Fukuoka ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Fukuoka
What our students said about Fukuoka
I was more there for the Japanese learning than nightlife and finding interesting things to do. I never used the bus or train system. I did walk 40 minutes to the zoo and the botanical gardens (both were the best I'd ever been to, amazing even).
It has everything you would expect in a big city and is more easily organised than Tokyo. There are many options for afternoon trips, day trips and weekend excursions.

Very interesting, well linked to other Japanese cities. Good food.

The Admin and Teachers were wonderful. They found me a nice place that was very, very convenient to the school (within walking minutes). The teachers patiently wrote all things in both kanji and hiragana on the board.
You couldn't find a better staff. You could improve on class structure however.

Pleasant atmosphere, everyone is very nice. There is a clear focus on speaking. Small classes so that everyone can/must actively participate in the lessons.

Good organisation the teacher adapted to the students. Afternoon activities are great fun but they charge 10000 yen = 65 euros.

The relation with the teachers, though it is expected if we take into account the price of the course.
Not everything is perfect. Some things in the organisation are hard to understand. It is a school that accepts young students so some teachers should improve their methodology. But the teachers are eager to help.

It's like a second house where you come and learn so much. The teachers are very good and also very friendly.
I had such an amazing time here. The teachers, the other students and the people from Fukuoka made that possible. I met a lot of people from all over the world and a lot of Japanese people. I will definitely comeback soon, because I liked it so much and I want to speak Japanese even better.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They'll help you with anything and go out of their way to do so. Also, you get a free personal cup while you're there. You have a selection of beverages, microwave, DVD/Manga/bookselection you can rent or even keep (the books) for free. Also, you get flash cards, so you can learn all the vocab and Kanji quickly and, if your a woman, you get a personal alarm (not that it's really necessary but it's definitely reassuring).
You can get a language exchange partner for free, if you ask at the school or mention it when you book the course. They'll find you a suitable Japanese exchange partner, so you really get to speak as much Japanese as possible.
