ESL summer camp, is it worth the money? #1 (permalink) Thu Jan 28, 2010 16:04 pm   ESL summer camp, is it worth the money?
 

Hi,

I planning to sign up an ESL summer camp in mid of July to learn English and experience North American culture. But the thing is that, since most students are from non-English countries, can I learn good English in such a environment?

As you can see, the ESL summer camp I chose http://www.cic-totalcare.com/en/SummerCampEastWestCoast.php has intensive English training. But again the question is: can I improve my English a lot with non-native speakers as my classmates?

Thank you.

Are you English Testking. If not, then you too would be a non-native speaker. If you are a native speaker why would you need to learn English?

Your question is puzzling indeed.

Kitos.

Thanks for reply! I'm a non-native, but want to more mingle with native speakers to learn real English.

Does it make more sense? Thank you again, Kitosdad.

I think your non native friends will stop you feeling strange for you will be surrounded by everything English! TV programs news etc Signs newspapers people - It is quite intensive and interacting with similar people to yourself would I feel be very helpful and provide moral support and team bonding.

You could also make some life long friends from people you have a lot in common with.
