| "I have been working at a company in Japan so my Japanese has to be good. I started taking private lessons at the school, and I am now a valued staff member at my company. The atmosphere here is really good. My teacher always takes the time to explain things well, and I always enjoy my lessons. I can feel that my Japanese is improving a lot." |

| "Every day at this school is enjoyable. My favorite subject is the Japanese conversation class where I share my experiences of life in Japan with my classmates.. My classmates are an eclectic group of students from many nations yet our desire to learn, and most of all to have fun while learning, is similar." |
ZhouMei Chen

|
| "The classes here are small so teachers are able to explain things until everyone understands. We not only learn grammar and new vocabulary, we also learn about Japanese culture. I enjoy studying this way. I will never forget the Cherry Blossom viewing party, wearing Kimono, throwing beans at Kanda Shrine, and Sumo. Thank you for these unforgettable memories." |
Charul Popli
India |
|
| "I am enjoying studying at this school. The teachers are really experienced and make sure the lessons are useful as well as fun. From activities like Cherry Blossom viewing and Sumo, I have learned about Japanese culture. We do not have Cherry Blossoms and Sumo in India so I was happy to have such a unique experience here. I was also very happy to meet Grand Champion Akebono! Thank you teachers and staff." |
