Most recent student reviews of language schools in Fukuoka

Genki Japanese and Culture School

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.

Genki Japanese and Culture School

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.

Genki Japanese and Culture School

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.

Every one was very kind
Be aware not to take two courses if you stay more than 2 weeks. 4hours/day is enough and let yourself time to enjoy your stay.
