I have met so many new people, and I have learned about my weakneses 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!

My time at PELA was great! I met new people, learned about many cultures, made new friends, and learned a new language. It was awesome!
