It’s a nice language school with a diverse student body and helpful teachers. The classes are adequately challenging, and the teachers only speak in Japanese during class time, which is great for immersing in the language. It’s important to pay attention in class and review after school, in order to not fall behind. My classmates are kind, and overall I feel like I am learning a lot at ISI.

0分0分0分。ISI真的很垃圾。我19年初上了不到10天课，有急事暂停（和担当王老师沟通好，等我忙完事再跟别的班）。疫情等等原因一直没去上课。今年6月去沟通上课，非常搞笑的告知我已经毕业了。学校拿不出我出勤记录、考试记录、退学通知，什么证据都没有。我是有担当王老师微信沟通记录的。特别是新换的那个校长，明摆着欺负外国人的。ISI你骗我20万日元！！！大家都长点心眼吧！你去了后肯定还有别的事等着你。日语学校多的是，多比较一下，别看广告做的好。

Such an incompetent management team and disrespectful faculty too. No one in there worries about anything else but money. The management team is completely unable to resolve any excepcional situation and they won't take any responsability even if that harms their students. That includes bullying inside of their facilities while they doing nothing.

If you really want to have a confortable and safe long-term experience in Japan, i strongly discourage you to choose ISI.

说明会的老师超级缺乏耐心。我理解成天气热导致的，但教室里空调挺冷的。刚开始座位上的同学跟不上步骤，她重复重复的回答，回答烦了吧。我后面低头填写时，没跟上于是问了一个问题。她鼠标指着屏幕上的日语说，“还是一样的页面，都有中文汉字，大家应该都能看得懂。” 才第一天，还没正式上课就有这么不好的体验，希望后面正式课程时不会遇到这种没耐心的素质不好的老师。 还有！分班的班级居然学校网站上和老师手里的资料上的显示的不一样！！这太糙了吧。

I studied in ISI Language College for almost two years. The rhythm was quite intense, but I improved my japanese quickly (I passed the JLPT N2 in december 2023).

The teachers are great, kind and helpful.

I made a lot of friends from different countries, and I had a great time in class!

Also, the school is well located, so there are a lot of places you can go to have fun after school (within walking distance).

Lastly, this was a great experience, and I really enjoyed my time there. I recommend!!

terrible experience, from start to finish!
let's start from the beginning.
I arrived in Tokyo on April 2, 2022 to attend this school, but they immediately turned out to be thieves, who only think about money!
I had to do the quarantine, but they forced me to do it where they told them, in an expensive and meaningless hotel, because no one brought me food, so I was forced to leave the room every day to go to the first floor to buy my food. food.
they forced me for no reason, even after I showed them that the law clearly said that I could do the forty wherever I wanted.
school begins and I immediately understand that the teachers are not real teachers, but incompetent people who have never taught in their lives!
I start from beginner level, the teachers don't even speak a word of English, how do you plan to teach me a difficult language like Japanese if you can't explain yourself so that everyone understands?
completely useless!
the lessons proceed very very quickly, there is no possibility of slowing down, the classes are very large (20/23 students), so they leave you to your own devices, they don't care if you don't learn, the teachers have to get on with the lessons and they give no explanation and no help.
used books are outdated and very old, with dozens of new and innovative books still using old and outdated stuff.
the lessons are monotonous and boring, there is no real teaching, they just read the book, there is no practice, nothing at all.
absurd and senseless school rules, where they force you to do things that go against Japanese laws.
I asked several times if it was possible to have a class with slower lessons, there were many students who complained about the speed of the lessons and didn't understand anything, but the answer was negative... all this makes no sense, every class of 20 people has at least 7/8 people complaining about the lessons and the school does nothing.
like I said, they only care about money, they don't care if students are uncomfortable and don't learn anything.
at the end of the school year with them, I said that I wanted to change schools, but they started to say that it was very difficult, almost impossible, to change visa sponsors, but in reality they didn't want me to leave, because I would take money away from them to them, no longer paying school fees.
I had to threaten them by saying that I had contacted a lawyer, to make them stop talking nonsense and in the end I managed to change school, a very simple procedure, because the school I decided to attend takes care of the transfer, they did everything in just a few days.
so, if you want to change schools, do it immediately, it's not a problem, it's all very simple and quick!
I repeat, terrible experience in this school of inept people, incompetent teachers, obsolete lessons, very old books, meaningless rules, they always ask for money, they are just thieves!!!
