  Yinny, a student from Colombia, stayed at EC San Francisco for about 4 months to take English courses in San Francisco. She loves San Francisco and explored lots of places with her friends from different countries whom she met here. In addition, she participated in EC San Francisco’s activities as much as she could. This experience was unforgettable for her! Here are some comments from Yinny:   I studied at EC San Francisco for almost 4 months. Studying at EC San Francisco has been the best experience of my entire life, I met a lot of people from different countries and participated in many activities in the school. I can describe my experience here absolutely amazing and unforgettable. Thanks to my teachers I was able to improve my English. At EC San Francisco school, I improved my vocabulary, my listening, writing and speaking skills. I learned a lot and today I can communicate in English with more confidence that before. If you have the opportunity to live this experience, I will recommend studying at EC school. San Francisco is a beautiful city with a lot to do, EC San Francisco is located in an excellent place in downtown with a team of experienced and teachers dedicated to helping you perfect your English. EC San Francisco has many activities daily outside and on campus that will allow you to enjoy your stay while you learn English and make new friends. Thank you so much to my teachers, my new friends from Japan, Brazil, Korea, Thailand, Switzerland, Mexico, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, France, Italy, Taiwan, Germany, to Ryan and all Staff of EC. I will miss everything in San Francisco!!!

EC Activity: Sea Kayaking

Category: EC San Francisco, EC SF students, San Francisco Activities, sea kayaking, Sports, summer activities / Tags: , ,

  What comes to mind when you hear California activities in the summer? You might think water activities, such as kayaking, surfing and snorkeling. We realized that we haven’t organized a sea kayaking activity in the Bay Area since the school was launched. Therefore, we organized a sea kayaking activity two weeks ago! It was foggy in the morning, but it became clear and sunny when we started to do sea kayaking, so we were lucky! Fifteen of our students joined the activity, and for some of them it was the first time to go sea kayaking. Even though some of the students didn’t know how to use paddles to move forward or back, it didn’t take long to get used to it. Each student had a partner, and they needed to work together and row at the same time in order to move in the same direction.     The location for the activity was near the Bay Bridge and AT&T Stadium, so we could see the wonderful San Francisco city view from the ocean. It was a little difficult to move forward against the strong waves when we were near the Bay Bridge, but the students didn’t give up rowing through the Bay Area. We really had a good time sea kayaking together, so we decided to do the same activity in August? If you are interested in sea kayaking, please join us!!! It is always a fun activity to do with students! If you would like to study and have fun in San Francisco, check out our English courses in San Francisco!!!
