Choosing where to study English abroad offers diverse options, each with unique strengths. The UK, as the birthplace of English, provides deep immersion, access to prestigious universities, and rich cultural history, while Ireland is known for its exceptionally friendly locals, high percentage of native English speakers, quality education, and the ability for students to work part-time. The US attracts the largest number of international students, offering unparalleled access to top universities, diverse campus life, and immersion in globally dominant American English, whereas Canada provides high-quality education in a safe, multicultural environment with the added benefit of exposure to French. In Oceania, Australia features a high-quality education system, a multicultural atmosphere, opportunities to work while studying, and unique natural attractions, similar to New Zealand, which also boasts stunning landscapes, adventure sports, a friendly “Kiwi” culture, and part-time work rights. For more budget-friendly options, Malta, an EU member in the Mediterranean, offers affordable courses and living costs alongside sunshine and history with English as an official language, while the Philippines provides highly cost-effective programs, an immersive English-speaking environment, friendly locals, and a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures.

How can I start learning English?

To start learning English from wherever you are, begin by setting clear goals for why you want to learn. Focus initially on the absolute basics: common vocabulary (greetings, numbers, simple objects/actions), fundamental pronunciation, and basic sentence structure (like Subject-Verb-Object). Utilize accessible resources such as language learning apps (like Duolingo or Memrise), beginner websites (e.g., BBC Learning English), or introductory textbooks. Consistency is crucial, so aim for short, regular study sessions daily, and try to actively listen to and repeat simple English phrases right from the start.

How long does it take to learn English?

There’s no standard timeframe for learning English, as it heavily depends on factors like your starting level, native language, study intensity, motivation, and opportunities for practice. While reaching basic conversational ability might take several months of consistent effort, achieving fluency typically requires one to several years of dedicated study and regular use, with immersion significantly speeding up the process. Ultimately, your progress is determined by the time and quality of effort you invest.

What are the levels of English?

The most common way to describe English proficiency is using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which has six levels grouped into three main categories. Basic Users include A1 (Beginner), where you can understand and use very basic phrases, and A2 (Elementary), where you can communicate in simple, routine tasks. Independent Users are B1 (Intermediate), able to handle most travel situations and discuss familiar topics, and B2 (Upper Intermediate), capable of interacting with native speakers with reasonable fluency and understanding complex texts. Finally, Proficient Users include C1 (Advanced), who can use English flexibly for academic and professional purposes, and C2 (Mastery), signifying a near-native level of understanding and expression across almost any topic.

What is the Cambridge exam?

The “Cambridge exam” typically refers to a suite of English language qualifications offered by Cambridge Assessment English, part of the University of Cambridge. 1 These internationally recognized exams, such as B2 First (FCE), C1 Advanced (CAE), and C2 Proficiency (CPE), are designed to assess real-life English communication skills across reading, writing, listening, and speaking, corresponding to different levels of the CEFR framework. 2 Widely accepted by universities, employers, and governments globally for study, work, and immigration purposes, these qualifications are known for thoroughly evaluating practical language ability and, unlike some other tests, the certificates generally do not expire. Contact us for more information

What is the IELTS exam?

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is a globally recognized English proficiency test used for study, work, and migration purposes in English-speaking environments. It assesses four key language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking, and comes in two main versions: Academic (for university admission or professional registration) and General Training (for migration, work experience, or training programs). Widely accepted by over 12,000 organizations worldwide, including universities and immigration authorities relevant to applicants from Japan, IELTS reports scores on a 9-band scale, which are typically valid for two years.
