Experiencia fantástica: Sem dúvida a St. Thomas foi responsável por criar memórias maravilhosas em Minnesota. Não somente a escola é ótima e extremamente organizada, nos ajudando em todo o processo, mas também é repleta de pessoas gentis e amigáveis, tanto alunos quanto profissionais. Eles organizam passeios e eventos pela cidade, e isso foi essencial pra criarmos vínculos e amizades com pessoas de todo o mundo. Teatros, parques de diversão, sky diving, churrasco, esporte, música... Tudo incrível!

Experiencia fantástica: Good place

Experiencia fantástica: As an Els student, I had a lot of experience and good experience with people from various countries. If I have a chance to come next time, I will definitely do an Els student again.

Experiencia fantástica: أنا درست في معهد ELS في مدينة منيابوليس، ولاية مينيسوتا، لمدة ٩ شهور. كانت أيام جميلة وتعلمت فيها الكثير. المدرسين كانوا دائماً يدعموني نفسياً ومعنوياً، والمعهد له ذكريات جميلة جداً معي. يمكن المشكلة الوحيدة هي أن المدينة باردة جداً في الشتاء، لكنها من أفضل المدن في أمريكا I studied at the ELS Language Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota for 9 months. Those were beautiful days, and I learned a lot. The teachers always supported me emotionally and mentally, and the institute holds many great memories for me. Maybe the only problem is that the city is very cold in the winter, but it’s still one of the best cities in the United States.

Experiencia fantástica: I joined ELS as a student after changing my status. I was always well guided and understood by the school. I especially have to thank Erin, Margaret, and Jonathon for the kindness and empathy they showed me throughout my time at the school. Today, I leave with much more confidence and a greater sense of security than when I first arrived. I also leave knowing that I met the most amazing people I could have possibly met on my journey. Thank you all!

Experiencia fantástica: Studying at ELS Minneapolis (St. Paul) was an amazing experience. The teachers are really good and the classes are fun and interactive. I loved practicing my English with people from all over the world. It was so cool to learn about different cultures and perspectives. The cultural activities were also a lot of fun and I learned a lot from them. The staff is super helpful and they really care about your success. They helped me overcome my challenges and achieve my goals. I highly recommend ELS to anyone who wants to learn English.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to improve your English skills.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a Colombian student who was studying in ELS English program and i really had a very good experience in this place.

Experiencia fantástica: I started studying at ELS St. Paul at the end of September 2023 and completed my studies in April 2024. I’m excited to share my experiences studying and living in Minnesota at ELS. While many might think that learning a language is a dull and somewhat tedious process, there’s no need to worry about that at ELS St. Paul. Each session includes a variety of enjoyable outdoor activities and cultural celebrations, such as our celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas. The classroom atmosphere is also very enjoyable. I was thrilled to be in class with Japanese students from Kinki University, as well as enthusiastic classmates from South America, the Arab world, and Vietnam. The teachers seem like magicians who always have new materials to help us learn. The classes are interactive, and even though I used to be a very shy person, the encouragement from the teachers helped me continually push my boundaries and fully enjoy the learning process. If you have any issues with your studies, the teachers will sincerely assist you. Lastly, I want to mention Minnesota. In Chinese, “Minnesota” means “the bright state.” I often think that if God is real, then Minnesota must be the closest place to the divine, as the people here are as friendly as angels. Minnesota is in a high latitude region, and the sky here is beautiful; summer is very comfortable. If you have time, you should explore St. Paul (the birthplace and upbringing place of the author of “The Great Gatsby”), which feels like a fairy tale world. Although winters can be quite cold, my friend who lives in California says that the climate there is pleasant. I find that in Minnesota, you can experience all four seasons in a single day, which is a unique and cost-free experience. Minnesota may not be as bustling as California, Chicago, or New York; it is like a calm and graceful lady. I will be moving to another state for further studies, but I will always cherish and love this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Studying at ELS was a truly wonderful experience that went beyond language learning. The program offers a diverse range of things, including a cultural exchange. One of the standout aspects is the regular organization of activities outside of regular classes, which fosters a sense of community and friendship among students from all over the world. These events provide a unique opportunity to form lasting bonds and meaningful friendships with fellow students from diverse backgrounds, making the experience even more memorable and rewarding.

Experiencia fantástica: Studying at ELS St. Paul has been the most incredible experience of my life. Stepping out of my comfort zone to explore a new country and improve my English skills was the best decision I've ever made. However, this experience wouldn't have been possible without the team working at ELS St. Paul (teachers and administrative staff) as absolutely everyone was very kind and professional. At this school, I had the opportunity to make new friends from different countries, learn about their cultures and traditions, and interact with them. Not to mention, it was a great opportunity to teach others about my own country and culture. There was always an atmosphere of friendship. The school is equipped with everything necessary to make the classes interactive and fun. Additionally, every month there are new and exciting activities that help reinforce language skills and make you feel comfortable and confident speaking English. The saddest part is when you have to say goodbye to your friends who return to their countries, but there is always the possibility to stay in touch, and why not? One day reunite in their country or yours. In summary, I totally recommend the experience of studying at ELS St. Paul for the quality of teaching, the environment, and the experiences you can have! Recommendation: Make friends who don't speak your language, this way you can strengthen your language and social skills! And if you are shy, don't worry! We Latin Americans can help you!

