When it all comes together. The class reading and lectures about Immigration in NYC 1900s feels more real when you’re in the Lower East Side of Manhattan where everyone arrived. Students visited the Museum at Eldridge Street to learn about the journey Eastern European Jews and other populations made to come to the USA in the past and see how it connects to now. Plus a quick tour around Wall Street and breaking bread together. ELI for the win! ̇ngilizceöğreniyorum

Top test scores, great attendance, killer presentations and amazing published writing - these stellar students have it all. Our valedictorians had the top GPA in their respective levels, and the Salutatorians were decimal places behind. We are proud of their accomplishments and the progress they’ve made as English speakers. Do as they do, and you’ll learn English quickly and well too! ̇ngilizceöğreniyorum

Cherry blossoms! Our April program outing gave us an opportunity to use English for describing all we saw and how we appreciated it. If you enjoy who you’re talking to and what you’re talking about, you’re not practicing- you’re living the language.
