Additional information
Positive aspects of school
The school staff, including the teachers, were very friendly.
Negative aspects
The activities were a bit overpriced, so I didn't really get to participate in many of them.
City/place
The atmosphere in the city is very pleasant, and even strangers greet you when they make eye contact with you. However, since it is a tourist area, prices are not so economical, depending on what you are looking for. A meal at a restaurant costs over 1,000 yen.
I walked around at night and took buses, but I didn't find anything dangerous.
Accommodation
We stayed at the school, not at a guesthouse. The showers had hot water, but the flow of water was very low. The food was fairly good.

Positive aspects of school
Excellent welcome, very good teacher Martha, very friendly, and small parties for birthdays or other events.
Negative aspects
An organized activity to prepare typical deserts was to prepare a recipe for tamarindos for US$15. It was not worth that price by far.
Other comments
Very good school
City/place
Beautiful small town interesting to visit and pleasant to live in
Accommodation
The lunches were satisfactory but the other meals were not very nutritious and of insufficient quantity. I had to buy protein foods to sustain me (peanuts, yogurt and cheese).

City/place
Antigua Is a very scenery City with lot of things to do, you can do anything you like. Many places to see and shops to discover. It's in close proximity to the sea 2-3h and the food is just amazing.
Quality of teaching / language progress
I did a 40h/week course that helped me to develop a good understanding and a medium speaking ability...very intensive but worth while.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
I absolutely recommend this school!
Other comments
School encourage students to study hard which I liked a lot. It was my first time study abroad so I cannot compare with other school though.
City/place
Very good city.
Accommodation
Warm and nice family. But the rooms are so closed to each other so I could not sleep well because of the sounds of snoring.
But we had a great laugh together so it was not a big deal to me.
