Rennert Bilingual

Rennert Bilingual invites you to join us in the most exciting city in the world. New York City will be your classroom, immersing you in American English while you experience the city's incomparable attractions and cultural variety.Since 1973, Rennert Bilingual has taught English-as-a-Foreign-Language to people from more than 40 countries. Our experience has helped us to develop a focused and flexible program for both the serious student who wishes to pursue business or advanced study in the USA and the traveler who wishes to combine survival English with sightseeing. Rennert Bilingual is conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Grand Central Station and the United Nations. Each classroom has a large window offering a fabulous view of the Manhattan skyline and plenty of natural light.

No place else is quite like New York. Simply stated, we have more of the best to delight and entertain than anywhere in the world: 150 world-class museums, 18,000 restaurants of all types and price ranges, scores of Broadway theaters, and an unbelievable array of shopping. And no other city has such a diversity of people and cultures. Where else can you see Chinese dragon dancers, Caribbean stilt dancers, and Moroccan belly dancers in the same day? Where else can you hurl darts in an Irish pub and then try your skill on a Neapolitan bocce court right down the street? Are there other places where you can sway to a reggae beat on your way to hear a German opera? Or go from a room full of Dutch Old Master paintings to one filled with cutting-edge fashion? And where else in the world can you lunch on Japanese sushi and enjoy hearty Brazilian feijoada for dinner? Welcome to New York, where the only limit is your imagination.
