Hello, my name is Muftazar and I am from Indonesia. I have been in Japan for about 8 months. I just passed the JLPT N3 and I felt I did well. I really feel I progressed since I started, especially on conversational skills. Teachers always prepare theme’s discussion, and they guide us while discussing. There are so many discussion, essay and “Kanji” test that make us progress.

Hi, my name is Aya and I am from Vietnam. When I came to Japan in October 2017, I couldn’t understand Japanese so much but because of the teachers, I think my Japanese progressed very fast. During the last 8 months, I could go with my classmates and school teachers to numerous event and experienced the Japanese culture. It is really a lot of fun!
