Je suis tout simple tombé amoureuse du Japon, de sa culture et de ses habitants et leurs valeurs. Une école avec de très bon professeurs , wifi et boissons ainsi que divertissements. Une famille très aimante, présente et impliquée avec moi.Ils étaient juste incroyable je n’ai absolument aucun mauvais souvenirs avec eux.

Énormément d’allemands dans la même classe. Du coup, dur d’éviter qu’ils discutent en allemand même durant les cours. Les classes sont minuscules, pour travailler c’est pas l’ideal. Difficile de poser ses différents cahiers. Le livre était peu utilisé à part pour quelques exercises ou listes de vocabulaire. Mais je l’ai gardé car il contient pas mal d’explications grammaticales. Nous avions pas mal de devoirs ce qui entretenait ce que nous apprenions. Nous changions fréquemment de professeurs, ce qui impliquait de recevoir des méthodes différentes, et je pense que cela était constructif. Bonne qualité d’enseignement. J’étais dans un appartement à 25 Minutes en transport de l’école. Minuscule, je m’y attendais mais fonctionnel dirons-nous. Il manquait cela dit des choses importantes pour manger. Manger un kiwi avec des baguettes c’est pas l’idéal... ni couteau ni fourchette ni cuillère. Lorsqu’on loge des étudiants étrangers, on s’attends à ce type de besoins. Il n’y a pas non plus de séchoirs à linge à la buanderie comme pourtant décrit dans le prospectus. Et surtout, j’etais censée accéder facilement à internet ce qui a pris plusieurs jours. Ils pourraient également installer des poubelles à tri afin d’éviter de devoir garder dans ce minuscule appartement des poubelles pour trier correctement comme exigée. Ils ont simplement 2 gros contenaires un pour bouteilles Pet et un pour le général. Du coup, j’ai trié pour rien tous mes déchêts. C’est la 3ème fois que j’utilise vos services pour un voyage linguistique, de manière générale, j’ai toujours été très satisfaite du choix de vos écoles, de la qualité du service et des prix.

Die Schule ist direkt gelegen am Hanazono-Schrein. Das hatte schon ein besonderes Flair. Tokio als größte Metropole der Welt ist sicherlich nicht für jeden was. Doch wenn ich nicht gerade zur Rushhour zur Schule musste, war es deutlich besser.

Host family
If you choose to stay with a local family, you’ll have the chance to dive into the Japanese culture and discover the habits of this unique and welcoming population. You’ll stay in a single room, share the bathroom with the family members and benefit from half-board or breakfast only. Bed linen and towels are provided. The families usually live 45-60 minutes from the school by public transport. Have an incredible experience in Tokyo!

Private Guesthouse
Together with other international students or locals, you'll live in an apartment or a house located about a 40-minute commute from the school. You'll stay in a single bedroom equipped with simple furniture, and other rooms (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) are shared. Bed linen is provided but bath towels are not. This option offers independence and the opportunity to explore Tokyo as you please!

Private apartment
Offering similar comfort to that of a hotel room, this option is, however, more affordable. Bookings are made by the week. The single bedrooms are ensuite and include a lounge area and a kitchenette. Please bring your bath towels (bed linen provided). Most private apartments are located in the centre of Tokyo.

Dormitory / shared bedroom
With this option, 2 to 6 international students or local people share a room equipped with bunk beds, desks and chairs. The kitchen, bathroom and other common rooms are shared. Bedlinen is provided on site but you must bring your own bath towels. This option offers little privacy but allows for great encounters with participants from all over the world. It will take you approx. 40 minutes by public transport to go to the school. Prices and information on request.

In Tokyo, you don’t have to choose between shopping in cutting edge commercial centres or visits to traditional, peaceful monuments. The city has both. Along with a very wide choice of leisure options and places to discover.
The Meiji sanctuary, the Imperial Palace, the authentic Asakusa district or Inokashira Park give you an insight into the impressive gap between modernity and tradition which defines Japan and its capital city so well. Every week, the school offers a cultural programme which will allow you to learn more about Japanese calligraphy, pottery, cuisine and flower decorations. Together with students from all over the world, you will explore the richness and subtleties of this age-old, mysterious culture.
