Japanese 101 was an amazing class, very interactive and fun to learn. I'm excited to start 102 and continue my language education journey!
Paolo Zoioglou
Our teacher was very fun and so patient - making sure we understood the reasons behind the language and culture as well as the language itself. The energy and enthusiasm from the tutor made it feel like it was very enjoyable to go to class and learn, and this kept us very involved in our learning.
