We are continuing our fun in the sun all this August here at the Harvest English Institute with plenty to see and do across our three campuses in Newark ,NJ, Orlando FL & Los Angeles CA.
Many of our students will already be well aware that one of the best ways to practice their newfound English language skills is to get out & about, practicing! This makes the summer months with all the fab events that take place a host of wonderful opportunities. Our team of top English tutors recommend setting yourself a goal every time you head out somewhere to practice your English. It might be as simple as asking a question in a restaurant of striking up a conversation with a stall-holder at a market. If there’s an area of your English language skills that you want to improve, don’t be shy! The more you practice in real-life conversations, the easier it will become.
Here are some of our recommendations for places to visit this August where you are guaranteed a chance to practice your English.
