  Level 2 was a nice change of pace. More complicated subjects were covered faster but at a good pace. It was really fun and made good use of  the foundations learned in level 1. I really enjoyed level 2 because it taught me to put conversational sentences together. I started to feel like I can actually begin communicating in Japanese. Yuko sensei's drawings on the board were great too. (Carlos, Lv 2 - 2019, Oct 8)

  Much more challenging than level 1! This class was taught amazingly. Yuko did a great job explaining new concepts and vocabulary to us. Homework was challenging but exciting. As a person who loves challenge, I always looked forward to returning each week to learn more things. I am very excited for level 3! (Ahmed, Lv 2 - 2019, Oct 8)

  I am indebted to Yuko and the rest of Aitas! Level 3 was far more challenging for me than the previous two lessons but extremely rewarding. Yuko made sure concepts were explained and reviewed well each class. Having access to the bi-weekly language exchange was great practice too. I am excited to continue learning with Aitas! (Scott Berkovich, Lv 3 - 2019, Oct 10)

  
  
• 33.
  

  I love learning at Aitas! Ai-sensei teaches clearly and explains concepts well. She makes the lessons really fun and interactive - the 2 hour class goes by quickly! I really appreciate the casual style of Aitas. Sometimes life is busy and I'm not able to complete the homework but they are understanding and repeat parts of previous weeks' lesson to build upon the current lesson. It's an ideal school that makes learning Japanese fun without the stress of tests and grades. Everyone at Aitas is really nice and helpful. (Paolo, Lv3 - July 20, 2019)

  Level 3 was more difficult but Masa-san structures his class in a very easy to digest way. I loved learning kanji and being able to read short stories. After level 3, I am a lot more confident reading Japanese and am able to understand a few Japanese jokes and laugh with the class. (Alex, Lv3 - June 20, 2019)

• 51.
  It's been an enjoyable 8 week session attending this course facilitated by Yuko san. Not only that I enjoyed every minute of the session I also learned the basics of Japanese. I am now preparing to go visiting Hokkaido in September and am full of confidence. (Sunny, Lv 1 - 2019 Aug 15)

  Very good learning experience! Masa-san makes it really fun and engaging to learn Japanese. I'm really happy to come to class every week. The use of pictures and contextual learning are very effective to learn Japanese. Although it's difficult at first, every week there's improvement and I get used to it! Thank you very much Masa-san and Aitas! (Randy, Lv 1 - 2019 Aug 13)
• 57.

(Carlos, Lv 1, 2019 Aug 13)

  This was one of the best language classes I've ever taken. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and makes everyone feel comfortable. The instructor uses great techniques which allow the students to fully immerse themselves in the language without the need to translate. The classes are fun, interactive and very effective. I would definitely recommend this to others. I look forward to coming back to this school. (Anita, Lv1 - 2019 Aug 13)

  This class was truly amazing in terms of methodology, instruction and atmosphere. As a language teacher and speaker to five languages, I have very high expectations. We talked exclusively in Japanese for the whole two hours. Masa san is an incredible teacher, with a great sense of humor too. When i come back from Japan, I would love to come back for more classes here! (Juna, Lv 1 - 2019, Aug 13)

