Portland English Language Academy - Portland, Oregon

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!

I had a perfect time at PELA! PELA can help you enjoy your time in the U.S. because there are great activity programs, like volunteering and internships, and also there are a lot of nice students, teachers and staff.
