I studied here in fall '14. I landed in Tokyo knowing only about a dozen words (and mispronouncing half of them) and left six weeks later with the ability to carry on a normal conversation. I posted a short video of my trip if you want to see more and would be happy to answer any questions!
I completely recommend it! I met lots of people there who didn't even knew how to say hello at the beginning! You won't have any problems there. Japanese people are so nice, and they will try to help you even if they can't understand you. Give it a go :)
I'll be going in September of this year! So excited! Who will I be seeing there? :D I plan on doing vlogs and videos the entire time I'm there, so people who are considering an EF course in Tokyo will have more information before they decide if they really wanna go or not. I hope my videos will help someone in the future ^_^
@@marenstarke5979 Hey, It's been 4 years since I went so I'm not sure if it's changed, but if you can I will NOT recommend EF. There are plenty of other schools in Tokyo with the same offer and cheaper price. If you want to ask any questions feel free to contact me
I am an adult women. How is the EF accommodation? Do we have to share kitchen and to buy the items. And what aout the restrooms 🚻 do we also have to share them?? Especially individual room.
Hi, I'm going to EF Tokyo in September and I was wondering, do the teachers speak any English? Granted I know it is an immersive course to learn Japanese but I was just wondering if the teachers or staff at the school spoke English. Also was curious as to how the course structure is!
The teachers speak English of varying degrees - some are basically fluent and some are not very fluent. For sure there will be staff at the school who speak good English if you feel you need somebody to speak with about anything. Including the school director. Matt @EF TH-cam Team
Hello there. I have investigated this music, and I'm pretty sure this song was especially made for this video. That means it's not available anywhere else. Matt @EF TH-cam Team
Since the shortest time period (that I'm aware of) is 6 months long, how would a high school student usually manage this, seeing that it overlaps with the normal school year?
Hello Andrew, EF offers both short and long programs. On the "EF Languages Abroad" program you can study from 2 weeks up to 52 weeks. And then after graduation you can study on the "EF Language Year Abroad" where you study either a semester or a whole year abroad (6, 9 or 11 months). Good luck!
Me interesa ir, pero el problema es que sabran hablar español y aparte abra eso en México, que ocupo para ingresar. Pero aparte dejando en claro que mi padre no tiene suficiente confianza, supongo que sera por que soy su único hijo. Pero por favor, quiero ir. Alguien me podria brindar informacion. Soy de México, Tamaulipas abra aqui?

I really want to go. I'd like to know more about the host families. Do you stay with one family alone or do other students stay with you too in the same host family?
Well, I believe in Tokyo you stay at a host family in a single room (you won't be sharing it with anybody). however if there will be other students present, I think that depends on how much the family can take in and how many students there are. I personally believe that you will be the only student in a host family in Tokyo, since you always get a single room with the host family. I'll be going in September so when I know more I'll be sure to let you know if you're interested.
@@Robert-et1qt As far as I experiences, they everyone indeed did get a single room. But now, 7 years on and having almost graduated from Japan Studies at University, I can't truly recommend going with EF. So much was lied about, promises never delivered and health of the students was not protected, there was very much a huss-like culture of the staff while I was there. I would recommend looking into other organisations, they also don't screen their host families well at all...
I'm going from late august till early september! Since my 16th birthday will be happening around that time. I'll be staying around 2 weeks.@@amsyukine4642

I have been dealing with them for over 3 month. If I was you I would find another company. It has been a crap show. Just a bad experience so far and my daughter has even left yet.
