Through this Malaysian language study program, I gained confidence in English and I really felt that my ability to get along with people improved a lot. And I was glad to properly learn about Malaysia''s culture and travel destinations! Shall I go to Malaysia to study English with foreign friends and experience the culture? Review by Gap Year camper Kwon Yongjae (17 years old / high school student) |
# Hello! I am a first-year high school student who participated in the Gap Year Malaysia language study project!
Hello! I am first-year high school student Kwon Yongjae living in Gyeonggi-do.
I wanted to go abroad, meet various foreign friends, communicate with them, and develop an interest in English!So I was recommended this Gap Year Malaysia language study project and decided to participate!
*For high school participant Kwon Yongjae, who wanted new experiences abroad and to improve his English skills,activities offering unique challenges, opportunities to contemplate life''s direction, and personalized 1:1 missions to improve English skills were provided daily, and a Gap Year notebook was also provided to reflect on oneself and make plans.
# Preparing for the Malaysia language study!
Since it was an experience living in a new place, not Korea, and studying English, I packed my things and researched various information in advance!
And I departed determined to achieve my Gap Year goal of growing my interest in English and returning with a more positive mindset!
# In the local area, I spent time with foreign friends trying to listen to each other''s English and looking out for one another!
I continuously felt the good aspects during this Malaysia language study project, butBecause the foreign friends attending classes with me were also there to learn English, even when conversational mistakes happened they tried to listen to each other, and taking care of one another was the best part!
There were also many Japanese friends, as well as Kyrgyz and Arab friends, and we all hung out and had lots of fun parties, which I also liked haha
# A day in the Malaysia language study project!
Generally, in the morning we did group activities and individual study using textbooks. In the afternoon we took TOEIC classes individually and in groups. After that, it was free time.
# Don''t be afraid, enjoy it!
Through this Malaysian language study, I really felt that my confidence in English and my ability to get along with people improved a lot!!So if there are young people considering studying abroad,Don''t be afraid, just enjoy it!
Oh! And if you go to Malaysia, be sure to visit the National Mosque and the Pink Mosque! They were really, really beautiful! :)
#My Malaysia Language Study Preparation Tips!
- Language
: Using conversation-English apps like the English practice app (ca*e) or getting familiar with them will really help you a lot while you''re doing language study abroad!
- Accommodation
: Living together in accommodation helps you naturally get close with your housemates, and you can fully enjoy a really fun experience! Don''t be afraid, just enjoy it!
- Meals
: While staying at your accommodation you can order delivery food, but I recommend cooking yourself and sharing with your housemates!
- Packing list
: When you go to Malaysia for language study, bring items like your phone charger and an umbrella! Also pack clothes suitable for the country''s climate. Try not to bring too many clothes if possible — your laundry pile grows and you''ll end up wearing the same clothes anyway! Haha. And don''t buy charging adapters in Korea; buying them locally gives faster phone charging speeds!
My gap year is!
