Student opinions about 3D Universal English Institute, Cebu City

Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
Liked
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.

  • In each lesson you will be taught in 5 areas: listening (listening is a crucial skill that is often overlooked), learning relevant vocabulary and grammar, practising speaking (spoken English) and writing.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 12, 2023
  • The availability of high-quality English teaching has long been one of the determining factors when choosing a kindergarten or school. Unfortunately, the level of foreign language acquired at school is often only good enough for writing tests and passing exams. Children never start to speak English, communicate, or hear the interlocutor well. Also, sometimes a child simply does not understand why they need this foreign language, why they need to learn it. That is why our teachers conduct all classes with children in a playful way, involving them in interesting tasks, without coercion and with pleasure.
    Maksym Sterpul, from - Oct 11, 2023
  • You study in a group with a teacher. There are no computers - just live, real communication and practice of speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary - all in a class of varying sizes.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 31, 2023
  • Yes, there is an exclusive discount that only applies when booking online here.
