What's the best way to learn English?
For Momoe, an Intensive Course student at Palms, the best way is to volunteer in the local community.
"I have free time here in Hawaii and I want to be able to use English outside of school".
Momoe is 18 years old. In Tokyo, she goes to school and has a part-time job.
Here in Hawaii, she studies English and volunteers at an outdoor playgroup for kids.
Three days a week after her morning English classes, Momoe walks over to the park and spends her afternoons interacting with local coworkers and playing with kids.
"It's a great way for me to improve my English. Kids speak English differently than adults so at first I couldn't really understand them. I'm used to it now so I can communicate with them".
"If you come to Hawaii and want to improve your English, I really recommend that you volunteer. Besides helping with my English, being a volunteer has given me a deeper connection to Hawaii and the people who live here".
