"CISL was better than I expected. The book and the curriculum are great, but the off topic discussion from these professionals are deeply interesting. I learned the language through real topics and conversations, not only from the textbook."
"I love Converse because all the teachers are so nice and so friendly. Every day it felt fun. This is my first experience to study abroad."
"The program combines academic excellence with a very personal approach."
CISL offers trips to Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Yosemite for adult and junior students. Contact the appropriate team for available options and booking details.
