Learn English in Seattle
Take an English course in Seattle, a bustling city with plenty going for it at the north-west tip of the US. In some respects it seems a city of contradictions: it is the birthplace of America’s grunge and alternative rock music scenes, yet is also the home of huge business such as Starbucks, Amazon, and Microsoft. As well as a diverse population, the surrounding landscape is magnificent, with amazing wilderness hikes and mountain skiing both possible.

- Seattle is a large city with an urban population of three and a half million
- Accommodation is available in the form of homestays and a student residence
- The best way to get around Seattle is by bus or train
