Many
people have found that "classroom English" is very different
from
"conversational English" - they have trouble speaking
even after years of
study. We will help you learn how to communicate clearly
outside of the
classroom with our small, friendly and informal classes.
CLASSES INCLUDE:
Conversation
Vocabulary Expansion
Listening Skills
Idioms in English
Pronunciation
Levels of Formality
Cultural Information
Grammar Rules
(for
lower level classes)
Field trips
Access to special events!
Our teachers are interested in different cultures, and
students come from all over the world. This makes our
classes a great place to meet people from other countries
and learn about American culture. Students can participate
in field trips, extra-curricular activities and have
opportunities to meet with conversation partners. They
are also eligible to attend International House film
and concert events and trips for free or at discounted
rates.
