Portland English Language Academy - Portland, Oregon

I have met so many new people, and I have learned about my weaknesses and strengths in English; already I have improved my skills. I can participate in other activities out of school and learn about American culture. It's been a great experience!

Claudia, Mexico

I met people from all over the world at PELA and English was our only language to communicate, we had to use our English--it is a great way to practice English! My classes all helped me to sharpen my English skills. I enjoyed PELA a lot and hope I have a chance to visit there again.

Eva, Taiwan

I had wonderful time in PELA. Before I came to Portland, I felt speaking and learning English was very stressful. After studying at PELA, I love English now!
