English Lessons in Miami

If you moved to Miami in search of a better life but are still struggling to understand what everyone else is saying, or you feel like you can’t express your ideas as clearly as you would like, the smartest thing you could do is start an English course. This will allow you to master the language and finally feel that you can interact with locals and members of other foreign-born communities confidently in different social situations such as when you take your children to school, at work, or when you attend local events. Additionally, learning how to communicate fluently will allow you to make all sorts of new connections in the city with people from all over the world, ranging from wonderful friendships to useful business relationships that help you advance your career. On top of that, imagine how much more you’ll enjoy living in the city once you can truly understand the local culture, and do everyday things without needing to translate everything, like reading the news in English, or enjoying local TV shows without subtitles. In short, being able to speak the city’s official language will improve the way you experience it dramatically, so don’t spend one more day feeling like a second-class citizen and get started with in-person lessons in Miami today.

Why Study English in Miami?

Learn English for Work and Travel

Are you tired of only being eligible for badly-paid jobs just because you can’t communicate well? If so, starting a language course is the best way to go, as it will allow you to climb the ladder and access many wonderful positions in the city, especially if you already happen to speak Spanish, Portuguese, French, or any of the other commonly spoken foreign languages around Miami. Some of the job openings for bilinguals you could apply for if you work on your fluency include Spanish and English-speaking Customer Service & Sales Representative for AT&T, French and English-speaking Commercial Inside Solution Engineer for VMware, and Portuguese and English Bilingual Client Services Associate for Citi. What’s more, learning English is essential if you’re planning on having your own business in the city, since it’s the only way to attract a large number of clients and also to understand all the paperwork you need to do in order to run any kind of commercial activity in the country. In short, the longer you spend without speaking English, the harder it will be to find better job positions in the city, so don’t waste any more time and start learning now! 

Learn English for Social

Every 4th of July, the city’s sky lights up with a spectacular firework show to celebrate Independence Day at the beautiful Biscayne Bay. This is a special day to feel more American than ever, eat delicious hot dogs, and enjoy the many live bands that gather to celebrate the Nation’s birthday. There’s also a wonderful parade at Crandon Boulevard, where you can watch an impressive display of flying jets, marching bands, golf carts, floats, and tons of US-themed decorations. Although you don’t need to speak English to have fun during the celebrations, speaking the language will allow you to connect more deeply with fellow Americans and truly understand and pay respect to the local culture, so next July, don’t miss out on this amazing celebration and join the locals for a night you will never forget.

Learn English for Culture

Fortunately, if you want to meet other English learners and put your skills to the test, you can attend local meetups organized by the Miami-Dade Public Library, located at 9445 Coral Way, where you can learn basic English skills and make friends who also need to work on their language skills. The event takes place every week, and it’s completely free, but you do need to register to attend. At the meetings, there will be an English teacher present who will act as a moderator, and you’ll be placed with other learners with a similar level, so you can attend no matter how fluent you are. Additionally, it’s a great place to socialize with other members of the foreign-born community, who can give you tips on how to improve your language skills and recommend useful learning materials you can use on your own or with a qualified teacher.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General English

These English lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival English by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough English to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of English culture and those who just wish to pass a particular English exam.

Thanksgiving Celebrations

You have surely heard of Thanksgiving (at least in the movies!), one is one of the most well-known American traditions. Every fourth Tuesday of November, Americans observe a large meal with their families (and sometimes a religious service) to commemorate the harvest feast shared by the English colonies with the indigenous Native Americans that lived in the area. The dishes of this national holiday usually feature turkey, pumpkin, potatoes, and cranberries, but many feasts differ from family to family and from culture to culture. The common factor is the objective of this meal: to share a moment with loved ones while giving thanks. Click here to learn more about Thanksgiving!