• 63.
  Very well done. I find myself practicing regularly. Yuko-sensei did an excellent job. I knew half way that I wanted to continue. I value the time and effort put into the material because it went at a reasonable pace. (Parham, Level 1 - Dec 5, 2018)
• 64.
  The class interaction was great. The teaching method was very effective. Combination of pictures, actions and teacher interaction is excellent. I really appreciated Kyoko-sensei's teaching and enthusiasm. (Cameron, Level 1 - Dec 1 ,2018)
• 65.
  Never has waking up on a Saturday morning been so easy. I look forward to my Japanese classes always with excitement because it is so much fun, but of course, also because I'm learning so much. Aitas should be your go-to place to learn Japanese in Toronto; the instructors are awesome, the class size is small and intimate, the teaching style is also extremely effective. I've already learned so much from Level 1, and am looking forward to joining Level 2. Highly recommend Aitas as the most perfect place to learn Japanese. (Wendy Yang, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2018)
• 66.
  Our teacher, Kyoko-san, made this class very enjoyable. Learning any language is hard but learning Japanese with Kyoko-san made it fun and easy. Simple explanations presented with tons of energy and passion. Full immersion is the best way to learn and this is the best class I've ever taken. (Kyle, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2018)
• 67.
  I really enjoyed how involved each student was in each class. Both practicing with the class and with a partner was very useful. Excited for level 2! (Ryan, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2018)
• 68.
  The full immersion plus the lesson structure is enjoyable and challenging. The extra resources (notebook and flashcards) really help with studying. Teacher is very enthusiastic and makes morning lesson enjoyable. The small class size is good as well and forces you to engage. (Winston, Level 1 - Oct 18, 2018)
• 69.
  This was great fun. Yuko-san is wonderful as a teacher. Her enthusiasm and sense of humour is infectious. She was always super prepared and kept track of our names and progress. I am astonished by how much I was able to learn in such a short time. I appreciate the detailed nature of the methods used throughout the course. (Level 1 - Oct 18, 2018)

  The class was very well structured and the amount that was taught each class was a very reasonable amount to carry into the next class. The immersion style works very well for learning quickly. Great and enthusiastic teacher! Group practices are fun too. (Alex, Level 1 - October 13, 2018)
• 72.
  I enjoyed the class a lot especially the full Japanese environment, which allowed us to think in Japanese. Although all the teaching was done in Japanese, I had no problem understanding and participating even without the use of English. Masa-san and Ai-san were very helpful and friendly. They both made the class interesting. (Alex, Level 1 - December 21, 2018)
• 73.

• 75.
  The class is challenging but you still get a real sense of accomplishment and improvement by the end of every class. Ai-san and Masa-san are so much fun and very patient. Can't wait to start the next class. (Chantalle, Level 1 - December 21, 2018)
• 76.
  It is a wonderful experience and I do recommend people to try this class for Japanese learning. Teachers here are friendly and helpful and students get to practice Japanese a lot in every class. (Mercury, Level 1 - Dec 21, 2018)
• 77.
  I had a great experience taking part in the beginner level 1 class. In 8 weeks we were able to learn the entire Hiragana system, were able to ask and answer basic questions and have basic communication. I would recommend this to anyone with interest in learning Japanese. It is a fun and efficient first step! (Patrick Amorim, Level 1 - December 21, 2019)
• 78.
  I think that the best way to learn a language is through immersion. Even though I don't have a lot of time to study, the repetition is very helpful and has developed my comprehension skills a lot. I think that I have a lot of information that I can take home and practice on my own. (Kendall, Level 3 - February 28, 2019)
• 79.
  Again, really enjoyed the teaching style. Really fun and interactive way of learning. Good materials as well. They will be good for practicing basic Japanese conversations at home.(Alex, Level 3 - February 28, 2019)

