527. Learning Japanese was so much fun! I can't believe after 7 weeks I can already write essays & diaries. What really worked was teaching me the correct sentence structure & grammar rules. Learning and memorizing vocabulary is easy, but "thinking in Japanese " is much more important! (Dave/27/M)

546. The class was very enjoyable. I was able to read and write basic things by the second class and was very surprised at how quickly I was able to pick up the lessons. The direct method was very effective. Kyoko-sensei was very entertaining and a great teacher! (Andrew/24/M)
547. I think it is a lot of fun. I was really nervous at first but the teacher made it seem pressure-less. (Kate/23/F)

556. It seem to be very easy to learn, teacher very nice. (C.K/M)
557. Very good. (X.Z/F)
558. It was perfect. Kyoko-san is very clear and completely animated in her methods. Even when it was hard at first to follow, suddenly I found the information clicking in to place. It was a great experience for me, I found myself focusing harder than I have in a long time. (Naeim Khavari/31/M)
559. Very interesting and enjoying even the class is full immersion. (Perkin/M)
560. Very enjoyable. Thank you. (J.G/M)
561. It was different as this is the first time that I tried a class that is not taught in English, however, I did find it interesting and challenging and whenever I am able to follow I felt like it was big achievement. (Christina Ibarreta/37/F)
562. It's very interesting how kyoko go through the course material. She's very enthusiastic and she makes it very comprehensive for beginners. (F)
563. I like the interactive teaching method here. Full immersion also seems fun. (Z.F/F)
564. After a few minutes I loved it. (F)
565. Informative. Gave a good impression as to what to expect in the lessons. (22/M)

571. I really enjoyed the immersion concept. I hope to study Japanese here. (E.C/27/M)
572. The AITAS method works well for me. What helps the most to internalize the in-class work and synthesize it with what I have picked up elsewhere is the weekly struggle to produce an essay in Japanese. Thank you for the impressive organization, thorough preparation, and energetic commitment that the lessons and extra-curricular activities show. (R.M/F)
573. Level 2 was really fun!! Looking forward to level 3! Overall it was great. (S.T/27/F)
574. It was a really good experience learning with Kyoko, and I had a wonderful time.(F.H/23/F)
575. I very much enjoyed the Level 2 class at AITAS. Kyoko and Masa are such enthusiastic and encouraging instructors. The direct "no English" method of instruction gets students speaking real Japanese right from the first class, and the welcoming atmosphere of the classroom takes away any nervousness a student might have in speaking aloud. Highly recommended. (Nicole Fallon/35/F)
576. Very good. You learn surprisingly well from a lesson taught completely in Japanese. The teaching method is very good. (Alex/23/M)
577. Kyoko was very nice and calms helping us understand this entirely different language through small steps. (Christopher Valdivia/20/M)
578. Great, very clear & adaptable. (V.P/F)
579. Very good instructions at trial lessons. Simple and easy to understand. (Lynval/M)
580. I really enjoyed the trial lesson. I can see how this would be the most effective way to learn Japanese. (Mike Jegenjan/26/M)
581. Very enthusiastic teacher makes it fun. I feel that I'd be able to learn very quickly like this. (Eric/20/M)
582. Wonderful. Lots of fun and much easier than I thought it would be! (Robert/26/M)
583. Very enjoyable and a great learning experience. (Jonathan Libralesso/24/M)

593. Great lesson, laud voice, very clear, great exercise, excellent interaction. (Eric/25/M)
594. This was a very enjoyable class, and I learned a lot. (Tiro/36/M)
595. I enjoyed the workbook exercises in which you had to decipher the drawing and express in Japanese what was happening. (Robin Matsumoto/F)
596. This wasn't my first time taking Japanese classes. However, it was my first time at AITAS. Learning Japanese at AITAS was the most fun I had learning Japanese.

(Amber Chambers/24/F)

599. It's been very enjoyable! Appreciated how the lesson was structured for practical use in daily life. Thank you AITAS! Looking forward to the next level. (Sylvia/F)
600. This level was very enjoyable because we began to learn more complex ways of saying things. Learning the more "everyday" forms of speech for the first time was great, because you hear them so often in Japanese films, etc. I can't wait for Level 4! (Nicole/35/F)

603. The classes are both challenging and interesting. Only using Japanese makes a huge difference since it forces us to not think in English. Pictures on the board really help me understand what is being taught if its not quite clear. (Nick Holden/M)

613. Really like it. I can't wait to take the classes. (Emily/36/M)
614. I can see how Kyoko-san's method will be very effective, even if it's a little overwhelming at first. (Erin/28/M)
615. This is great. I'm a firm believer that full immersion is the only way to learn a language properly and this lesson reaffirmed my belief. Not to mention the easiness of the class: images, hear and repeat, and cards... I love it! (Nicholas/28/M)

620. Very enjoyable intro class. I love the method. (yan Fossat/41/M)
621. It's pretty fun and easy to understand. And in 20 min, I learned a lot of things. (R.Z/24/M)

623. Thorough and professional, the trial lesson made me excited about learning Japanese! (A.G/26/M)
