The biggest reason I determined to study English is that I wanted to talk with native speakers. I wanted to know other countries cultures and people.

Goal was “Being able to use proper words/sentences” “Being inspired by cultural background, social back ground and history”.
I chose here WALES because “Good location to get around some places and feel ambience in downtown” “Flexibility that does match adult” “Environment which I prioritize Wi-fi speed because of work”.

I have improved especially in my mind which I am not afraid of talking with foreigners and enhancement of Listening and Speaking!! Anyhow what I could study with my own relaxed style was the most sufficient thing.
I would like to tell you all “ Study not only English but also culture, history, perspective and people so that you can find other sights to think”.

Go abroad, feel other cultures!
I decided to come here because I wanted to enjoy traveling abroad more! Since I got many support from Japanese staffs before coming here, I did not have to be so nervous.

I stayed here only for 3 weeks, so I do not think I improved my English skill so much…. However, the experience here motivated me to keep studying in the future! I had good teachers and friends, and spent very fun time with them.
In the academy, I used Wifi smoothly, but sometimes there were problems with facilities. Also, because of the humid and damp weather in Baguio, I had to care about my room and belongings not to get mold growing… In those cases, it is better to ask staffs for supports.

I know we are always nervous before coming here, but once you come, you will get used to it and enjoy what you really want to do! In addition, you can have a lot of friends here and mingle with different nationalities. And of course you can enjoy your own time by going shopping and restaurant after school.
It is real fun to know different cultures! Why don’t you come and try it?

Great school for Beginners!
The reason why I decided to study English is in order to use it during traveling. I chose ESL and 3 share this time but my speaking was beginner level that I can speak word by word and understand a little…
There are many serious students in WALES with small amount of people. EOP(English Only Policy) is not so strict, so it let me feel a bit comfortable…haha. I could go out and study in a café after class, that’s why, how I could live was compatible with my style:)

There are mainly one on one classes and teacher caught up with my level. Perhaps, Beginners might be better remove Group class since I was silent because of my not enough speaking skill… Honestly speaking, teachers’ methods are different depends on their personality and skill. In the Philippines, it can not be helped because one on one classes are main. If you have proper reason, it is also possible to ask to change teachers or even subjects. This can be a good system for you:)

I chose WALES because of Wi-fi. I could basically connect it but sometimes couldn’t depends on time and place… School location can totally satisfy you when you run short of groceries or you want to do shopping. You can even prepare least baggage and make up for some stuff after you come to WALES.

Of course, not only good thing that I expected but I could be satisfied with WALES:)

Hello everyone, my name is Anna coming from Japan. Today, I would like to share my feelings about Baguio as well as WALES – Widest Asian Learner English School which I have chosen to study for 3 months.

As you know, studying English in the Philippines has attracted many students from different countries, such as Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam in recent years. In particular, it is easy to meet many Japanese students in English language schools in this country. They tend to choose big cities like Cebu, Baguio, Clark, Bacolod … depending on your preference and desire. After consulting with my family and friends, I decided to choose Baguio to be trained and develop my English skills since it is the most famous academic city over the Philippines. Besides, it also has fresh, cool air and significant safety.

Then, I started to look for English schools here. Because of the huge number of English schools in Baguio, they have different weaknesses, strengths and tuition so it is a little bit difficult for me to find the accurate information. I contacted an agency which just focus on Philippine market in Japan to ask for advice. Therefore, I made a final decision of studying in WALES due to the high quality of its teaching staffs, curriculum and modern facilities as well. I am completely satisfied with my decision through what I have achieved during that time. So I will go back Japan to visit my relatives and return to WALES in January next year in order to continue my journey of an English conquest.

After almost three months in WALES, the best impression for me was the dedication of the teachers and other staffs at this school. Teachers are willing to spend more time re-explaining complex grammar, phrases … that I did not really understand until it made sense and used proficiently. In addition, my progress of learning was closely monitored by teachers during the course. As a result, my English skills improved noticeably after studying three months here. Moreover, if I encountered any difficulties in learning or even in personal life, I easily received guidance and supports from student management and other staffs.

At the same time, I also want to share with you about the great time which I had in WALES. I had the opportunity to meet and get to know many friends from all over the world: James, Ethan, Daniel from Korea; Kate, Ian, Blair from Taiwan; Dora from China; Peace, Louis from Vietnam … We shared memorable moments together: exciting trips, interesting birthday or goodbye parties. I knew there are always friends next door so my homesickness was lost.
Thanks to WALES, teachers and friends who have been with me during the last 3 months and see you in the next spring!

WALES is wonderful environment to study English. I have tree reason to recommend this academy.

Firstly, this school is multinational so I should speak English compulsorily to live here. One of the my objective to come here was improving speaking skill that’s why it was best condition. In addition, I could have various national friends especially Arab students because I had not talked with them before coming here. It was valuable experience for me then, I learned importance of the cultural mutual understanding.

Moreover, I thought that this academy’s facilities are cleanest in the school in Baguio. I’m thankful that I could study by the comfortable environment. In addition, there were not insects in Baguio city. Actually, I do not like insect so it was also good point to study here in Baguio.

Finally, I could improve my TOEIC score. When I came here my score was 705 however after taking class for two months I could get beyond 850 points continually by a practice test. I’ll take formal TOEIC after I return to Japan.
If I can get a high score, it would be the confidence to apply foreign affiliated company. I thought that my teachers devoting correspondence led to a score rise.

I strongly recommend this academy. If you come here, multinational friends and the wonderful environment would wait for you. Furthermore, it would be possible to obtain the chance to get in touch in your future.
