【35歳、単独渡米。初めて語学留学】留学費用、おいくら万円?
8月頭の2週間、ロサンゼルスに行っていた。
そこに住む友人に会うために。
語学学校に通うために。
実は、アメリカ本土は初めて訪れた。
日本を経つ当日、オンライン英会話をしていたので、復習がてらそのときの話を書こうと思う。
羽田をpm12時出発するその日の朝、オンライン英会話をしていた理由は・・・・もったいないから(笑)
私の利用するオンライン英会話サービスは、1週間90分レッスンと決められていて、その時間を消費しなかったからといって次週に繰り越せないのだ。
日本を出発するギリギリまで英語力を高めよう!、そういう思いも少しあったけれど、私のもったいない精神によってレッスン開始ボタンをポチっと押していた。

以下、講師との話を書き起こしてみた。
講師の話は太文字にしてある。
Today I have to leave Japan.
Do you know where I'm going?
It's Los Angeles.
It's a 10-hour flight.
I leave at 12 noon today and arrive there at 6am.
Morning will come again.
Thinking about that, I couldn't sleep well last night.
I'm leaving home after this class.
I can't be late.
In fact, I went to the same Haneda airport yesterday.
Because I'm leaving my children with my mother.
It's about a three-hour flight and bus ride to my mother's house.
While I'm gone, they're going to meet their grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
My daughter is 7 years old, so she was sad that I was leaving.
When I left my parents' home, she was crying.
She sent me a message from my mother's phone saying, "Come back soon."
But my daughter is looking forward to seeing her beloved relatives.
And my son is just 1 year old, so he didn't seem to understand the situation.
I plan to attend school in Los Angeles.
I will be staying in the school's dormitory, but I can't check in until 4pm.
I will arrive at Los Angeles International Airport at 6am.
It's about an hour's drive from there to the dormitory.
I will have a single room in the dormitory.
There is a shared kitchen, so I will be able to cook my own meals.
The yen is getting weaker and weaker, so I won't be able to eat out every time.
I got some budget estimates from a few agents, and I tried to negotiate the price.
I paid 370,000 yen for school fees and accommodation fees.
I don't think it's too expensive. But the school's response is not good.
They are especially slow to contact me.
Yesterday, I received the password to enter the dormitory and important information.
It was the day before I left Japan. I wrote all of that down in case I need to connect to my cell phone in Los Angeles.
So I couldn't sleep much.
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
