Student comments about "General 20" at LSI - Language Studies International
Miyuki 5.0
"It is enough for people whose purpose is getting friends and learn English slightly. On the other hand, if you want to learn English well, it is better to take 24 hours class."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Quality of teaching / language progress: It is enough for people whose purpose is getting friends and learn English slightly. On the other hand, if you want to learn English well, it is better to take 24 hours class.
