If you study English in Cebu, Philippines, without stress and while having fun, that's it. Jeong * Woong, Korea GapYear Participant |
# Hello. I am a job seeker who has gone to the Philippines for language study.
Hello, I am a job seeker who left for a gap year to gain various experiences through the 'Study English in Cebu, Philippines, without stress and while having fun!' project.
With the mindset of trying to have as many experiences as possible before I die, I knocked on the door of the gap year and
challenged myself to study abroad in the Philippines.
* For Jeong O-woong, who challenged himself to live a life true to himself, a personalized 1:1 mission was provided, allowing him to engage in activities of his choice and truly enjoy his gap year.
# I wanted to take on a real challenge through language study in the Philippines.
I wanted to take on a real challenge through language study in the Philippines.
At first, I was worried about going to a new environment, so I planned to spend my gap year in Japan where I could communicate easily.
However, I decided to break free from my vague fears of a new environment and chose the Philippines, an English-speaking country.
After deciding on language study in the Philippines, I quickly prepared for departure.
I received detailed information regarding departure from Korea Gap Year, and I was able to successfully complete my departure preparations by referring to the additional information they provided via email.
# I appreciated being accepted for who I am.
Through the language training program in the Philippines, I was able to take classes with friends from diverse countries and backgrounds, building lasting friendships.
In Korea, I often worried about how people viewed me, which made it hard for me to pursue what I love and want to do.
However, in the new environment of the Philippines, I experienced a sense of freedom and learned to love my true self.
The friends I met here accepted me for who I am. This was the aspect I liked the most and found truly touching.
#I felt proud to have my friends encourage me to take on challenges.
After discovering my true self, I shared my changed thoughts with a friend I was studying with.
Encouraged by my story, my friend took the first step to face their own challenges,
and seeing my friend take on challenges made me feel proud as well.
Through the language training program in the Philippines, I have embraced new challenges and experiences, and I am now confident that I can take on true challenges without fear.
# What is a Day Like in a Language Program in the Philippines?
Classes start at 8 AM and end at 5:10 PM.
After class, I swam with friends at the accommodation and we had a party together.
With a set schedule, we had classes on weekdays and traveled to various places in Cebu during our free time on weekends.
