My English improved a lot because

the first time I came to EC I couldn't communicate with foreigners

and now I can communicate with foreigners fluently,

and we can have a perfect conversation with them.

I met a lot of friends from different countries like

Russia, Japan, Korea.

And also European countries like

Spain and Switzerland.

And also South America like Brazil and Chile.

I always invite my friends after school and sometimes we go

to the Brooklyn Bridge or Time Square,

and also to the Yankee Stadium to watch the football games.

I have been a Yankees fan for 10 years,

since I was a child I was a Yankees fan.

That's why I chose EC to study English,

because I want to watch the whole season of Yankee games

and I also want to improve my English ability.

Learning English here is fun, I think, for them.

They can walk outside and it's dynamic,

but at the same time I think they also walk outside and see

the multicultural city that New York is. And I think it's inspiring

and I can see why it would be, you know,

where they can walk outside and see people from all corners of the world

and say, "Wow look at them existing here and being

New Yorkers and maybe I will one day or

at least I will be able to communicate with them

and other Americans". So

you know, it's a very exciting place.

I like meeting people from all over the world,

It's a big perk. My classroom is always changing

and so I get to meet cool people

who've done cool things and my Facebook is huge now,

I have tons of friends around the world.

And so it's cool in that way, I get to

experience the world by just being here for a little bit

so it is a huge perk for me.

I've done a few things where I take them out.

I take them to Bryant Park occasionally,

have them interview strangers in the park and

they're always scared about it and then they're always

the best classes. Afterwards they always have

questions about just like the everyday language that we use.

I remember the last thing that a student told me,

they asked "Oh you can catch a train?" and I was like

"Yeah that person didn't want to speak to you because

they had to catch a train".

And so, they are learning these kind of things

that are sometimes not in the books

and sometimes it's only outside of the

classroom that they can experience

those like real interactions. So

being right here in the middle

gives me the opportunity to do that. So

I'm in the middle of the city and I try to use it

whenever possible.

The people make a huge difference, I really like the people here. It's a great

team: my co-teachers and colleagues, the staff in general, it's been a great

experience, I've made a lot of good friends. And the students, the variety

of people coming from different places. I've met people from all walks of life

of all different ages and just fascinating, fun people.

I'm always happy to come to work. Mondays are exciting because you never know,

you have new students, I never know who's going to be there. And I've made not only

friends as for my coworkers, but also students that we stay in touch and we're

still friends. Well there's always that openness - people

who come here know that they're going to work with people from other countries

and we generally get people with an open mind who are willing to learn

differences between their cultures and others. We get a lot of people who have

travelled a lot or that really enjoy traveling and very often they need

English for travelling, or for work is another reason. So people always find

something that they can connect with or something that they're interested in that

they want to learn from others. So that always makes it very interesting. There's

a very good, fun atmosphere in the classes where I'm always learning

something and it's clear that everybody else is usually on the same page.
