ネイティブスピーカーのように話せるようになりたい！

パラダイスのように素晴らしい街です！学校の友達と一緒に毎日楽しく生活しています。

最高です！講師やスタッフはとてもフレンドリーで良い方々ですし、学校の隣に大きなショッピングモールがあるので買い物もできるし、週末は学校の友達と一緒にビーチに遊びに行くことができます。

私の留学の目的は、アメリカの大学を卒業することです。約3億7500万人の人たちが世界中で母国語として英語を話し、約7億5千万人の人たちが第二言語として英語を話すので、英語は世界で最も使われる言語だと考えると、英語を学び、使えるようになることは、今とても重要だと思うからです。

サンディエゴでの生活は私にとって、とても楽しく充実しています。私は友達とみんなでアパートをシェアしているので、友達同士で助け合いながら生活しています。

私はHIAの先生達にとても満足しています。HIAに来る前よりも明らかに英語力が上がりました。私は言いたいこと言えるように、書きたいことが書けるようになってきました。そして聞いたことも殆ど理解できるようになりました。
特にアカデミックライティングのクラスでは、テープやCD、インターネットを利用して、英語の文章や会話を理解しなければならないので、とても英語力が上がったと思います。更に新聞などの一般的、または特殊なトピックなども理解しなければなりません。
大変ですが、HIAでの残りの期間も英語の勉強を継続的にがんばりたいと思います。

私の留学の目的は、他の国の留学生とコミュニケーションを取れるようになり、アメリカの四年制大学に編入することです。そして最終的にはアメリカで働きたいと思っています。

サンディエゴはとても気候が良いですし、綺麗なビーチにフレンドリーな人々がいて、本当に素晴らしい環境です。私はホームステイをしていますが、ファミリーはとても良い方々なのでずっとサンディエゴで生活したくなります。

HIAは私の将来を変えてくれました。留学当初は3月に日本に戻る予定だったのですが、HIAが提携しているアメリカの二年制大学に、このプログラムを通じて編入することができました。
そしてHIAの学生はみな真剣に英語の勉強をしているので、私の英語力を高める良い刺激になりました。初めはクラスメートと英語で話すことにとてもナーバスになっていましたが、今では英語を話すことに自信が持てるようになりました。

To improve my spoken English.

Great! San Diego is very nice, there are a lot of beaches and a lot of place to go at night. And people here are so friendly!! I recommend studying here!!

It is a very good experience. Teachers here are really qualified and Englsih classes are never boaring! At HIA I met a lot of people coming from all over the world. And I have a really good time  with them!!

I wanted to learn English and meet international people at the same time.

San Diego is a very beautiful and big city. There are a lot of interesting places. Also, during the summer, the weather is very sunny and hot, so you can go to the beach and have fun.

It’s great. I’ve met a lot of people, who came here from all over the world. You have the possibility to know other cultures and open your mind.

My principal goal is to be fluent in English.

I stay at Studio 819 and like it because it has a good location, it’s near the bus stop, market and a lot of restaurants. The city is very good too.

I like HIA because I have a lot of friends, the class is fun and I learn English with a positive feeling.

My goal for study abroad is to get a degree of “Animal Health Tech” in college.

I have been living in this city for several years. I can say that my stay in San Diego is even better than my expectations. I’m seriously in love with this city. I think it’s the best one that California can offer.

I consider my experience in HIA fairly positive. I’m practicing grammar which for me is always a weak point, and I’m studying new vocabulary that I didn’t know.

It is my ultimate goal to learn the culture of America and the economic system through U.S. life. Now, the world is in a major recession. The U.S. is in the same situation. I am studying the economic course of this country. I want to know New York’s capital market situations and Chicago’s future trade market systems. Additionally, I am trying to inspire a global mind for my son who is living with me.

The weather is so great. Especially, San Diego winter is like Korea’s early summer, so it makes me refreshed and I want to run outside sometimes. San Diego is a very convenient city if you have a car, because the roads are well developed. There are many beautiful beaches, parks, lakes and mountains at all corners, also San Diego is near to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. It is a nice tour place to travel in this country.

HIA gives me various approaches to studying English. I am taught grammar and writing skills through the regular class: writing, reading, listening and speaking. When in TOEIC, the teacher doesn’t just teach TOEIC. He presents varied materials such as magazine articles, realistic writing and movies for case study. Otherwise, after regular school we have free classes like pronunciation café and conversation club. I can maintain English balance through this class. Finally, that I met international students is my other pleasure at HIA, so we can share our cultures.

I want to improve my English speech. I always wish to chat with my foreign friends. And living in the U.S. is a great experience for me.

The weather here is always sunny and clean. It makes me happy and I think San Diego is a safe city. Also, San Diego has a lot of beaches. It is really wonderful! If I had a chance to visit the U.S. again, I would come here.

Everything is cool. Especially, after the school schedule, we have a conversation club and a pronunciation café. It is good for improving my English conversation. And I appreciate the teachers and staff who are always kind and friendly. I am really happy at HIA.

My goal is to speak every day in English and improve my English skills. It is also interesting to go to another country without friends and family and try to stand on my own feet.

I love it so far. The weather is gorgeous and I enjoy the beaches. The family I live with is great. I learn a lot about America and the culture.

I like the culture mix, I enjoy speaking with people from other countries and learn something from their culture. The school is really flexible and you can speak out if you are not happy with something, and they look out to help you to change it.

My goal is to improve my English skills and apply in one of the city colleges.

Oh! I love San Diego! It is a wonderful city to study English. Once you come here you don’t want to leave this place anymore. In my opinion San Diego has a perfect sunny weather, very friendly people and it is a lot of things to do in this city. San Diego has a lot of museums, parks, beaches and many more interesting places.

HIA is a great school to learn English. I am studying here and I feel like all the students and teachers are so professional and they are ready to help me with all my language problems and solve them. I meet a lot of friends from all around the world in this school. I really enjoy to study at HIA and I am very glad that I choose this school.

I want to apply for a graduate school in the USA in one year. So I will have TOEFL test, and I need to make a good score. Before that, it’s important for me to improve my English skills.

Teachers here are gracious and willing to give you help. HIA has different curriculum to help students advance in English skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing. You can choose the classes which suit you. You can use the computer and student lounge for free, there are refrigerator, microwave, etc. It’s convenient for me to prepare lunch. You can learn a lot of things here, not only the English skills, but the life and culture in America. School will plan interesting activities every week, you can join it and have fun with other students. you can know lots of friends here. It’s worth for me to pay a little and get a lot.

I think it's a great experience that anyone should do; I met a lot of people from all over the world and I could open my mind to new cultures. All this helped me to grow up and see how different and various the world is. It is definitely a beautiful experience.

I definitely have made the right choice. HIA is a very good school and helped me a lot to improve my English. The teacher is really patient and always tries to encourage students. The people here are really friendly and always ready to help you. Another good thing is the sightseeing with the school that helps you discover San Diego.
