"I'm glad that I chose the right place to study Japanese."

Lam Dinh Bao Chau

What impressed me the most were the teachers. Every one of them was so enthusiastic, and cared so much for the students,. They helped us not only about the classes and lessons, but also for anytime we needed them. Kobe is a beautiful and convenient city that I didn't have any difficulty settling down.

"A rare find"

amornmahaphun sucheera

I love the way the teacher taught. I also loved the helpful staff who tried to find us a job. The weak point though of the school is that it has to create extra activities in class, e.g. conversation.
