I'm going to write about my life over here in Chicago. I'm studying in Chicago since long time ago maybe since AUG 2011. when i arrived to USA i was not know any words in English so sounds like i had a bad days ever. when i arrived to USA through Washington DC. I stayed in Washington for one day then i travailed to Chicago. I stayed in Washington DC airport for 7 hours by the way. However, I start studying English at Kaplan school which is one of the best schools i have ever attend to. Since i came to Chicago i have allot of friends from different countries for example form Korea, Thai Germany,Colombia,Brazil,Italy,Spain,South Africa and Swiss even Americans friends.
My first day at Kplan was such as dream for me beacuse i met allot of people from differant countries and i heared different languages.

Hi my name is Amro and I am from Saudi Arabia I am outgoing and I love crazy thing and I love Erin she is my teacher. my classmates are just perfect. Thank you guys.

The best time for marriage in my opinion is after midnight because everybody  and happy they will feel the special feeling for the marriage  then after they start drinking it will be amazing and it will be common after a while.The thing is the marriage

Erin is always freaking out what is the reason in your opinions guys?
Laura doesn't stop bothering Erin and complaining

Introduce Yourself!

My name is Sara, I'm from Italy, I'm 18 years old. I have come here in Chicago to improve my English, discover a little bit of the States and of course make new friends. I like learning about different cultures and places all over the world. What I love most is riding horse and listening to music. I can't live without them! My favorite singer is Michael Jackson and my favorite band is Muse. I think English is great because allows you to speak with people from all over the world and overcome boundaries!
