Los Angeles ratings & reviews

What our students said about Los Angeles

Los Angeles is definitely a beautiful city with a fantastic climate and plenty to see; people are generally kind and friendly. The problem is that it’s not very safe—for both guys and girls—and at night it’s definitely not safe to walk around alone or take public transportation. Plus, the city is extremely dirty.

5.0Silvia Italy

In general, prices are on the high side. However, the locals were very open toward foreigners, and many people were willing to help. As a result, I had more opportunities to communicate in English than in other countries. The weather was also very pleasant, with minimal temperature fluctuations between day and night.

5.0Taehee South Korea

Although the cost of living is higher than in other cities, I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere where you can strike up a conversation with people anywhere. It’s a place where people are generous and open-minded toward outsiders.

LASC - Language Scholastics

The teachers are incredibly passionate about teaching and are very considerate of the students.
It's quite inconvenient to use the restroom, and I feel a little awkward having to ask for the key at the front desk every time I go.

LASC - Language Scholastics

I appreciated the staff’s hard work and friendly service, as well as the teachers’ dedication to teaching with such passion.
I think three hours of class followed by two more hours after lunch sounds better.

There are only a few students in each class, so the teachers can give everyone plenty of attention; the classrooms are clean, and the school staff are always very helpful.

Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Los Angeles

I would like to take educational leave in Los Angeles. Can I take a course and enter the country with ESTA approval?
Unfortunately, the courses for educational leave are almost always intensive courses with more than 18 hours per week. This is not compatible with ESTA approval.
Julia Von Vopelius-Feldt, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 16, 2023
F1 visa holder. Want to transfer to other school providing online/offline class -hybrid class.
Unfortunately, none of the language schools we partner with offer hybrid courses - all classes are face-to-face.

If you're happy with face-to-face classes, can you let us know your preferred start date and duration?

We can shortlist a few schools and see if they are transferable.
Mindlere Shin, LanguageCourse.Net - May 08, 2023
I only speak Spanish and I want to learn to speak English.
If you already have some knowledge of English, however little, you can start on any Monday. However, if you are an absolute beginner, if you have never studied English at all before, some schools have specific start dates throughout the year, which can be found in the profile of each of the language schools we work with in Los Angeles.
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 27, 2023
I am in Los Angeles on holiday and I want to learn English.
As you have entered the country on a tourist visa, you can only book a course with a weekly teaching load not exceeding 18 hours, and only for a maximum of 90 days, which is the time allowed by the visa you hold in the United States.
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 24, 2023
I'm looking for an English course for an adult and a winter camp (language training +activities) for 2 Chinese children.
A10-year-old girl with American passport and a 12-year-old boy with Chinese passport 10 years visa.
The California Language Academy in Los Angeles offers both adult courses and a winter camp programme for children.
Courses without ages are for adults, the adults traveling with children can choose according to their own needs.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
