“My father’s co-worker’s daughter was a student in academia and after she finished her classes she recommended to me to improve my English here. I had never thought about studying English in Hawaii so I was confused a little to be here but I realized I was so lucky to have a chance to study in academia and stay beautiful land shortly soon after.

I’ve studied English pretty long time in Korea though I was still afraid of talking with native people. But I changed after taking classes and I like to speak with them everywhere now. The classes and teachers were very great. I learned a lot in every class. Also I liked school activity. I could meet new people there.

I had wonderful memories in Hawaii for 2 months so I’m planning to study longer next time. All the teachers and staffs were so kind to me.(Thank you very much!) I miss them a lot.”
