Language Exchange in America

This vast nation is the third largest in the world and as such is home to a spectacularly diverse landscape. From deciduous rainforests and snowy mountain peaks to red rock deserts and gigantic glaciers, virtually every terrain is represented. Stretching more than 3000 miles, the Rocky Mountains mirror the Mississippi-Missouri River running the length of country between Canada and Mexico.

 The country has 58 stunningly beautiful National Parks to explore with iconic wildlife like buffalo and bald eagle. Awe inspiring global icons such as the Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge and the White House dominate city skylines. American football is akin to a religion, with baseball, basketball and ice hockey also widely popular. American culture is a melting pot of Native American, European and African influences. From the funk and jazz of New Orleans to the pop and hip-hop of New York, America has an unrivalled music scene running through its city’s veins.
