nick said: this class is awesome, teacher really connects to help you understand where you go wrong and fix the problem, today we watched samurai hasukusu ep 1 (if i recall) great drama, all in all good class good students great teacher, can wait for the next session!! :D posted about 1 month ago
Renee said: The teacher is doing a great job correcting pronunciation right away individually. I'm looking forward to getting more in depth with the grammar and Kanji. Looks like we will be heading in that direction! Overall, the class is well organized and should facilitate the learning of the language. Oh and the fun stuff with the songs and the tv drama make the class more fun!

Adobe Connect seems to be the only hang up for some -connection issues, mic issues for some folks. I think things would go even better without those connection issues because there would be more time for learning and less time for troubleshooting. But that is not a problem with the class. The class is great. :) posted about 1 month ago

Cheong Shao Jie said: Great class!! =D Made me very well-prepared for my Japanese Language classes in school. Made me love Japanese Language even more too. The structure of the lessons is good too, memorizing the Hiragana and learning how to pronounce them, learning sentence structures and vocabulary. To make the classes more enjoyable, there was song, drama and anime, which I also learnt quite a handful of Japanese language grammar and vocabulary. posted 25 days ago
