I've been here for 6 months, and am completely satisfied with my life here. I've had lots of opportunities to improve my English in SSALI, and I also met great teachers and gorgeous friends. All of them are so friendly just like my family. I bet you'll love SSALI!
The opportunity to study abroad in a safe area was extremely gratifying for me.
The teachers are very nice, kind and try to do their best for the students.
Whenever you are in trouble, the teachers will help you with pleasure.
I live in a homestay and my host family is like my friend. They try to talk and speak with me even though my English is not good.
You can choose some classes, such as TOEFL, American Film, American Culture, Pronunciation, and Computer.
