Learn English in San Francisco
Glamour and friendliness
The world famous city of San Francisco is the perfect location to study and learn English whilst at the same time enjoy meeting people from all over the world.
As one of the most dynamic and culturally diverse cities in the world San Francisco features a wide range of international cuisine and restaurants from all corners of the globe. It caters for every type of creative pursuit in terms of artistic variety (museums, theaters, galleries, and art centers), street fairs, a great night life, and beautiful places to visit in and around the city.
San Francisco is lovingly called "The City" by its residents. You wont forget the first time you set eyes on places like Chinatown, Japantown, the Italian District, Golden Gate Park and the romantic cable cars (just like the movies). You will be sure to understand the meaning of the famous song "I Left My Heart In San Francisco."
The Language School in San Francisco
In San Francisco we recommend:
CISL, Converse International School of Languages
The CISL language school in San Francisco is located on the penthouse floor (with beautiful terrace) of a historical building in the central Financial District (14th floor).
The school is situated on the nicest part of Market Street (quick walking distance to Union Square, Chinatown, the Embarcadero, and SOMA). The Montgomery BART Station is across the street from the CISL building.
