Additional information
Positive aspects of school
The prices are low, especially for the afternoon course. The location is good, although not entirely in the city center. The teachers and school staff are all very nice.
Negative aspects
The atmosphere is more like a "free speech" style, where people can express their ideas on a particular theme rather than following a textbook! Many Japanese may feel overwhelmed at first.
City/place
I recommend it to those who want a safe place with English as the official language, a few Japanese, and a little bit of the countryside but still want to keep prices low.
Quality of teaching / language progress
It's perfect because it's inexpensive and allows me to get up late!
Accommodation
The house was spacious and spotless. There were no problems with showers or laundry. I wished I could cook my meals!

Positive aspects of school
Superb school, well organized courses and activities. Incredible team, the courses are well done, you learn a lot, you participate a lot orally in the courses, which makes you evolve very quickly and you get to know others and form bonds, which are very important when you're far from your family. I loved school.
Accommodation
Very cold room, the radiator comes on from time to time. They can come into the room when we're not there, I don't know why, and they don't even ask, or warn us when they're coming. Very far from the city center. The food is not good, small portions, no dessert. You can't eat with the host family, so you can't speak English with them. Bathroom used by 3/4 students, not cleaned by some, family doesn't organize schedules to clean bathroom. Animal in cage in the scullery, next to the microwave and refrigerators. Dog smell in the scullery, not pleasant when heating something in the microwave. On the plus side: it's great to have a key for each person to enter the house.

A low C1.
