Very Good Experience

July 11, 2025by: Sebastian Bonomo - IrelandProgram: Short-term Japanese Courses & Cultural Activities in Nagoya
10

Was very fun, teachers and staff and like are very competent and timely, and clearly take pride in their work. Thanks to this, classes are efficient and I learned a lot in just two weeks. The cultural experiences offered are also top notch, and I was able to learn about Nagoya and Japan in general thanks to this.
