Amazing Japanese experience
March 20, 2026by: Robert Soliva - SpainProgram: Short-term Japanese Courses & Cultural Activities in Nagoya
Muy recomendable!! La gente del staff es super maja, las actividades que proponen son super entretenidas y te permiten conocer Japón de verdad. Además, en las clases aprendes mucho no solo el japonés “escrito” sino especialmente el hablado. La gente es increible, si tienes dudas, ven aqui!!! 10/10 y si tengo oportunidad volveré

Living in Japan
March 18, 2026by: Carlos Iván García Ramírez - MexicoProgram: Short-term Japanese Courses & Cultural Activities in Kyoto
It was my first time coming to Japan, and also my first time in Asia. I was extremely nervous because I didn’t know how to speak Japanese, aside from saying ‘thank you’ and ‘hello.’ Despite not speaking the language, everyone was always very kind and respectful to me. I met a lot of amazing people, who I now consider my friends. I have enjoyed every single day I’ve been here, and I would love to come back as soon as possible.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I used to work as a university instructor and in that position I read a lot of student essays. Among those essays, I always found the Japanese written by international students to be a little strange. Through proofreading and editing their essay, I personally discovered how deep and beautiful the Japanese language can be. That is what led me to think that I would like to learn more about the particulars of and teach the Japanese language.