• 84.
  The class was so fun and supportive! I was nervous to have to speak Japanese in front of everyone but our teacher made it fun and safe. Everyone learned together, even from our mistakes! Thank you! (Erin, Level 1 - March 20, 2019)
• 85.
  I like that everything was taught in movement, gesture or behavior. Teacher is friendly and patient for practicing basic grammar. The textbook is clear and illustrated with interesting graphics. (Willow, Level 1 - March 20, 2019) 
• 86.
  The classes were well planned, well delivered and really fun. Kyoko-san's energy really helped me engage with the content and make the whole process easier and exciting. The full immersion method was intimidating at first but quickly became very simple to understand and follow (as errors were fine). I felt like I learned a lot and I am very excited about the whole experience. Many thanks! (Claudio, Level 1 - March 20, 2019)
• 87.
  Kyoko-san is a wonderful teacher! The course was very well paced and it kept me motivated without overwhelming me with too much to learn at once. I had so much fun learning Japanese! I can't wait to continue my studies! (Dennis, Level 1 - March 20, 2019)
• 88.
  Great class! It was very interactive and Masa-san really made everything very fun to learn! Will definitely recommend to others!(Kathy, Level 1 - Feb 28, 2019)
• 89.
  Each lesson consists of new concepts, review of previous material and practice; these made a well organized course. Instructor tries to accommodate the pace of the students as much as possible. Practical real life examples are being practiced throughout the course. (Philip, Level 1 - Feb 28, 2019)
• 90.
  Awesome classes. Masa has a ton of energy and makes the lessons very engaging. It was intimidating at first but I gradually gained confidence. (Zach, Level 1 - Feb 28, 2019)
• 91.
  Masa-san is a great teacher who moves at a steady pace throughout the classes. With all of the pictures and gestures it is easy to follow and understand despite everything being in Japanese. (Vicky, Level 1 - Feb 28, 2019)
• 92.
  I have never experienced immersion-style language classes before and I was pleasantly surprised by how it went. You can tell a lot of hard work was put into the lesson structure and materials. The energy and interaction kept us focused. Thank you! (Kyle Pangka, Level 1 - March 4, 2019)
• 93.
  I had a great experience learning Japanese at Aitas. The class was fun and engaging. Ai-san was a great teacher and was always enthusiastic. I'm excited to continue learning Japanese with Aitas again son. (Francine, Level 1 - March 4, 2019)
• 94.
  This class was a lot of fun! It was well-paced and I enjoyed the interactive time. I've signed up for level 2 and I am excited to continue learning. (Cindy, Level 1 - March 9, 2019)
• 95.
  I really enjoyed level 1 classes. Ai-san is an amazing instructor who made the learning so fun and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this school to all my friends in Canada. (Melody, Level 1 - March 9, 2019)
• 96.
  I loved the emphasis on speaking and writing supports after. The class is really fun! Full immersion seems scary but you start to make connections and understand what is happening as you go. Ai-sensei is really a great teacher - very kind and answers your questions. I will continue with Level 2 and keep practicing. I have tried learning other languages with no success because it didn't emphasize speaking. The difference at Aitas is full immersion! (Paolo Rivera, Level 1 - March 9, 2019)
• 97.
  Having less than basic proficiency growing up, the level 1 class really helped solidify my elementary knowledge of the language. The engaging immersion setting in the classroom was fun and helped the students practice daily situations. Ai-sensei was always very helpful and clarified my questions. (Neil, Level 1 - March 9, 2019)
• 98.
  Loved the class! Ai-san is a great teacher and you can tell she really loves what she does. I was able to continue expanding on my Japanese vocab and feel more comfortable with the writing systems. Can't wait to start level 3! (Patrick, Level 2- March 8, 2019)
• 99.
  The class is very well organized. It's very interactive and well balanced with instructions and practice. Ai-san is very encouraging and always helps whenever I have difficulty. The use of flash cards in the class and at home is very helpful. (Aleem, Level 2 - March 8, 2019)
• 100.
  I enjoy the immersion atmosphere. Learning to communicate with both my peers and teacher over time is refreshing and satisfying. (Ian, Level 2 - March 8, 2019)
• 101.
  It was as great as level 1 and I feel confident that I will understand some Japanese when I go back. (Madison, Level 2 - March 8, 2019)
• 102.
  I really like Aitas School's immersion approach to learning Japanese. Although challenging at times, I find myself very engaged during class time and because of this, I am learning much faster than I did on my own. The extra curricular activities like the language exchange club are also really fun and great confidence boosters! (Dylan, Level 3 - March 26, 2019)
• 103.
  I like the immersion aspect and the lack of English. (Jon, Level 1 - October 16, 2018)
• 104.
  There was a lot of thought and effort put into each lesson by Kyoko-san, from the lesson length (always perfectly timed) to the amount of group work and solo repetition to the class. Kyoko-san was so much fun. Her enthusiasm made me look forward to class and also made it easy to understand. The flashcards and magnets and marker colours were very helpful as well. (Hilary, Level 1 - October 16, 2018)

  I liked that no other language is allowed in class because it keeps you from constantly translating in your head. It seems like I actually started to "think in Japanese". Thanks to the method using gestures and pictures it was still easy to understand everything. Everyone had a chance to participate and communicate with each other throughout each two hour session, It motivated me to study harder. (Stephanie Lauber, Level 1 - October 16, 2018)

