If there is a sure-fire way to improve your English language skills quicker than you ever imagined, it’s to immerse yourself into local life and to embrace the culture in the United States. This is an advice all our tutors at the Harvest English Institute give to our students and the best time to try this out is right now, during the fall season!
Famous for our vibrant displays of color during fall, delicious foods, pumpkin carving and one of our favorite holidays, Halloween, fall is a great time of the year to experience America.
With the thought of gorging on candy and dressing up in a fancy dress for Halloween on our minds, here is our guide to top events near our campuses this October.
