Oakland's colorful and diverse neighborhoods make summing up this Bay Area city almost impossible. To explore one of California's most vibrant areas for yourself, register for English courses in Oakland. Oakland is famous for the creation of "hyphy" music, a genre of hip hop unique to the area, so an examination of the city's African-American heritage is a great place to start. Get a feel for Oakland's racial history – and practice your English – when you embark on a Black Panther Legacy Tour. On another end of Oakland's wide cultural spectrum, the city's thriving Chinese communities also offer numerous attractions for students. Check out the Fortune Cookie Factory and enjoy free samples while you see how these Chinese treats are manufactured and distributed. For a distinctly American attraction, students can tour the USS Potomac, the beautifully restored yacht lovingly referred to as "F.D.R.'s Floating White House." Students at an English school in Oakland should take advantage of the authentic ethnic cuisine available in two of Oakland's premiere dining areas. Stroll down 3-mile long International Avenue and choose from the Vietnamese fare available at the avenue's start or some of the best Mexican food you've ever had from food trucks down at the opposite end. College Avenue offers everything from native Californian to Asian Fusion cuisine, with boutique shopping interspersed throughout and gourmet grocery options centrally-located at Market Hall. Embrace ethnic and racial diversity in one of the Bay Area's most culturally influential districts when you make Oakland the site of your English education.