  No English? But it works! Logical structure along with diagrams make it easy to follow along. The instructor is excellent and very enthusiastic The materials are well thought out and the progression is logical. A great foundation for my upcoming trip to Japan! (Harvey Low, Level 1 - October 16, 2018)

  Kyoko was an amazing teacher! The class was always interesting and lively and Kyoko made everything very easy to understand- without using English at all. This is definitely the best way to learn Japanese! (Shilangi, Level 1 - October 16, 2018)

  It is not too fast paced and the homework is not overwhelming. I like that it is very immersive and everybody is on the same level as me. Repetition is also very good in making sure the concepts are engrained into my brain. The visuals also helped quite a bit and I really like how the entire class can be summarized on a single whiteboard. (Kyle Bachan, Level 1 - October 16, 2018)
• 109.
  After completing classes, I feel confident walking into JLPT exam. The textbook we used had a very easy to follow pace. Each lesson gave you the tools to understand the upcoming lessons more easily. Highly recommend Aitas! (Musa Barighzaai, Level 4 - October 11, 2018)

  The instructor did an excellent job at challenging us in Level 2. It definitely got harder but I found Level 2 even more fun than Level 1. He does a great job at encouraging us to have an immersive experience by making us read and write more. (Shiv - Level 2, October 1, 2018)
• 111.
  Level 2 is a bit more difficult than Level 1 but very satisfying to finish! The class is super fun and you learn a lot! Looking forward to Level 3! (Melody - Level 2, October 1, 2018)

• 113.
  Our instructor is a wonderful teacher. I am thankful he answers all our questions during and after class.

(Henrika - Level 1, October 1, 2018)
• 114.
  Thank you so much for helping me during all the classes! Thanks to the great teacher and the immersion I think it helped me a lot even though I was away for two weeks. When I was away the instructor made sure I had the lessons notes and when I came back made sure I understood. I really enjoy the classes! (Jenny - Level 1, October 1, 2018)

• 118.
  The pace of the class is just right, not too fast but not too slow. I like how we review materials from previous class at the beginning as warm up. Teacher was patient and friendly. (Jessy, Level 1 - Sep 29, 2018)
• 119.
  My time in Aitas has provided me with the best Japanese learning experience I've had thus far. My confidence in speaking and listening has improved greatly thanks to the full immersion format and small class sizes. Completing level 4 gave me a great foundation to go on to university to study Japanese as well as to take the JLPT. I have recommended the school to all my friends and family interested in learning Japanese and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything! (Afia, Level 4 - September 28, 2018)
• 120.
  It was a fun course. Very engaging and encouraged a lot of speaking in class, which helped a lot with retaining knowledge after each lesson. The picture were very self-explanatory, which made the no-English aspect easier. Flashcards were also very helpful. (S., Level 1 - Aug 14, 2018)
• 121.
  The class was very enjoyable, and gave me a solid understanding of the basics of Japanese. I really appreciated the low-pressure immersion environment. Everyone was very friendly, and I am looking forward to taking further lessons in the future. Thank you so much! (Mark, Level 1 - Aug 14, 2018)

• 126.
  The class was designed with the intention to allow complete beginners to learn Japanese from the ground up. Each class we got to build upon what we have learned previously and practice extensively with our classmates. I would recommend this class for those who want to seriously learn Japanese. (Cherry - August 16, 2018)
• 127.
  It's been a great experience to start my level 1 Japanese class at Aitas Japanese Immersion School. It's fun and Japanese only to help you memorize Japanese easily. (Monica - Aug 16, 2018)

