Hi Elena,

Good to hear that you are actually thinking about studying here at CISL in San Francisco.
Improving your English is the key to opening many new doors and I'm sure you will enhance your skills rather quickly since
you are forced to speak English in a positive way. Don't worry about making new friends, it's hard to avoid making it!

Many other students here share the same intention with you and almost all of them are very open-minded.
I met two other students at my homestay on the first day. Fredy originally comes from Columbia and Ayumi from Japan. Although we are not attending to
the same school, we have had a lot of fun up to now!

You will have very much leisure time and it won't be enough to discover all the things you can do here. The spectrum of free-time activities the school offers covers almost everything!
From tasting wine, visiting national parks, museums to discovering SF's nightlife. You won't get bored at all!

But there's more the school actually offers you:
I think the school itself is not comparable to what you know from Germany. The teacher_ are all fun and they really enjoy teaching and communicating with you rather than just doing their curriculum.
My class teacher Peter for example loves sharing interests with his students, while you will never miss a day that Bill is not laughing at least one time.
Furthermore the classes are very small which means you will find 8 people or less in a class. That's very motivating and it will help you feel more comfortable at the school.

But it's not worth it, if the price is too high. <---- GOOD I think the price is definitely not too high! <---- Huh? I'm really looking forward to your reply and hope that I made your decision easier!

Best Greetings,
Marc Henning
