    Are you a fruit lover? Well, yes, I am.  One of my students shared her great love to Philippine fruits as well. So before she left going back to Japan, we went out and checked out the fruits we could see in market side which is located in front of food hubs. The market is known for a trading site for fresh beef meat and also fresh fruits and vegetables, many people also go here to shop and also eat. It’s a stop-over destination during lunch and dinner time because people also buy “pasalubongs” or souvenirs. Here, we list the top fruits in the Philippines.

    Posted on by Omachi in Student blog | Comments Off on PALAWAN GETAWAY WITH F2F FRIENDS by Teacher JZ

    Let’s have a short vocabulary lesson! To “wander” means “to move” and “lust” means “a strong desire”. That takes us to our word of the day- wanderlust. “Wanderlust” means “a strong desire to move, to travel, or to explore new places”. Let me share a story that might give you wanderlust.  Not a long time ago, two of my former students Jeeny and Megumi and a coworker/friend Teacher Amber invited me to travel to the beautiful province of Coron, Palawan. I don’t know why, but I willingly said YES without even thinking about it. Just hearing the word “Palawan” could have made me too excited then! Coron is famous for its virgin islands, rock formations, white sand beaches, and a lot more. We had two months to book our 2-day tour, our flight, and our accommodation, and to prepare all the stuff we needed. The four of us counted the …

    English is such a popular language that it is continuously becoming a trend in many countries around the world especially in Asia. This results in the increasing number of people who fly to the Philippines to be taught English by Filipino teachers who are known for their neutral accent, friendly approach, and effective and efficient teaching strategies.    Face to Face opens its door to anybody who is eager to become a fluent English speaker. With that being said, our school recently welcomed Taiwanese students who came here to study English during their summer vacation. Our Taiwanese students consisted of working dads and moms, business professionals, and elementary to university students.    It was a fun-filled month having them around. They were full of energy and joy. The kids and teens were also inquisitive, and you’ll definitely enjoy having a conversation with them.  The diversity of our students can lead …