Experiencia fantástica: I had learned english as a second language at ELS Center St.paul/Minneapolis. I liked how the program had diversity of students from different countries that enriched my experience through cultural exchange. I do remember my beginnings and how I was practicing my listening skills in which the instructors had a clear accent and spoke in understandable tone. The program wasn’t only built on learning grammars, but also it was combined with using the actual language through practice. I loved that the center located at university of St. Thomas campus in which had opened an opportunity to visit the campus and learn more about the academic programs in US. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: It was very helpful for myself to increase my abilities in English language.♥️

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing school, campus and facilities. ELS is phenomenal. It was such an amazing experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I gotta say, ELS Language Center rocks! Studying there has been awesome, and I've really seen myself getting better at the language. All crew is pretty good but let me tell you about Erika and Margaret—they're seriously the coolest teachers ever! They make learning fun, and I always look forward to their classes. They really know their students and are always there to help out whenever you need it. Thank you so much!! Also, a big thanks to Erin for helping me enroll! I was really confused at first, but she showed me what to do step by step, and her support made the process much easier for me.

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect team and wonderful university

Experiencia fantástica: ELS was a great and enriching experience for me. I was able to learn and improve my English skills and meet new friends from all over the world. It is an amazing experience where you can make many friends and continue to learn English.

Experiencia fantástica: Everything was wonderful, teachers, classes, activities.

Experiencia fantástica: High level school. Qualified teachers! Relevant selection of topics. I tried many free schools and only here I got result. Sonya, Senia, Margaret are amazing teachers.

Experiencia positiva: First thing you need to know: this place is extremely difficult to find if you are not familiar with the building. No obvious signs from the outside either. Lucky for me when I arrived there was an event going on inside the school and several people were kind enough to help me ask around. Half an hour later I was finally at the correct door. Door was locked and there’s a very small printed sign that says call a number when you arrive. Again lucky for me the security saw me looking confused and came to the door to greet me. Other than this very big downside, the stuff were very friendly. You can bring a bag or other belongings with you and they’ll keep them for you. I followed the website instructions and didn’t even bring my wallet. That was silly.

Experiencia fantástica: The customer service for ELS languages centers is outstanding. They have walked us through the process, respond quickly and are very helpful. I am so glad we chose ELS.

Experiencia fantástica: I can say that ELS is one of the greatest language center in MN. Studying at ELS gave me the opportunity to have great experience to communicate and share my culture with my classmate. Also, its gave me the advantage to learn more from our the monthly activity where we have chance to visit Twin Cities Museums, Historical places and Landmarks. Moreover, ELS academic program help me a lot in developing my Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading skills. I would like to thank very much ELS staff for their hard work and their support.

Experiencia fantástica: I 've learned here four sections and I love the learning environment here. Everything was great and I will continue to choose where to complete my English program. Thank you so much my lectures. Great !

Experiencia fantástica: Learning english is not just a matter of memorizing the grammar, have a keen ear for listening or be good at talking. It also involves the culture, to meet new people and to have new experiences that make you grow up and not only improve your language skills but also your social and human ones. In ELS you can experience that and more. It's a place where not only your classmates but your teachers and directors (the best director if you ask me) can become your best friends and have a good talk with coffee when you need it. What are you waiting for?

Experiencia fantástica: It was one of the most amazing experience in my life. I learn a lot of English in a wonderful environment with awesome teachers. Also, I had the opportunity to made new friends around the world.

Experiencia fantástica: ELS language center is my favorite school in the United States

Experiencia fantástica: If you're looking for a great opportunity to develop your English skills with such great faculty and international students, then this ELS is the right place for you. It has a very wonderful and convient campus with St. Thomas utilities in both St.Paul and Minneapolis. Instructors in there are so welcoming, passionate and so thrilled to teach English as a second language.

Experiencia fantástica: I was in St Paul the last year and I loved it the center of ELS at St Paul. Teachers were great and administrative staff, too. I was studing English at three different city and the best place was St Paul

Experiencia negativa: This place is not the right place for anyone to learn real English. The teachers there are wonderful, but the people in the management all what they think about is Money, Money, Money. They do not care about your success. I went there for two months and I failed because what they are teaching me is not what I was expecting. When I tried to speak to the secretary and the manager, all what they were talking to me is money. I was there in 2008, then I transferred to Century Language Center in California which is Much much cheaper, perfect teachers. Learned the language very quick. now I'm a math PhD student at the UofM. Please my fellow students student never wast your time and money in this profiteering school. نصيحة مني يا اصحاب , تبي تتعلم انجليزي صح, روح على سنتشري لانجوج سنتر في كالفورنيا سان هوزي. اسعارهم ارخص بكثير ومعلمين والله درجة اولى.
