Fumitoshi (Toshi) has been at Lexis Byron Bay for 6 weeks. He is one of the happiest, most positive people I’ve ever met and it has been an absolute delight having him at the school. Today he flies to Perth, ready to start at Lexis | Perth on Monday. I caught up with him before his flight to ask him some quick questions.

Why did you choose to study Byron Bay?

First I was just going to go to Noosa and Perth, but then I heard that Byron Bay was really beautiful so I decided to spend some time here too. I’m happy I did.

What was the best thing about studying English in Byron Bay?

The beaches, the teachers and the fact that everyone is so close; both classmates and teachers. It’s like a family here.

Has your English improved much since you arrived?

I hope so. Yes, I think so. (His teacher says it has a lot; especially his speaking.)

What helped your English the most?

The English Only Policy. It was perfect. And my lovely teacher, Kathleen. She is the best teacher I’ve ever seen!

And finally, what would you say to anyone who was thinking about studying English at Lexis Byron Bay?

You must come here!

And we’d love more students like you, Toshi. I hope you have a really great time in Perth. We’ll miss you.
