Most recent student reviews of language schools in Cebu City

5 month in Philippines was a fantastic journey for me. I meet many inspiring teachers and friendly, sometimes beautiful Japanese students. My progress was hudge, during the course i started to read, sing, I watched movies in English. I got a great result on the theory test as well. At the school everything worked great, but in Philippines sometimes an easy problem is not very easily solved. Visa extension is one of the examples. Friendly people are another advantage, sometimes they ask you for money but they are much more trustworthy than in other countries.

Information about Cebu City

Why Cebu City? Cebu is the country's oldest city and it was the first Spanish settlement and capital of the Philippines. It is a bustling metropolis and the hub of over three million people. Aesthetically, it's gritty and not exactly easy on the eye, but if you are willing to brave the traffic there are a number of fabulous beaches and dive sites nearby. There has been a huge increase in the number of English-language schools opened in the city in recent years which gives the place a growing cosmopolitan feel. Large numbers of students from Korea and China often come here to study. The City's energy is infectious and with the main airport being expanded to accommodate many more domestic and international flights, the city's prosperity seems set to grow more.
