Life at LCIC-CELS

LCIC gave me one of the best learning experiences of my life.

Friendly staff, modern facilities, and patient teachers who truly help you improve your English.

The environment is safe, supportive, and perfect for first-time international students. Teachers help you speak, listen, and overcome fear through real conversation in English. They are patient, warm, and always make sure you understand. And you can meet many friends from many countries.

Highly recommend LCIC if you want real progress and a life-changing study abroad experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My one-month trip to LCIC in July 2024 was an incredibly memorable experience.

My first impression was one of immense familiarity. I was amazed, wondering why it felt like a different version of Vietnam, where I used to live.

The people were lovely, friendly, relaxed, open, always smiling, caring, helpful, and willing to share. The campus and surroundings were peaceful, spacious, and full of greenery, giving a very relaxing, nature-friendly feel.

Because the Philippines is closer to the Equator, the weather is hotter and more humid than Vietnam, with summer almost year-round. The July sun was scorching, followed by alternating rain and humidity, so it might have been a little difficult to adapt to at first.

Regarding the curriculum, the training program here isn't overly theoretical but focuses more on practical communication, allowing individuals to express their opinions and thoughts independently. It's quite suitable if you want to improve your English naturally and use it immediately in daily life. Outside of class, there are experiential tours and activities (diving, hiking, exploring the sea, skydiving, city exploration, etc.), connecting with classmates, fellow travelers, and friends in the common room.

3 in 1: learning + travel + networking.

However, there are still a few areas where the school could improve its services, such as facilities or a more convenient layout of living spaces. I've seen the school's leadership quickly change the cafeteria layout at that time, so I believe that over time, LCIC will continuously improve and offer better, more professional services and support.

If you're looking for a connected study abroad experience at a reasonable price for Vietnamese students, I highly recommend LCIC ✨ 

I not only take classes with local Filipino students and international students from Korea and Taiwan, but I also live in the dormitory.

The teachers are cheerful and make the classes lively, so it's a very enjoyable school!

International students are provided with private rooms with their own bed and lockable locker, which is very reassuring.

Also, I don't feel any anxiety about being abroad.

This is because:

If I have any problems, a reliable Japanese manager will immediately assist me in Japanese.

If I get sick, a local doctor visits the school for consultations, so I can get the appropriate medicine right away. When I got sick myself, I saw a doctor, took medicine, and recovered quickly 💊

Security is also excellent; you can't enter the premises without ID, and there are security guards 24 hours a day, so it's safe and secure.

Beautiful school buildings, classrooms, student dormitories, and delicious meals included 😋

It's a great environment for studying English. 

LCIC is amazing!

I met so many international students and friends here, and even visited their countries!

The courses are like university – you can choose the classes you want, and the teachers encourage us to speak English so much! ☺️ It was the first time I found English so fun, and making friends in English was so much fun! 🥳

If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come back again!

I LOVE CEBU❣️I LOVE LCIC❣️

The school meals are delicious, with plenty of choices every day. The teachers are kind, patient, and willing to help students, making learning English easier and more fun.

The Taiwanese manager is also excellent, assisting students with any problems they encounter. Another great advantage is that there are no extra electricity charges, saving a significant amount on living expenses.

I'm a four-year international student in South Korea. I joined some Korean friends for a month-long English language experience in the Philippines.

In my opinion, Koreans are quite cold. But upon arriving in the Philippines, I felt like I was back home: the sound of roosters crowing, the friendly laughter of people. So I'm posting this picture of myself sprawled on the grass in the middle of the campus – a moment where I found myself – the friendly, simple roots of Vietnamese people.

It turns out I found those roots here, in this place called the Philippines.

English is essentially a bridge connecting A and B. My English is broken, clumsy, and awkward. But that's okay. That clumsy, awkward English connected me (A) with Taiwanese friends who also visited (B). That clumsy, awkward English helped me (A) connect with Filipinos (B): getting a ride, ordering food…

Oh, I got to reach out to the world!

Thanks to English.

This trip helped me reinforce the question of why I should learn English. It's not just about burying my head in books and taking exams all day.

And if I can't travel to other places yet, I think my time at LCIC is a beautiful start to venturing out into the world.

Oh, and while I was at it, I noticed a pretty cool Taiwanese guy! Hehe.
