Japanese dinner with Tommy!





We went to a Japanese restaurant in Monterrey Park called Ramen N.A.O. Many of our Japanese classmates have been to this restaurant.  All the food there was so good and the place made us feel very comfortable. We were laughing and sharing a lot of funny stories. One of the best things about attending a school with so many cultures is learning about different food. The meal was an unforgettable memory for us and we can’t wait until the next time. :)

One of the best ways for students to get to know each other is through a good meal.  It is during these times that students begin to communicate and open up. Many students reveal information that they were once too shy to talk about.  Food has a way of making students feel they are not in school but having dinner with family.  I’m grateful that Language Systems allows me to take the students outside of the classroom and into a different environment.  Without these trips students might not discover how similar they are even though they all come from different countries.

Hike at the Donald Trump Golf Course

            

On Sunday, December 14th the South Bay LA Campus went on a hike at the Donald Trump Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes. This hike has sweeping ocean views and a picnic area.  

             

Students joined TOEFL teacher Katie and ESL teacher Kurt on this outdoor, rugged adventure. At the end, we had coffee at the indoor cafe and watched the sun go down. It was a great day for outdoor exercise on the coast of California.
