かなめ

4月から大学進学に向けて語学留学をしています。
コースは一般英語コースです。
宿泊施設は、ホームステイを利用しています。

まず、私が通っているコースは一般英語コースで
グラマー、会話、読解、聞き取りなどバランスよく学んでいきます。
クラスの人数は少人数クラスになっているので、
分からないところがあってもすぐに質問が出来るのと、先生がまめにここまで何か疑問はないかなど
聞いてくれるのでありがたいです。

ホームステイはファミリーはとても親切なのですが、
学校から自宅までが少し遠く、込み具合によっては片道バスで40～50分かかってしまうので
学生レジデンスに移ろうか考えています。
しかし日常会話を自然に習得できてきているのも感じているので悩みどころです。

我從四月份出國留學留學。
課程是一門普通的英語課程。
住宿，寄宿家庭使用。

首先，我所經歷的課程是一門普通的英語課程
我們將平衡地學習語法，對話，閱讀理解，聽力等。
由於課程的數量是小班，
即使有什麼我不知道的，我可以很快提出問題，我的老師應該問一些問題
我很感激聽到它。

寄宿家庭非常親切，
這是一個離家不遠的學校，取決於包含程度，單程車需要四十到五十分鐘
我在想我是否會搬到學生宿舍。
不過，我覺得自己能夠自然地獲得日常會話，所以我陷入了麻煩。
