Miami, with its turquoise beaches, Art Deco architecture and lively Latin-influenced culture, is America's tropical side. Its year-round summer weather makes it attractive for those who want to combine language study with a holiday.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Miami:
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Miami depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For long programs, the school reviews your proof of funds, such as bank statements, and prepares the I-20 needed for an F-1 visa.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and accommodation is easier to find.
Courses of more than 18 hours a week require an F-1 student visa. Once the school sends you the I-20, you pay the SEVIS fee and book a visa appointment at the US Embassy or a consulate. Short courses of fewer than 18 hours a week can be taken on a tourist (B-2) visa.
Language students in America have very limited work rights: the F-1 visa does not allow off-campus work, and a tourist visa does not allow work at all. Once you move on to university, on-campus jobs and internship options open up.
Accommodation in Miami Beach is expensive because of tourism, so residences and homestays arranged through the school are more economical.
Living costs in Miami are above average, with rent and restaurant prices especially high in beach areas.
Miami has the Metrorail, the free Metromover and buses, and buses run easily to Miami Beach.
Miami has a tropical climate: summers are hot, humid and rainy, winters warm and sunny. June to November is hurricane season.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Miami International Airport (MIA) take about 12-13 hours.
Miami is in the Eastern time zone, 8 hours behind Turkey in winter and 7 hours behind during US daylight saving time (mid-March to early November).
NGGlobal advisers give students planning a language course in Miami free support with comparing schools, price quotes, accommodation, the I-20 and visa documents.
Yes, Spanish is widely spoken in Miami, but you will have plenty of chances to practise English at school and in most of daily life.

Because of visa appointment times, we recommend applying at least 4-6 months ahead for long programs, and 1-2 months ahead for short courses on a tourist visa, depending on your visa status.
