My journey began when I studied at MONOL school located in Baguio. Because I cannot bear the heat (and am afraid of the cold), I chose Baguio, known as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. One of the reasons I picked MONOL for learning English is because of their English Only Policy. No matter which …
On January 20, 2020, after a long journey, I finally arrived at the legendary English academy named MONOL. I knew of few other schools in Baguio, which I heard from other people. Some, I haven’t visited yet while others are not really to my liking.
I am a sensitive person when it comes to sleeping. When I was in was in a dorm room with roommates, I was often awake most of the night because I could not sleep. After experiencing that, I decided to apply for Monol’s Standard Single room or Room for One.
It is the first time in 16 years that I will not be spending the Spring Festival with my family. I originally planned to go to the Philippines with two other people. However, due to Visa issues, I embarked on my first trip to another country by myself. After some setbacks, I came to study in Monol for most of my vacation.
Most cakes are already sold out during the afternoon so it’s hard to find any during weekday evenings. I ordered chocolate cake and their famous blueberry cheesecake. It costs 325 pesos, which was really cheap price for cake.
From my point of view, if you are planning on studying the English language course for the short term (about 1-4 months) in the Philippines, then I would recommend Monol International Education Institute.
For the students learning English in Baguio, I personally recommend going to the cinema and watching English movies frequently. The reason for this is to be able to practice listening and learn English naturally while enjoying the film.
I think it was a meaningful and worthwhile experience. I had three months to experience many different things, but the most important is that my English skills have improved. I will talk about some tips and how I felt while studying in Monol.
Today, I will introduce the best restaurants I have tried in Baguio. Actually, these places are already famous among Koreans for their Korean food. For starters, let us start with the Korean-favorite, pork belly!
Although the 3+1 dormitory is a little more expensive than the room for three, there are many benefits and activities that are exclusive to 3+1 rooms. With this, I feel satisfied with my experience.
