Portland English Language Academy - Portland, Oregon

I miss everything about Portland, especially the people! I had a really great time and had wonderful experiences studying there. Thank you for everything, PELA!

Shiho, Japan

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 am improving my English in many ways. Talking to native speakers is useful. My teachers help me a lot.

Portland English School Housing Testimonials

Read about how Portland English Language Academy students loved the English homestay or student house experience that we arranged for them in Portland, Oregon.

 

My HOST FAMILY was so nice and friendly. They were very active and did lots of things in nature. We also played darts, watched movies, and had great dinners together.
Jassamin, Germany



My HOMESTAY PARENTS treated me as if I was their own child. I had great time with them. If their friends came over, we would have fun together, too. We went camping near Mt. Hood--they even asked me if I wanted to take a friend on the trip with us. . We keep in touch by writing e-mails now. My host family is the kindest and the most hospitable couple!
Eva, Taiwan



I really liked staying with my HOMESTAY FAMILY. I rarely felt homesick due to their kindness and the cozy atmosphere they created.
Attila, Hungary



Living with my HOST MOTHER was a wonderful experience. We went to the theater, played board games, and had interesting conversations at home, and even did yoga classes together. We are now friends and I've been visiting her even after I left. Everything was great!
Maja, Serbia



My HOST MOTHER is a good teacher, too! After school, we usually talk to each other. That's a great chance to practice my speaking English. And she is an excellent cook. She always fixes different dinners for me. She is the best! I feel really fortunate to have such a wonderful homestay experience. Thank you!

Everything was perfect with my HOST FAMILY. I had many opportunities to practice my English with them, and we did activities around Portland every week. My favorite meal they made for me was American barbeque!

I really liked sharing dinner with my HOST FAMILY. We would sometimes go out to dinner at ethnic restaurants. They took me many places like OMSI, the movies, and the Oregon State Fair!

My HOST MOTHER is really kind and willing to share a lot. I learned so much while living with her about Portland culture and the way people live in America. I love my host mother and her sweet daughter and son!

My HOST FAMILY is very kind and so nice! They took me to some famous place every weekend. Moreover, if I have somewhere to go, they take me to that place. And when I had some trouble, they helped me kindly.
