Jae Hoon Son -

Hello! My name is Jae Hoon and I am from Korea. My friend recommended ECSL. I have been here for six months. I have improved my English because I have many opportunities to speak English with friends at ECSL. The teachers have very good abilities and personalities. We can have a good homestay and many activities at ECSL as well. I will stay at ECSL as long as I study English.
