Adult Language Courses in the Philippines - Facts and Benefits

This educational route for foreign students claims to be one of the most popular in recent years. Why are adult language courses so popular?

  • A charge of positive emotions

Positive reviews confirm that learning is a pleasure. The relaxed atmosphere in the classroom, active and eventful relaxation, language progress will inspire students to new achievements.

  • High quality educational services

The Philippine's educational system has absorbed all the best from world practice, but it has its own nuances, and I must say, only positive: students are waiting for a rich academic load, they are very responsible for the educational process. If in most European countries English lessons are held in the morning, here classes last all day.

Various seminars, lectures, and master classes are being organized (however, to attend them or not is a purely personal matter for each student). In addition, if in Europe there will be one teacher with you, then each lesson will lead a new one: in this way you can chat with 6 or 8 new teachers. The teaching staff deserves special attention - only carefully qualified and experienced teachers are carefully selected here. You can choose to study with a native speaker.

  • A wide range of language courses and experience in intercultural communication

Here there are excellent conditions for language practice: in this English-speaking country, 64% of the population speak English, while the locals are open and sympathetic towards tourists. In addition, a large number of prestigious schools have been opened in the country on the islands of Panglao, Palawan, Boracay, Bohol, Cebu, Mactan. About 20 language institutions are open in Manila. 

  • Saturated outdoor activities

Vacations spent in these places will long remain in the memory of students due to the exotics surrounding it: tropical forests, mighty mountains, the ocean and sandy beaches. Here you can go, perhaps, on some of the most unusual excursions: explore volcanoes, explore national reserves, go to the jungle and caves with underground rivers. Extreme sports are very popular (rafting, surfing, kiting, diving, snorkeling).

  • Tuition fees 

The cost of studying in the Philippines for a month will be about $ 1000, while courses in Europe, the USA and Canada are two or three times more expensive. For $ 400-500, here you will find a good study option and the quality will be at the highest level. The total cost involves studies, accommodation, meals + pricing is affected by your chosen direction (course saturation, number of excursions, extracurricular part).
