“I’ve always wanted to study abroad. English has been the second language that I wanted to learn for a long time. Also, I really longed to live in America, therefore I searched online for an international language school and applied to EF immediately after reading about it. I chose Miami because the sea view here is so blue and stunning. Every day I am in a very good mood going to school. The teachers are very patient. My classmates and roommates are nice too! I never regretted coming here and will continue to choose EF International Language Courses Abroad in other countries!”
