 I like ESLI. Most of all I like my classes. To learn English is good. I don't know how good my English skill is. However, I'm ok because I have only been here one month. I like my classes. Grammar is very useful and interesting. I'm weak in writing. Other classes are listening, speaking, reading and intensive skills. I hope to get more English skill. My teachers at ESLI help me to do that. I'm good in ESLI. Kim, Myung Eun - Korea Why should you study at ESLI? "We can meet a lot of people and become friends forever. When I started the program, I thought English was a difficult language to learn. But the teachers taught me everyday with new concepts, which made the experience much easier. The program opened doors for me to communicate with not only Americans, but also with the people around me."
