La ville est très agréable et on se sent en sûreté et les autochtones sont très aimables . J'ai donc vraiment apprécier ce voyage qui pour moi a été de l'aventure chaque jour. Le seul point négatif est l'indépendance des jeunes, je ne conseil donc pas ce voyage pour des jeunes âgés entre 16-18 qui ne savent pas se débrouiller seuls car il y avait 2 activités organisées par l'école/semaine si vous voulez visiter c'est l'aventure( même si la famille peu aider, elle travail souvent donc vous êtes totalement livré à vous même ). Cependant si vous n'avez pas peur et adorez prendre des risques, et que vous êtes une personne indépendante qui n'a besoin de l'aide de personne c'est fait pour vous. Oui pour ceux qui ont quand même un petit bagage en japonais car les cours se donnaient en japonais même en tant que débutante et savoir bien parler et comprendre l'anglais pour les consignes. Quelques professeurs allaient trop vite pour des débutants. Ma famille était super ! Mais je pense en général que les japonais sont des personnes respectueuses qui sont très aimables ( 2 filles dans ma classe étaient dans des familles et s'y plaisaient tout au temps que moi)

Ce séjour à Fukuoka était génial, la ville en soit n'est pas particulièrement belle mais l'ambiance est très agréable et les japonais y sont avenants. L'école était toute aussi géniale et la famille était adorable. Ce séjour aura été un sans-faute, je ne trouve aucun point négatif si ce n'est peut-être la ville de Fukuoka qui en elle-même n'est pas si intéressante que ça. Je recommande vivement l'école GenkiJacs. L'école GenkiJacs est géniale, les professeurs sont très performants et d'une grande gentillesse, les cours sont très amusants, si bien qu'on ne voit pas l'heure passer. Le staff est de même très gentil, les activités proposées sont nombreuses et variées. Le point fort de l'école est je pense le lounge dans lequel les élèves peuvent discuter, se reposer, jouer aux jeux vidéos etc., l'ambiance y est très chaleureuse. Très bonne méthode de travail basée sur le célèbre livre Genki qui est selon moi le meilleur pour apprendre le japonais. Les professeurs utilisent des dessins, jeux et nombreux systèmes intuitifs et amusants qui permettent de mieux comprendre et intégrer les points d'apprentissage. La famille était adorable, très à l'écoute et particulièrement généreuse (ils m'ont offert de nombreux cadeaux avant de partir et m'offraient un dessert tous les soirs alors que je n'avais pas la demi-pension). Le seul point ennuyant est le fait qu'ils ne parlaient pas du tout anglais, rendant la communication difficile sachant que je suis débutante en japonais. Cela entraînait des quiproquo et des incompréhensions. Les activités proposées sont très sympas, néanmoins peu d'activités sont proposées pour ceux qui ont pris cours standard, il serait de même bien à l'avenir de proposer des activités plus "traditionnelles".

Le séjour linguistique a été très riche en découvertes et en expériences.Parfois un peu difficile d'être à l'autre bout de la Terre et fatigant en terme d'énergie, mais si c'était à refaire je signerai tout de suite! L'emplacement de l'école est idéal, à moins de 10 minutes d'une importante gare de Fukuoka. L'école en elle-même est un peu petite par rapport aux nombres d'étudiants qu'elle accueille. À midi on se marche dessus, mais heureusement le personnel accepte que l'on mange dans les salles de classes.Celles-ci sont parfois un peu étroites, et la climatisation est parfois aussi un peu désagréable. Mais globalement elles sont parfaitement équipées, lumineuses et avec de la place pour poser notre matériel. Nous étions beaucoup de suisses à fréquenter cette école, mais peu de suisses romands. Globalement la diversité des nationalités étaient vraiment un plus.Les professeurs ont toutes et tous leur méthode d'enseignement ce qui rend chaque cours unique et intéressant. Ils étaient toujours prêts à nous aider en cas de besoin! La famille d'accueil était vraiment adorable.Elle me proposait moult sorties et activités, et s'assurait que je sois toujours bien. Parfois c'était difficile de leur faire comprendre que mon niveau en Japonais était "débutant" et que j'avais de la peine à communiquer avec eux. Le père d'accueil semblait attendre de moi que je parle japonais constamment avec mes nouveaux camarades, ce qui est globalement impossible, le peu de vocabulaire que j'ai ne me permettant pas de discuter convenablement.J'ai mis 4 étoiles à la chambre uniquement parce que je n'avais aucune armoire pour ranger mes vêtements. Seuls quelques cintres sur une barre de fer me permettait d'accrocher mes vestes et pantalons.Sinon ma chambre et petit salon étaient vraiment spacieux! Chaque semaine un fête est organisée le vendredi, permettant de rencontrer d'autres étudiants ou de découvrir des événements de la vie locale à Fukuoka.Chaque jour de congé est remplacé par une excursion scolaire gratuite.Le personnel est toujours disponible et accueillant si on a la moindre question! Ce serait avec plaisir que je partagerais mon expérience à Fukuoka avec de futurs étudiants!

Testimonials

Elise

Genki Japanese and Culture School, Fukuoka
Duration: 4 weeks

I stayed in Fukuoka, Japan, for 1 month.
My trip was good. The school staff welcomed me very well and teachers were helpful and very patient in teaching the language.

My class included 5 students, which is much better for learning.
My host family was great and I am still in touch with them. They made me discover the real Japanese cuisine.
There are many places to visit and it is impossible to get bored. Japanese people are extremely warm and helpful; in 3 different occasions, I struggled to find an address and, each time, someone took me the place I was looking for.
It was an enriching trip; I would love to go back to Japan.

Thank you ESL and Sophie for turning this trip into a success!

Daria Seccia

Genki Japanese and Culture School, Fukuoka
Duration: 3 weeks

I loved my language study stay and I am glad I could live this exciting, new experience. I could get to know my host family, the school staff and the other students better. They were all very friendly. Unfortunately, I don’t have any picture of the school, but here is a picture of myself in Marina Town, which is located close to the house of my host family. If you would like to see more pictures, you’ll find them on Facebook. I would like to go on another trip like this one soon.

Host family
The host families carefully selected by the Genki school have a great sense of hospitality and a real desire to share their language and culture with you. Most of the families live near the city centre, around 30 minutes from the school by public transport. You will stay in a single room with breakfast or half board provided. Living with a Japanese family is an excellent opportunity to discover Japanese customs and culinary traditions but also to practise the language daily. You needn't worry about your level of Japanese; even beginners manage to make themselves understood with these welcoming Japanese families.

Sharely Style Hakata residence
You will stay in an air-conditioned single room fitted with a private bathroom and share the laundry facilities and common kitchen with the other guests. Bed linen is provided but towels are not. The rooms are in keeping with Japanese standards and are therefore relatively small, but decorated in the European style. It will take you around 20 minutes by public transport to get to the school.
