One of the many perks of studying in LA? The proximity to the beach☀️🌊⛱️

Our students enjoyed a day out with the staff on the Santa Monica shore, dancing together and honoring the World Cup with a good old soccer match on the sand!

Fun fact about the Southern California shore: during the months of May, June and July (but mostly June) we experience what we call “June Gloom”. Cloudy, gray mornings due to the cool ocean air and marine layer fog - then it usually clears up into sunshine by the afternoon☁️🌤️

We can’t wait for the next beach day! Stay tuned for more CWC activities !

They might look like the same sentence, but they are NOT!⚽️🥅

• “I don’t really like” expresses a mild dislike
• “I really don’t like” expresses a strong, negative opinion

Be careful when you express your likes and dislikes! Especially when talking about socc- uhm, football. We meant football.🤐

🌮OLVERA STREET, THE BIRTHPLACE OF L.A.🙌🏼

Colorful shops, rich history, and a little taste of Mexico right in the heart of LA 🌮🌵✨
Founded in the early days of the city and known for preserving Mexican culture and heritage, it’s one of those places that makes history feel real. Bonus points for taking the Metro there with classmates instead of sitting in a classroom all day. 🚇☀️

Breaking news‼️ local man (James) learns his bloodstream was mostly iced lattes.

Thoughts and prayers to anyone currently undergoing a health journey. We know it’s especially hard when you have a shiny new coffee machine right outside of your class.
