I chose the Language Institute because it is the best place for learn English and know the American culture and people from all over the world.

The Language Institute at Georgia Tech has the prestige of the most important college in Atlanta. The infrastructure is perfect for study and to enjoy college life. We have very good teachers. In addition, we have a lot of activities all the weekends to know the city, practice sports, make social activities, and welcome parties.

You can find the most kind staff to help you make your life easier here. Also, the students are very diverse and kind people. I love the big diversity from all the continents. In every part of the Language Institute, you can find a smile and kindness.

My experience at the Language Institute is really interesting because I can meet people from different countries and continents who teach me a lot of things like their cultures, traditions, foods and a few words of their languages.

In addition, the classes are faster, and I learn more things that permit me to feel comfortable.

I’m astonished with the American culture. The people are gentle, respectful, try to understand me and love their city. Atlanta is a growing city, and I think that it is modern and healthy because it is surrounded by a lot of trees and beautiful buildings.

I hope to learn English, know more about Americans and Atlanta, and come back to Colombia with a good and unforgettable experience.

GT is one of the most recognized universities in Atlanta because of its academic achievement and it was the right fit for me because of the faculty and the alumni that surround me every day.

Personally, the Language Institute makes it easier for me to learn and have a fresh learning environment. I chose this university because I felt it helped me everyday in my life and most importantly it helped me with the development of my English skills.

The experience of meeting new people from different countries all over the world helped me understand about life, and I learned more about American culture and that was something I could not find anywhere else. I have been in Atlanta almost an entire year, and I have enjoyed every activity at the Language Institute and the student council program.

I had the opportunity to participate in the student council, and it had been one of the best opportunities to help the students. My goal in every activity is that the students feel more comfortable with their English and of course practice it with advanced students, native speakers, and teachers too.

I know attending the GT Language Institute will help me become a greater person and be ready for the everyday struggles of the outside world—American society. I want to leave this university with a sense of greater achievement and feel proud of what I did. 

Now. I am in the 700 level, and I feel that this class not only helped me with the language barrier but also helped me feel more comfortable. I learned the basic and more advanced skills, and it has carried me throughout my stay at college. 

Finally, I can say that each class that I took helped me develop better knowledge of English, and I never thought I would enjoy it so much. I want to thank everyone at the Language Institute that helped me with my goals and I will never forget them.

I came to the Language Institute because it is a very famous institute. I need to pass the TOEFL and go to a university. I don’t really know schools in Georgia, so people around me recommend this institute.

The first time I went to the Language Institute, I was very surprised because people are very friendly. Even though they don’t know you, they will come to you and make you feel comfortable.

People here come from a lot of countries such as Korea, Chile, Mexico, and Senegal. They come from all over the world so you can find out about different cultures and different ways to live. The class schedule is adapted for quick evaluation. It’s my first time here, but I can already see the results of my stay here.

If you want to come here, don’t get nervous because you are a new student. Everything is going to be all right. Promise.

“I have two uncles and their families living in Atlanta. They all cannot speak Japanese, so if I want to talk to them, I have to speak English. I would like to meet them and talk to them in English. That’s why I came here.

At first, I would take just one session because it would be enough to be able to speak a little. However, after I came here, I changed my mind to stay here more because I want to use English in business. To keep studying English here although I have to take one year leave from my graduate school and have some problems about it, I believe that I chose the better way.

Language Institute has given me many chances to try other countries’ cultures. For example, in Japan, I had never listened to Latin music, but it has become the one of the favorite music. I did not know Korean words, but I know that there are some exactly same words in Japanese. After I came to the Language Institute, I realized there are many more things for fun than I expected.

Studying at the Language Institute is one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. Before coming here, I expected to have something great that will help me improving my knowledge in English. I have heard a lot of comments about the Language Institute. However, what I found in place when I arrived at the Language Institute was just beyond my expectation.

First of all, there is an ideal workplace. It has three computer labs that students can use before during and even after class hours. In addition, teachers are experienced and make students want to learn English in a good atmosphere. They are also available to help students and answer all the questions at school or online.

Classrooms have limited numbers of students. Students are from different countries with the same goal, learning English. In addition, to learn English we also learn many things from each other. The experience I had at the Language Institute is the kind of experience I don’t expect to have anywhere.

I came to GT because Atlanta is a very important city in the United States and Georgia Tech is a very prestigious university.

Choosing the right place to learn English as a second langue is a big step. Looking for a place where you won’t waste your time is very important. Knowing that professionals in the field with enough experience will teach you by using innovative methods needs to be taken into account  But most of all, to know that you’re being treated as a part of a family makes you feel at home even when you’re far away from it.  That’s why Georgia Tech’s Language Institute must be your top choice.

According to some record, I found that Georgia tech Language Institute is the best in Atlanta.

There are several reasons why I think that the Language Institute of Georgia Tech is the best international school. One reason is that it gives its students the opportunity to communicate with native people. Another reason is that the different events, trips, and parties make the students feel happy while they study English. Finally, because it has students from different nationalities it’s really that you can see this after speaking English very well so they can communicate with each other and learn from each other’s cultures.

I came to the Language Institute because of the good teachers and the location.

I think the Language Institute is a great place to experience different cultures and learning English. Besides the general courses, they also provide some useful or interesting electives for students. I have chosen most of them and they are good too.

I got opportunities to apply what I learned in the regular courses, and I had a lot of fun. Furthermore, Language Institute also held a variety of activities which can either improve the English or experience culture here. I am so glad that I am here, and I really hope that I can stay here longer.

I came to the Language Institute because Georgia Tech is the best school in Atlanta.

I have been here for seven months. My goal is to learn English very well. Georgia Tech is the best location for learning English. When I came to the U.S., I didn’t imagine that I could communicate with American in such a short time. Now I can do it.

Georgia Tech gives a lot of opportunity for speaking very well like extra conversation parties. Also the Language Institute has experienced teachers. They help students develop skills in grammar, reading, listening, speaking, and writing. I am happy to come to the Language Institute. I believe that I improved my English because of its quality education.
