What does Austin mean?

by Roger Graham
What does Austin mean? It means amazing food and friendly people. It means safe, green outdoor spaces. The city attracts people from all over the world. They come for the weather. They come to improve their careers. They come here for the rewarding educational opportunities. These are also the reasons that I came to Austin. This city is known as one of the great cultural cities on Earth, especially when it comes to music and film. Among the many festivals that the city has, two of the biggest are SXSW (South By Southwest) and ACL (Austin City Limits).


One of my favorite memories of Austin was the first time that I attended Austin City Limits music festival. It takes place in Zilker Park, which is near downtown Austin. There were hundreds of bands playing during the weekend. I did not know many of them, but that did not matter. My friends and I went to all six different stages in the park where musicians were performing.

Local restaurants served food in the park, and, of course, you could buy plenty of souvenirs and sample local beer. At the end of the weekend, I was exhausted after three days of music, food and sun. I had discovered several bands that are now my favorites. This is just one of the many unique cultural experiences that Austin has to offer. It is a city that provides endless chances to explore, meet new people and surprise yourself. - Roger

English is a tool to defend and expose your beliefs.
Do not take it for granted. 

By Sara Abdo 5/20/19
Life goes beyond eat and breathe, and as you grow up, society expects you to own ideas and good jobs. Due to that, you might be respected for relatives and, who knows, also for the international community.  However, an important note remembers: as you were created in a culture, others developed theirselves in different costumes and languages. To occupy your space in the world and practice your ideas, then, you need to communicate your sakes and desires. How? The management of English empowers you to say what you want to whoever and in wherever you wish.
Especially for the ones who intend to travel, discuss and be integrated with the international community, English is as tough as required. This language is similar with any else, and for most people extra effort is necessary in order to, at least, not get struggle when talking to someone.
The good news is that the issue is rewarding in every single time that you disagree with someone and make your opinion listened just because you could express yourself in other part of the world. Or, even better, when you join yourself to others and support their ideas because it is important for you, also.

Achieving dreams through ESL.

By Junia Freitas - 2/18/19
I have a dream of living abroad when I retire.  I have not picked the country I want to live in yet, but it will probably be one where English is spoken, fortunately, there are a lot of options. Many years ago I studied English, and now I want to develop my English to travel around the world and to visit my daughter, who lives in US.

So, I decided to spend a couple of months studying English at Aston International Academy in Austin, TX. I think that was a good decision because I am discovering new problems, getting advice from teachers, and practicing daily. I am seeing what I have been doing correctly and learning just as I go.
​The teachers, the directors, and their staff have all been helpful and kind. The classes help us learn in different ways - we use books, play games, watch movies, have presentations for our colleagues, go to museums, just to name a few activities. I’m really having fun and enjoying the courses! When I go back to Brazil, I will keep practicing with the tools I have learned at Aston International Academy. The next time I travel to another country, I know that my English will be better!
