Annenberg Space for Photography

This past Friday, April 6, the students from NELA visited the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City.  Unfortunately, they are setting up for a new exhibit and the center was closed for observation. They only allow limited viewing.   However, when the new exhibit is open, we will return. 

After, the PC and a couple of students went to Korean BBQ in Korea town. Learning and discovery are among our core values as instructors at NELA and we try our best to help students discover new things in Los Angeles and beyond.

Field trip to Union Station / Olevera Street

Students from NELA had the opportunity to learn much of the history and origins of Los Angeles by visiting Union Station and Plaza Olvera.

They had a chance to walk through the Christmas Festive train station halls and observe as passengers cross with luggage, or stop to admire the live music.  After, everyone walked across the street to see the oldest house in Los Angeles in Olvera Street. 

 They got to learn about the rich history of the area and the diverse groups that helped make Los Angeles what it is today.  

The trip ended at the Chinese American museum, where everyone learned about the many contributions of Chinese Americans in Los Angeles.
It was a great day filled with rich history and new experiences.

On Friday, October 13th the city of Pasadena opened its museums' doors to the public. 

Once a year, the city hosts a free event where everyone gets the opportunity to discover the many museums surrounding the city center. 

 Our Pasadena TOEFL students enjoyed the multiple museum locations on Art Night.

Also, Hanine, our Arabic and French speaker, and students from the downtown LA campus went to the art walk in Pasadena! They visited different museums and art galleries and had a blast! 

It was the perfect evening!

Korean BBQ night

With the term coming to an end, the Pasadena evening students decided to take a rest from test preparation and spent the evening enjoying a savory meal.

The students found an all-you-can-eat restaurant to eat as much as they could. After a couple of hours of eating KBBQ, they decided to go home and recover from all the delicious food. It was a great way to initiate the weekend.
