Studying in Toronto, the Multicultural City

By Eslexplorer @eslexplorer

Studying English with one of our Last Minute Promotions is not only a chance to improve your language skills to help with your career, academic or personal ambitions. It's also a chance to experience new cultures, try new foods, and meet new people - learning English can really unlock the doors to a whole new world of possibilities.

Studying in Toronto, the multicultural city

One of the cities where we offer our 50% off promotions, studying in Toronto, gives you an unrivalled opportunity to try out those new possibilities in a truly multicultural town. Just under half of the people who live in Toronto were born in another country, with the United Nations Development Programme ranking Toronto as the second most diverse city in the world.

A number of groups have clustered together over many years to form identifiable neighbourhoods within Toronto. Some of these areas include Little Italy, Chinatown, Portugal Village, Koreatown, the Danforth (a Greek area), and Roncesvalles (a Polish area). As well as these larger neighbourhoods, there are restaurants, social clubs, religious buildings, newspapers and business associations for people from all over the world, from Egypt, to the Punjab, to Vietnam, and many more.

What are the advantages of this for the ESL learner in Toronto? On the one hand, wherever you're from, you'll be able to find something you're familiar with, or someone who can chat to you about home, reducing the culture shock that people sometimes experience when they move to another country. On the other hand, you'll constantly be exposed to new people with interesting stories to chat to with your steadily improving English.

Plenty of people in Toronto, Canada are learning English as a second language themselves, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to practice and help one another - and people will be very understanding of any problems you're having, so don't be afraid to ask for help!

So don't delay - head on over to check out our last minutes promotions and see how much you could save learning English in Toronto!
