Hello and Bula! I’m Alena Sorokiwaqa (Lena), an ESL teacher at Free Bird Institute for 8 years. Learning English in Fiji is a truly unique experience. Our students enjoy interactive classes with role plays, games, and discussions, while also practicing English every day in real-life situations. Surrounded by Fiji’s warm culture and stunning environment, they not only improve quickly but also build international friendships and unforgettable memories.
Bula!(フィジー語での挨拶)私はアレナです。レナと呼んでください。フリーバードで8年間教員を務めています。 フィジーで英語を学ぶことは貴重な経験になるはずです。私たちの生徒はロールプレイやゲーム、ディスカッションなどの参加型授業を楽しんでいます。また、日常生活でも英語を使う機会がたくさんあります。フィジーの温かい文化に触れたりや雄大な自然の中で過ごすことで、英語が上達するばかりか、国境を越えた友情や一生の思い出もできることでしょう。
Living and learning far from home is not always easy, but I want you to know that this dorm is not just a place to sleep—it’s your second home. Here, we grow together, support each other, and respect one another like family.My door is always open if you need help, advice, or even just someone to listen. Remember, you are never alone in this journey. Stay focused on your studies, take care of yourselves, and don’t forget to enjoy the little moments along the way.
異国の地での生活は大変に思うこともあるかもしれません。でも、この寮を第二の家のように思ってもらえたら嬉しいです。ここではみんなが家族のようにお互いを支え合って生活しています。困ったときに限らず、ただ話を聞いてほしいだけでも、いつでも気軽に声をかけてください。この寮ではあなたは決して一人ではありません。一生懸命勉強し、健康を大切にし、そして小さなことでも楽しむ心を忘れずに。
My time at Freebird has taught me patience, calmness, understanding, and the importance of embracing different cultures with an open and loving heart. My best advice for learning English is “Don’t rush”. Progress may seem slow at times, but remember, “Rome was not built in a day.” Patience and persistence will lead to success. Appreciate every step of your journey and celebrate every achievement along the way.
フリーバードでの経験は、忍耐力、冷静さ、理解力、そして大きな心で異なる文化を受け入れることの大切さを教えてくれました。英語学習における私の最大のアドバイスは「急がないこと」です。成長は時に遅く感じられるかもしれませんが、「ローマは一日にして成らず」ということを忘れないでください。忍耐と継続が成功へと導きます。あらゆる一歩を大切にし、その過程での小さな達成を祝福しましょう。
Language learning can be challenging and takes time so it is important to stay positive. Always be patient, keep a positive attitude and you will definitely improve!
言語学習は困難を伴い、時間もかかるため、ポジティブでいることが大切です。常に忍耐強く、前向きな気持ちでいれば、必ず上達します!

Hi, I'm Lindarae Mate. My love for working with ESL students for the last 7 years here at Freebird isn't just about teaching English. It's about building bridges and fostering confidence in every student. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping ESL students build their skills and encouraging them to come out of the shells and thrive in confidence.
こんにちは、リンダレイ・メイトです。フリーバードで通算7年間働いていますが、ESL(英語を第二言語とする)の生徒たちと接するのが大好きなのは、単に英語の上達をサポートできるからではありません。生徒一人ひとりが自信を持てるようになる、架け橋を築くことができるからなのです。私の仕事で最もやりがいを感じる部分の一つは、ESLの生徒たちがスキルを身につけ、殻から抜け出し、自信を持って成長するよう励ますことができる点です。

At Free Bird, we combine language with culture, inspiration, and meaning. We welcome students warmly, sharing our traditions and values, and showing them how to embrace life in its fullest form.
