WALES in Baguio is really a great pick. It’s super conveniently located in the city center, just a stone’s throw from SM Mall—grabbing food or shopping is totally hassle-free, no trouble at all with daily life. It’s a small school with not too many students, so teachers can pay attention to everyone. There are loads of one-on-one classes, which makes learning really targeted. Whether you’re brushing up on basic English and speaking, cramming for IELTS, or learning business English, it’s perfect for all of that. And you have to speak English on campus—this immersive practice actually gets you brave enough to open your mouth, and your listening and speaking skills improve so fast. No need to stress even if your English is just so-so; the teachers are really patient and will guide you step by step to speak up. Accommodation is a breeze too. The on-campus dorms have everything you need, plus 24-hour management, so you’re totally safe and secure. The students are from different countries, so you can practice your English just by chatting with them in daily life, and even make new friends. The overall cost-performance is awesome, way cheaper than studying in Europe or the US. If you want to really work on your English, this one’s a solid choice—you won’t regret it.

My name is Jane, I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Taiwan. I chose to study in Baguio because the environment here is very comfortable and the weather is pleasantly cool. Compared to other cities, life here feels much more relaxed, which helps me stay calm and focused. It’s also a great city for walks and exploring, making the overall experience very enjoyable.

I decided to attend WALES Language School mainly because of its welcoming and home-like learning environment, which made it easy to concentrate on my studies. The teachers are extremely friendly and patient, always taking the time to help when I had questions. The classrooms have a relaxed atmosphere without stress, allowing students to learn English comfortably. I was also impressed that most of the teachers and staff remembered every student’s name, showing how caring and dedicated they are.

The school’s facilities are excellent. The cafeteria offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all delicious and generously portioned, and the chefs are very friendly. During my stay, I lived first in a double room, which was spacious and comfortable, and later in a triple room, which, though smaller, was still well-equipped and convenient. Both dormitories were close to the classrooms, clean, and furnished with desks and internet access, making studying and reviewing lessons easy. The teachers here are truly amazing, patient, and supportive, helping students overcome difficulties while maintaining a strong academic atmosphere. I deeply appreciated the dedication of all staff members—from teachers to administrative, dining, cleaning, and security staff—who made my stay pleasant and supportive.

During my month here, I saw significant improvements in my English. I gained confidence in speaking, learned useful test strategies for IELTS, and benefited from the English-Only Policy, which encouraged me to practice both inside and outside the classroom. Group practice sessions with peers also helped me correct mistakes and learn more effectively.

I would highly recommend WALES Baguio to anyone wanting to improve their English. The school has a relaxed, supportive atmosphere with fun activities like monthly farewell parties where teachers perform, making it easier to interact and practice English with classmates. Even in just a month, I felt I had made great progress, and I believe students not only learn English here but also get the chance to use it in everyday life. It’s truly a highly recommended place for learning and growing in English.

My name is Liao-Yi Syuan (Emma), I’m 21 years old, and I’m from Taiwan. I chose to study in Baguio because of its cool climate and relaxed pace, which makes it easier to focus on learning. The city’s atmosphere, full of language schools, also creates a sense that “this is a place for studying,” which really helped me get into the right mindset.

I decided to study at WALES Language School because it offers a simple, practical approach to learning English. The focus is on actually using the language rather than just following strict rules or formal progress. I especially appreciated the one-on-one sessions and small classes, which made speaking English feel less stressful and allowed me to build my confidence gradually.

The facilities at WALES were great. Meals were well-balanced and filling, and if you wanted more, seconds were always available. The staff even delivered meals to my room if I wasn’t feeling well, which was a very thoughtful touch. The dormitory was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with basic amenities and twice-weekly cleaning. There were also facilities for cooking if I wanted to.

The teachers were amazing. Each had a different style, but all encouraged students to speak and ask questions. They were patient and supportive, helping me feel less nervous about making mistakes and more confident practicing English. Their guidance really helped me get into the flow of learning.

After my time at WALES, I feel much more comfortable speaking English aloud. I’m not afraid to express myself even if my English isn’t perfect yet, and I can understand more when listening. Most importantly, I no longer feel resistant to learning English—this has been the biggest change for me.

I would definitely recommend WALES Baguio to anyone who wants to improve their English but feels nervous about speaking. It’s a supportive and safe environment where you can gradually build confidence, practice freely, and feel proud of your progress.

I chose to study English in Baguio after considering the overall factors such as climate, safety, cost, and environment.
Among the schools there, I decided on WALES because of its convenient location, small and compact setting, and because I heard it has many senior students.
Regarding the location in particular, there are many delicious restaurants and cafés within walking distance, so I was able to enjoy eating out. During my first month, I used the school cafeteria for almost all three meals. However, to be honest, except for the rice, the side dishes were often served cold, and I sometimes felt the seasoning was too strong. As a result, during the remaining two to three months, I mostly chose to eat dinner outside.

In class, all the teachers were very dedicated and passionate about teaching. They also gave me a lot of praise, which helped build my confidence.
When I first arrived, I could barely communicate beyond connecting a few words. However, over the course of three months, although I didn’t strongly feel the change myself, I gradually became able to communicate using simple grammar. Of course, there were times when I used my smartphone if I didn’t understand something, but when I went out to eat with my classmates, I was able to communicate entirely in English.
WALES is the only place where I have experienced studying abroad, but if I come again, I would choose WALES once more. That’s because I had a truly satisfying overall experience during my stay.
In the end, everything depends on you. However, the teachers and staff are always there to support you, so you can come with confidence and peace of mind.

I chose to study in Baguio because of its comfortable climate and good safety.
Among the schools there, the biggest reason I chose WALES was its more mature and calm student age group. Thanks to that, I was able to spend my time without anxiety. In addition, unlike many other schools, it is conveniently located close to the city center, which made my daily life very convenient and fulfilling.
As for the school meals, I enjoyed three meals a day without getting tired of them. On weekends, I tried local food, but since many dishes were a bit oily, I really appreciated the school meals. Regarding the dormitory, I think the experience may vary depending on the room and roommate, but if you have any concerns, you can consult the school and they will help improve the situation. In my case, I stayed in a shared room with a private space and a window. It was bright, and the room was carefully cleaned twice a week, so I had no inconvenience.
In class, it was my first time being taught English entirely in English. Whenever I didn’t understand something, the teachers explained it using different words and sentences until I could fully understand. Even when I struggled to find the right words, they were patient and never rushed me, which helped me overcome my embarrassment about speaking English.
Through studying at WALES, I was able to expand my vocabulary, which improved both my listening and speaking skills. I also learned that intonation is just as important as the words themselves, rather than speaking in a flat tone.
I love traveling and have visited many countries, but I always felt insecure about speaking English because I would just list words and rely on momentum. Although my study period was only one month, I gained confidence by asking my teachers about small questions and clearing up my doubts one by one. I’m truly grateful to the supportive staff and the dedicated teachers who motivated me every day. Thanks to them, I was able to grow.
I genuinely feel that I’m glad I chose this school.
The location is excellent, so you can enjoy Baguio while studying. Make the most of your English study experience at WALES!