  It was really fun. Yuko is a great teacher and the schedule & course load is just right. Will continue on Level 2 (Sylvia - Aug 16, 2018)
• 129.
  The class was excellent. Even though no English is used in the classroom everything was easy to understand and it all eventually made sense. I feel like I have learned something that would be useful when visiting Japan. (Devin, Level 1 - August 16, 2018)
• 130.
  Classes are lots of fun. Excellent teacher & best way to learn. I should have signed up for classes many years ago. I have tried other teaching methods, however, this is the best way to learn Japanese language. (Thomas Kitamura, Level 1 - August 16, 2018)
• 131.
  Kyoko-sensei is very approachable and helpful. Immersion isn't as frightening as it sounds and is beneficial for the learning process. The classroom always has a positive attitude and is a fun place to be. (Connor, Level 1- August 16, 2018)
• 132.
  I really enjoyed the classes and the fact it is immersion helps me learning new words and to "think" in Japanese. The relax and fun atmosphere is really nice. I really enjoyed our teacher Masa-san and he made learning easier. (Jennifer Berry, Level 1 - July 23, 2018)
• 133.
  Love the immersion aspect. Even though it is intimidating at first, it is the best way to think only in Japanese while in class. Masa-san is hilarious and so helpful with all of us. The textbooks and iphone app are really useful for studying. I love all the flashcards! (Josee O'Hara, Level 1 - July 23, 2018)
• 134.
  It was a great experience, especially because it is an immersive course. Learning entirely in Japanese greatly accelerated my learning. (Shiv Patel, Level 1 - July 23, 2018)
• 135.
  Loved this course! Masa-san was an amazing teacher; easy to follow, patient and very animated!:) After only 8 classes, I feel comfortable asking questions, learned hiragana (can read & write) and basic conversation. Can't wait to start level 2! (Kate, Level 1 - July 23, 2018)
• 136.
  Masa-san is an amazing teacher! It was a lot of fun learning in an open environment and to be able to speak Japanese the whole time. It was challenging, but well worth it! Having to speak Japanese the whole time also helped with being more confident in speaking up. It was a very enjoyable time in a fun and supportive space. (Melody, Level 1 - July 23, 2018)
• 137.
  The phrases that we have been learning have been very useful in a broad range of topics, and I have been finding that I can say and understand more than I have been expecting to be able to. (Robert, Level 2 - July 21, 2018)
• 138.
  Level 2 was an absolute joy! Although the material was more challenging, Masa-san found unique ways to help make it understandable and simple to grasp. I now feel more confident than ever to visit Japan and utilize my new skills. (Vince Andriano, Level 2 - July 21, 2018)
• 139.
  I learned lot more things than Level 1 class. A lot need to be remembered. The class is fun and educational. More essays in level 2 class, which is good. We can use what we learned to write. I really enjoy it. (Vivian, Level 2 - July 21, 2018)
• 140.
  I enjoy the positive environment and the interaction. I appreciate the smaller class sizes and the focus for those who need more attention. (G. - Level 2, June 21, 2018) 
• 141.
  Fun, rewarding, and challenging class. Masa-san is the best! Looking forward to the next level! (Rachel - Level 2, June 21, 2018)
• 142.
  Level 2 was challenging but it was fun. Lots of time to practice in class, which is great. Masa is a great teacher! (Arun - Level 2, June 21, 2018)
• 143.
  Level 2 was definitely harder than Level 1. You must study to be able to understand and keep up. The class is taught very well and it is easy to understand once you get a grip on Katakana and Level 1 grammar. Thank you Masa for teaching us again! (Mike - Level 2, June 21, 2018)
• 144.
  I enjoyed the class thoroughly. At times I felt a little overwhelmed but Masa did a great job making it all make sense by the end of the class. All the extra resources handed out also helped further explain the lesson. I feel confident moving forward to level 3! (Musa Barighzaai - Level 2, June 21, 2018)
• 145.
  I liked the small class size and review at the beginning of each class. Repetition was very important for me as a beginner with no previous experience in Japanese. Our instructor Masa was always very encouraging and positive. (Dennis, Level 1 - June 15, 2018)
• 146.
  I really enjoyed the class. The homework is relevant to the level and making sure to study is a great way to be prepared for the next class. Try to only use Japanese in class when possible even for simple questions. It can really help you start to think in Japanese! Masa-san is an excellent teacher, always bringing a great energy to class, even though we are usually tired at the end of the week, he really keeps us engaged! I will be coming back for Level 2! (Gordon, Level 1 - 15 June, 2018)
