Testimonial

Matteo Busato When I was a child I was lazy about speaking English. But to be here and speak English in America is amazing. You must learn English for the world, to find a job, to travel all over…someone, anywhere and everywhere will be able to understand you. San Diego is an amazing city on the coast. The downtown is wonderful. People feel free here. The air from the sea lets you feel free and you don’t want to sleep. After school I walk back to my residence and I meet people from everywhere. I've learned a lot about the culture of other places.
