Mori Fumi ”I am excited about being able to help your English improve, and being able to help you fulfill your dream through your English improvement." I was shocked about this word in the first PALS class. My mindset was, “I can't be a great speaker.” But, I changed to do my best and to be a great English speaker. If you are thinking about study abroad, I recommend PALS. PALS is a great school. 「あなたの英語の上達の助けをできる事、また、それによって成し遂げられる、あなたの夢の手助けができる事に心からエキサイトしている。」初回のPALSでの教授の言 葉に目から鱗でした。ペラペラにはなれないだろうという中途半端な気持ちが、本気でベストを尽くそうという意気込みに変えられました。 もし、あなたが語学留学を考えているのならPALSをお勧めします！PALSは本当によい学校です。

Park Eun Chul My English has improved a lot here, and I’ve made many American friends. PALS is the obvious choice!  킹스 칼리지에서 저의 영어를 많이 향상시켰고 많은 미국 친구들도 사귀였습니다. PALS는 정말 탁월한 선택입니다.

Chu Tai Lan After surveying a bunch of language school and private institutions, I chose PALS. PALS provides high quality learning environment and master’s level teachers but a reasonable price. A student who wants to improve his English can definitely benefit from a smaller learning group. When I went to the class, I felt that I was in a high class meeting room having a meeting with a CEO of a large international enterprise and experienced as a New Yorker. Moreover, my most favorite class is chatting with native speakers. It’s a very good opportunity to meet with lots of American college students and make sense of the so-called “Real English.” 在看過多家紐約語言學校以及私人機構後，最後選擇了PALS. PALS提供高品質的學習環境，高水準的師資以及合理的價格，小班制的教學對於學習語言更是有實質上的助益。在這裡上課就像身處在國際型型企業的高級會議室裡與CEO開會一樣，體驗身為NewYorker 的感受。此外我最喜歡的是他們提供的聊天課程， 讓我們有機會認識更多美國學生以及了解所謂的日常美語。

Martin Tomás The atmosphere with the teachers and students is so familiar that I learned English without realizing it. I never thought I was going to meet people from so many different cultures in New York; they have made me grow (increase) personally.  Knowing English has helped me to find a good job in my country, and now I can say I feel satisfied having a fluent conversation in English. El ambiente con los profesores y estudiantes es tan familiar que aprendí ingles sin darme cuenta. Nunca imaginé que iba a conocer gente de culturas tan diferentes en Nueva York, las cuales me han hecho crecer como persona.  Saber hablar ingles me ha ayudado a encontrar un buen trabajo en mi pais y ahora puedo decir que me siento realizado teniendo una conversacion fluida en ingles.
