2ヶ国留学について – セブ島発、グローバル留学サポート

Study abroad in 2 countries is a cheap and efficient way to learn English.

In recent years, more and more students are choosing to study in Western countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S., and the U.K. after fully improving their English skills in the Philippines.
By completing your English study in the Philippines and then going to a second country, you will find it easier to find a part-time job, communicate smoothly with local people and make friends, challenge yourself in the things you want to do, and save a lot of money on your study abroad expenses. There are many advantages to studying in Japan. Here are some of the advantages of studying in two countries.

Study abroad in the Philippines

One-on-one lessons with a teacher all to yourself allow even beginners to greatly improve their English skills!

studying abroad in Europe and America

After building a solid foundation in the Philippines, challenge yourself to a higher grade of English study or course in a Western country!

Advantage 1: Studying in two countries saves money.

In the Philippines, it is possible to study abroad for about 170,000-200,000 yen including dormitory fees, tuition, and meals. In Europe and the U.S., all classes are in groups, and the tuition fee alone is about 130,000-150,000 yen. Therefore, you will be able to improve your English skills through one-on-one lessons at a reasonable price. Also, since it is within easy reach of Japan, airfare is only 40,000-60,000 yen, or a few thousand yen if you use a promotion, which is a big saving point.

In the Philippines, you have the great advantage of having the teacher all to yourself in a one-on-one class. 50 minutes per class means that if you take a class in a Western country, you may or may not have 5 minutes to speak. However, in the Philippines, there are only two students in the class, which means that you can speak for at least 30 minutes. If you train your speaking ability in the Philippines, where you spend the overwhelming majority of your time speaking English, and enjoy communicating with students of various nationalities at schools in Western countries, or take English + α classes, you can maximize your English learning while keeping costs down.

total amount	From 1,550,000 yen

Studying in two countries is about 400,000 yen cheaper!

Advantage 2: Excellent system that allows you to concentrate on your studies

The major difference between studying in the Philippines and studying in the West is that in the Philippines, most schools and dormitories are combined, and laundry and cleaning services are provided. In the West, there are no such services, and in most cases, you have to do it yourself. In the Philippines, three meals are provided so that you can concentrate on your studies, and since the system does not require you to do housework, you have the great advantage of being able to devote all of your time to yourself. An efficient study abroad plan would be to concentrate on improving your English skills in the Philippines and then enjoy part-time jobs, fun, and travel to the fullest in the Western countries.

Also, since the place where you study and the place where you live are close to each other, you can naturally build the habit of studying into your daily rhythm. By going directly to the study room after meals or after taking a shower, you will be able to study continuously and naturally without stress. Some schools have swimming pools and fitness centers, so you can refresh and work out in between studies.

Advantage 3) Easier to find local part-time jobs in the area.

If you have gone to the trouble of studying in a Western country, you may want to experience places where local people come, office work, or part-time jobs that use English. However, it is a fact that you need to have a good command of English to be able to do so. If you actually want to do this kind of local part-time job, you will need to have at least a TOEIC score of 700 or higher.

In addition, the hourly wage for local part-time jobs is almost twice that of Japanese-affiliated part-time jobs. Therefore, for those who want to earn a good income, it will be easier to find a job if you improve your English skills in the Philippines.

For those who want to work in an English-speaking environment and still earn a good living, it is advantageous to improve your English skills in the Philippines in advance in order to aim for local part-time jobs.

Advantage 4: You can challenge what you want to do in the Western world.

If you study abroad in Europe or the U.S., you may want to do many things, such as making many foreign friends, obtaining a local certification, or doing an internship. However, if your English skills are not sufficient here, you may not be able to communicate well with foreigners, and the experience of learning something in English will be a hurdle. Therefore, if you acquire sufficient English proficiency before traveling to a Western country, you will have a wider range of choices. Many schools also require students to have at least an intermediate level of English to enroll in barista courses (skills that can be used in cafes, such as making coffee and serving customers), which are becoming increasingly popular these days.

English proficiency is also a requirement for admission to local universities and vocational schools, which opens up opportunities when the time comes. The Australian government also requires IELTS 5.5 or higher for employment in Australia. Therefore, even if you have a chance to get a local job or to live in Australia permanently, you may end up giving up in tears. To avoid limiting your options due to your English ability, make sure to prepare yourself well in the Philippines.

These are the advantages, but there is no doubt that it is more efficient to study in Europe or the U.S. after acquiring solid English skills in the Philippines. Below are some popular locations for two-country study with the Philippines.

Philippines + 2-country study in Australia, Canada, or New Zealand

The two-country study abroad program, which has become a popular method of study abroad, is a method of acquiring basic English skills in the Philippines and then studying in a second country (Oceania, Europe, or the United States, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the United States) to further improve your skills for more advanced study. Originally, the purpose of studying in two countries was to improve language skills, but in recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of international students who acquire not only English skills but also special skills and test preparation in Western countries, which they can use to find employment after returning to their home countries.

One-on-one classes in the Philippines allow students to improve their English skills faster while keeping prices low. Many international students now study abroad for 3 to 6 months in the Philippines and then attend school for a few months in Europe or the U.S., and then go on to university or work in the U.S. This combination of the strengths of two countries allows them to reach their future goals more efficiently. Many international students are now studying in two countries because they can reach their future goals efficiently by combining the strengths of two countries.

Australia, Canada, and New Zealand are the most popular locations for studying in two countries, but each country offers different things to do and has different features, so it is important to choose the country that best suits your objectives. In addition, what you can and cannot do depends on the type of visa you have, so it is a good idea to do your research and consult with your visa holder before making a decision. By choosing the country that suits you best, you will be able to have a wider range of options for your future.

Study abroad in the Philippines

The most popular location for studying in the Philippines is a resort area called Cebu. Even though it is a resort area, the city center of Cebu City and the beach are about 40 minutes apart by car, and students can choose between the two.

Schools in the Philippines vary greatly in terms of policies, accommodations, and food quality depending on the nationality and policies of the owner, so finding the right school for you is of utmost importance.

In addition, most schools allow students to take one-on-one classes for 6 hours or more per day, so students can concentrate on learning English all day long. Tuition fees are also reasonable, ranging from around 140,000 yen per month (tuition, dormitory fees, and meals), which is another reason for its popularity. It is especially recommended for beginners who are not confident in their basic English skills.
