I'm looking into working in Kagawa, and I noticed an eikaiwa called Lingo House in Takamatsu. Does anyone know anything about them?

You couldn't pick a worse school of you tried. Good luck finding anything with the search feature here.
PM me if you wish or any other regular on the Japan forum.

Lingo advertises on Dave's hence no negative postings about them are allowed.

My previous offer still stands. I have seen both their schools and know former teachers there.

Suffice is to say, the last person who asked about that school is now in Guantanamo Bay. Wink
Seriously, take Gordon up on his offer.

I've heard nothing but bad things too (from the learned members of the board above).

Takamatsu is a nice city though.

Lingo probably has the worst reputation of any eikaiwa in Japan.

Smith: In case you haven't pieced it together yet, the "countdown" started by David & diva refer to how much longer this thread is going to last before it gets yanked by the mods.

I also recommend following the suggestions outlined here already.
