We provide weekly tests to see the progress you're making with your language skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. We also provide books and other materials.

　　As well as learning English, we want you to experience life in the USA. You live with an American family, and you take part in American life. You have meals with an American family and do some activities with them, too. For many of our students this is the most interesting part of the course. Many families create friendships with the students which last a long time. Of course, if you prefer, we can arrange hotel accommodation.

　　Of course, there are many things to do in Los Angeles. Every day we have activities which take place after class. You can choose to take trips to Hollywood, Disneyland or the famous beaches around LA. You can also go to various shopping centers, sports centers, movies and concerts.

　　Have you ever heard the Edinburgh Festival? It is an international arts festival. Every summer, visitors from all over the world travel to Edinburgh to enjoy the festival. It lasts for three exciting weeks and is full of international performances of opera, theater and dance.

　　The creation and celebration of this festival dates back to 1947, just after the World War II. It was born to encourage, enrich and to give new strength to cultural life in Europe. It was also created to improve international relationships among countries by bringing together the best European performers.

　　The Edinburgh Festival is not only one big festival as most people might think but a group of "small" festivals happening at the same time in the capital of Scotland. They all have their own programmes and you will need different tickets to their own events.

　　Last year, the best artists from China, India, Japan, Korea joined others from all parts of the world in a celebration of the eastern culture. People enjoyed performances of the National Ballet of China and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and many more shows.
