“5 month in Philippines was a fantastic journey for me. I meet many inspiring teachers and friendly, sometimes beautiful Japanese students. My progress was hudge, during the course i started to read, sing, I watched movies in English. I got a great result on the theory test as well. At the school everything worked great, but in Philippines sometimes an easy problem is not very easily solved. Visa extension is one of the examples. Friendly people are another advantage, sometimes they ask you for money but they are much more trustworthy than in other countries.”

FAQ about 3D Universal English Institute, Cebu City
I am interested in a conversational course.
“The school does not offer specific courses for communication, but one can think of the "Practical ESL" programme, which combines 15 group lessons with 20 individual lessons per week, to optimise time at school and reach learning objectives more quickly. (2025)
”
”
Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - May 05, 2025
What is the format of the classes in your school?
“You study in a group with a teacher. There are no computers - just live, real communication and practice of speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary - all in a class of varying sizes. ”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 31, 2023
How to choose English courses for my child?
“The availability of high-quality English teaching has long been one of the determining factors when choosing a kindergarten or school. Unfortunately, the level of foreign language acquired at school is often only good enough for writing tests and passing exams. Children never start to speak English, communicate, or hear the interlocutor well. Also, sometimes a child simply does not understand why they need this foreign language, why they need to learn it. That is why our teachers conduct all classes with children in a playful way, involving them in interesting tasks, without coercion and with pleasure.”
Maksym Sterpul, from - Oct 11, 2023
How is the lesson structured in schools?
“In each lesson you will be taught in 5 areas: listening (listening is a crucial skill that is often overlooked), learning relevant vocabulary and grammar, practising speaking (spoken English) and writing.”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 12, 2023
I plan to go to 3D Universal English Institute - Cebu City from 1st May to 5th May, but I realized that the 1st of May is a national holiday in Philippines. Do you know if this school is going to be open on the 1st of May?
“3D Universal English Institute - Cebu City will be closed during all public holidays stipulated in the country including the 1st of May. No classes will be provided on that day or any make-up, as these are public holidays.”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 30, 2023
Can I book a course without accommodation?
“If you want to book the course in this school, you will have to take the accommodation as well. This is a mandatory option.
The different options are in the accommodation section. ”
