunity” – who’d want to miss out on visiting it? This huge land mass, with its forty-eight states, is truly multicultural and diverse in numerous ways. From thick forests, massive rivers such as the Mississippi–Missouri, prairies, the Rocky Mountains, icebergs in Alaska, volcanoes, deserts and the Grand Canyon, to the paradise of Hawaii, buzzing cities of New York and San Francisco, and the glamour of Hollywood… the list of attractions and wonders to be discovered in the United States of America is simply endless.


And what better excuse to enjoy some of these than to learn English, the de facto national language? While in the US you could learn how the English accents vary from state to state, and maybe see some of the sights made famous by countless movies made there. Indeed, you may feel as though you already know North America after seeing so many of its films… but here’s one fact you probably weren’t aware of: according to the U.S. Geological Survey, 140 towns and cities in the United States contain the word “Christmas” in their name. Awesome!


The most effective and yet most exciting way to learn English or further your existing knowledge of it is to take an English course abroad. English study abroad programs in the USA are very popular because this language is spoken by hundreds of millions of people and, during an era of internationalization and globalization, it is becoming increasingly important in people’s private and professional lives.


The United States are a classic choice among English course locations. American English is spoken here, although this, too, has variations; learn about them during one of our English courses in the USA! You will be surrounded by the language during your course and will therefore learn more effectively and be able to make more rapid progress.


While learning English you can have an exciting holiday and enjoy unforgettable experiences as you immerse yourself in the interesting American culture and get to know about local traditions and idiosyncrasies.


Our English schools are located in the states of Florida, California and New York. Here in the land of opportunity, you are guaranteed not to get bored! While learning English for four to six hours per day, you can experience firsthand the “American Way of Life”.
