I had so much homework that I didn’t have much spare time! My friend from the other school had a part time job, but if he were to be in this university, he wouldn’t even think about it. That is how much work I had to do. It depends on the teacher but this is really appropriate for those who are really willing to ‘study’ only. So my English skills improved dramatically, especially my speaking skills. This school had so many events, I didn’t always attend the events but sometimes I did, and it was really fun too. My host for homestay was really kind to me too, and I shared the flat with other American students, which was also very good. Los Angelus’s fantastic weather also made me enjoy the city and education even more.

_______________________________________________________
毎日宿題がでるので、遊んでいる暇がありません！他の学校に通っている友達はアルバイト等もしていましたが、この学校にいる場合、そのような考えは論外というぐらい毎日宿題に追われます（先生にもよりますが、、、）しっかり勉強したい人におすすめだと思います。 実際、英語はかなり上達したように思います。特にスピーキングが、上達しました。そして　毎週、毎日なにかしらののイベントがありました。私は時々参加する程度でしたが、毎回楽しく過ごしました。私の場合は週３回の夕食付きというホームステイでホストファミリーはとても親切でした。他にアメリカ人の生徒も居て楽しかったです。ロサンゼルスの温暖な気候で、週末はリラックスでき、行った甲斐のある語学研修でした。

_______________________________________________________

매일 숙제가 많아서, 놀을 틈이 없습니다! 다른 학교에 다니는 친구는 아르바이트를 하고 있었지만 이 학교에 있다면 그런 생각을 못할 정도 매일 숙제에 쫓기고 있습니다. 선생님에 따라 다르긴 하지만… 제대로 공부 하고 싶은 사람에게 추천합니다. 실제적으로 영어는 늘었습니다. 특히 말하기가 능숙했습니다. 그리고 매주 매일 같이 뭔가 이벤트가있었습니다. 가끔 참가했지만 매번 즐겁게 그 시간을 보냈습니다. 그리고 제는 홈스테이를 일주일에 3회 저녁 식사를 제공하는 걸로 했는데 호스트  는 매우 친절했습니다. 다른 미국인 학생들도 있어서 즐거웠습니다. 로스 앤젤레스의 따뜻한 날씨 가운데서  주말도 여유롭게 보내고 보람이 있는 어학연수였습니다.

学校の夏休みを利用して、短期間でしたがこちらの学校に通いました。

学校はビバリーヒルズや、ハリウッドの近くにあるウェストウッドという地区にあります。
交通の便は良かったです。施設や内装も綺麗でした。
授業は朝9時から午後の3時半くらいまであります。
最初の１時間目で前日の復習と文法を勉強します。２時間目は会話、リスニング、語彙を勉強して、
３時間目はリーディングとライティングを勉強しました。
授業はまず教科書で文法を勉強して、次にそれを使った会話の練習をしたり、先生が用意してくれるテーマについて話をしたりします。
リーディングとライティングも、教科書だったり、先生が用意したテキストだったりを使って勉強しました。
クラスの人数は１２人で、日本人も結構いました。
先生がとても陽気な方だったので、クラスの雰囲気も和気あいあいとしていて、仲のいいクラスでした。
クラスの皆で遊びに行ったりして、とても楽しかったです。
住まいはホームステイを利用したのですが、親切なホストファミリーのおかげで、とても快適に過ごすことができました。
あまりに居心地が良くて、もっと居たかったくらいです。
最初英語に不慣れな私に本当に優しくしてくれて、感謝の言葉しかありません。
学校の先生、スタッフ、友達、ホストファミリー、みんなにありがとうという気持ちです。

今回、短期で一般英語コースに留学しました。

ロサンゼルス校を選んだのは、
初めてのアメリカ留学ということもあり、日本人の割合が比較的多いのと
観光地がたくさんあるので短期留学の間でたくさん観光もしたかったので
ロサンゼルス校にしました！

滞在中は、ホームステイをしてました。
ファミリーたちがとてもいい方たちで、妹ちゃんと歳が近かったので
週末は良く2人で遊びにいってました！

授業は、やはり日本人の割合が多い分に日本人の方と同じクラスでしたが、
英語を勉強しに来ているのでずっと英語で会話していました！
最初は日本人同士で英語使うのは少し恥ずかしかったんですが、だんだん慣れてきて
授業以外でも英語で話していましたし、日本に帰ってきた今でもよく連絡を取っていますが
それも英語で話してます！留学が終わっても仲良くしつつお互い良き勉強相手になっているのでとても力になります。
