All the teachers are very good, and now I am able to understand people a lot better.

It was my dream since I was a little girl and this year was my chance, so I am very lucky to be able to do that while I am here. With FLS I got to see as well Seaworld, San Diego, go to a Lakers basketball game…. As well every holiday we do a theme party like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas at school so we get to know better the American traditions. All this moments are unforgettable and I will always remember my experiences at FLS. It was the best moments of my life!!

I love them and thanks to them I was able to discover a lot of new traditions and of course improve my English a lot.

They are even excited in the classes like the students. I’ve been here for about 2 weeks and so far I am happy to have chosen Citrus College to study English. What I like in FLS too is the ‘staff assistance’, they are always ready to help and always are polite.

...it’s quiet, and calm. It’s a nice place, near important cities like NYC, Washington, D.C. and Boston, and it’s a good place to improve your English.

Now I have been at FLS three months and I am improving more; this is very positive for myself because before I felt powerless for I couldn’t speak English, but now I can defend myself in English.

Thanks to that, I will always remember that arriving to a country where your language is a minority makes you grow up as a person, makes you assume a challenge to keep moving forward and enter a world full of opportunities.

We came from Lake Balaton, Hungary. When we first arrived at FLS we didn’t speak one word of English. We started in Level 1 with our teacher Thomas Gaspar, who is now our center director. Matt has been our teacher for Level 3 and now for Level 6. We enjoy using American slang that we learned in our Slang classes. We have made many new friends from different countries. When we finish the Advanced English class we will go to the College of Southern Nevada to continue our education.

My teacher was qualified and very cool and I could improve my English.  Host families were very friendly and kind with us, the house was clean and the food was good . . . I enjoyed spending time with the  FLS staff and discovering California, an incredible place with cities like San Diego and Los Angeles and fun places like Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland and Universal Studios.  I'm sure to come back soon!

[They] explained very kindly and clearly. And I like the choice of textbooks.

Sometimes the lessons are challenging and it really helps my vocabulary. I feel I’m learning a lot—not only English language but a lot about American culture too, both in my classes and outside of school. My teachers are friendly and very kind, and they make the classes interesting. I’ve made a lot of good friends here and I’ve been able to meet people from many different countries.

I enjoy[ed] talking with my friend[s] in the class and seeing a lot of students who [are] from foreign countries.

I realized that it was difficult not only to speak English but also to teach something. When I taught them and they repeated my words, I was happy! I enjoyed spending time with American children!

The core class teachers are very helpful.  Elective and core classes are always interesting, informative and fun.  I learn a lot at FLS, and that's great.

The classes are really exciting, the teacher makes us feel comfortable and we can learn more about American culture. I have a busy schedule and the activities are really good. I had a wonderful time last week in Disneyland, Hollywood, and Sea World. It’s really nice to talk to the other students because we can know other countries.

The situation is perfect and we enjoy the perfect environment of the beach which we have a view from the school. I often go to the library because I can work and do my homework. The teachers at FLS are great and I can tell that they really like their jobs, so the atmosphere is so much better to learn English. I already improve my English skills so much since I’ve been here. I am really happy with the different activities that FLS organizes.

The best way to improve my English is to speak with American people like my teachers, my host family and of course the FLS students. "

For the first couple of months into my homestay, I was like a daughter in my host family, and they took me everywhere. We went to Mexico several times, they showed me around the local area, and included me in all family activities.
I got to experience a whole second culture. What I especially remember is all of the family birthday parties I went to. It was fun to see how differently they celebrate this event and how unique their traditions are.

I really learn a lot of useful vocabulary and grammar in my core class. My listening and speaking abilities have also improved a lot.

I am a nurse from Taiwan. The teachers are very good and fun. When I first arrived my homestay Mom was very kind. I’m enjoying FLS Las Vegas. After I finish my studies at FLS, my goal is to go to the College of Southern Nevada and study nursing.

We can enjoy the University sports facilities and use the University library.  I really feel at home here. I highly recommend FLS Lock Haven as a great place to learn English!

The weather was a new experience for me.
