I really enjoyed my time at PELA. It's amazing that you can meet people from all over the world in one place. I appreciate the personal and open attitude of the teachers and their professionalism. They always try to make lessons interesting and funny to create a good atmosphere of learning.

Because I met people from all of 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.
