Featured Student – Santiago Minutti Hernandez, Mexico

Santiago studied at English for Internationals last term, and he sent us this autobiography when he returned to his home country, Mexico.

Learning English is not always easy. It has taken me a long period of my short life to be as fluent as I am now. However, English for Internationals did something that my previous schools were not able to do: Have fun while getting knowledge.

What’s better than being able to learn or practice a language in the countries they speak it? That’s the reason why I came to US, to practice as much as I could this amazing language. Listening the pronunciation, discovering new words and talking to an experienced speaker were some of the things I really wanted to try while being in the country. English for Internationals was definitely the best place to do it.

Unlike many school’s systems around the world, one of the things that made me really enjoy this period of time here was the amazing diversity and communication among students. All of us want to give our best to learn as much as possible, meaning we are looking for the same goal. This creates an amazing dynamic in each class and make the relationship between students and teachers grow in a way that all of us feel more confident to talk.

Besides the incredible atmosphere, another amazing feature of this school is the amazing teachers and staff. Each one of them has some unique teaching strategies that work amazingly for the students and help us improve in the language even faster. Besides, they all have great communication with the students and with other members of the school which helps to create a feeling of happiness and an easier comprehension of the topics.

English is definitely one of the most spoken languages around the world and I consider that it will open different possibilities not only to my laboral area, but also my personal life. Being able to travel to different countries, which their main language is English, is now easier to me because now I can communicate with the people and understand how they talk in their daily life.

I’m so grateful to have found this school that has everything I ever wanted. Teachers and students help me through the course with just their positivity and happiness of being in the class, something that I will never forget. English for Internationals really left a wonderful memory for the rest of my life.