• 147.
  The teaching method is very engaging and interactive. Students are forced to use Japanese all the time, which could be difficult in the beginning but it pays off. Masa-san is very amiable and he encourages a lot. Also, a sizable portion of the class time is used for group practices, which certainly helped. Definitely will recommend! (Level 1- 15 June, 2018)
• 148.
  Try not to overthink in English. The immersion method works very well to get you thinking in basic Japanese, don't fight it. Excellent classroom experience! Trust yourself and your Sensei! Have fun! ( Paul, Level 1 - June 15, 2018)
• 149.
  I found Masa-san to be an incredible teacher. He made learning the Japanese language lots of fun! His techniques make the full immersion very understandable. In the beginning the verbs were challenging but with enough review, it all began to click! I can't recommend Aitas enough. If you are prepared to begin your Japanese studies, come to Aitas!! (Vince Andriano, Level 1 - May 12, 2018)
• 150.
  It is difficult to start a new language but Masa-san helped very in depth on the beginning level in order for me to pick up quickly. The Level 1 courses helps me understand the basic grammatical structure of the Japanese language and also basic conversation. (Kin, Level 1 - May 12, 2018) 
• 151.
  I enjoy learning new vocabularies and grammar in class. The materials including books, flash cards and aitas' app are very good and they help us learn more about vocabularies. The language exchange club is super fun. Japanese friends are so nice and patient. It is a great way to practice what we have learned in class. (Papan, Level 3 - May 12, 2018)
• 152.
  I loved the role playing. It was a struggle to form sentences but it was really useful to take what we had learned and try to use it in a real life context. I also love how visual the lessons are, with lots of pictures and play acting. This class was very interactive. (Gigi, Level 3 - May 12, 2018)
• 153.
  I like the full immersion teaching style because it helps you learn better and retain the information. Also, I like the interaction and lecture style the normal classroom provides. Everyone is helpful and encouraging learning Japanese. (Anthony, Level 1 - April 25, 2018)
• 154.
  Amazing!! Loved the visual aids, and you can tell that the course is well organized. A lot of thought was put into each class. Highly recommend the course for anyone who wants to get a solid foundation in Japanese. (P., Level 1 - April 26, 2018)
• 155.
  I like the way the teacher is teaching using pictures and a lot of practice. All classes are in Japanese so it is better for us to learn and to be involved in the all Japanese environment. We get to practice a lot (speaking, listening, writing and reading). I feel like it is easier for me to remember what I learned when I speak a lot. (Vivian, Level 1 - April 25, 2018)
• 156.
  It was a great introduction to Japanese! Great teacher and a friendly environment. We learned a lot as a class and would recommend this to anyone who is looking to Japanese. I will say that in order to progress you must study in between classes to fully progress. Thank you Masa! (Mike Solon, Level 1 - April 26, 2018)
• 157.
  It is very fun and interactive. Full immersion is the best way to learn. (Justin, Level 1 - April 26, 2018)
• 158.
  Learning with cute images and lots of examples is really great. Flash cards with classmates is always fun and supportive learning environment. Masa-san always makes learning fun and is a fantastic teacher. (Rachel, Entry Level - April 26, 2018)
• 159.
  I enjoyed the warm up at the beginning of the class, it helps you get into the groove. I liked the usage of pictures, it helps you memorize more than just writing out the letters. I also enjoyed the group exercises which allows you to practice speaking Japanese out loud. (Musa, Level 1 - April 27, 2018)
• 160.
  The class is incredibly intuitive and very well structured. I was impressed by how each class built carefully on what we had learned previously. The flashcard app provided was a marvelous and fun way to study on my own time. Kyoko sensei is a delightful and very helpful teacher who makes learning Japanese fun. (Anita, Level 1 - April 5, 2018) 
• 161.
  I like the total immersion. (Sebastien, Level 3 - March 12, 2018)
• 162.
  We learned some grammar and listening. The learning has been useful for understanding and talking in Japanese. (Ali, Level 3 - March 12, 2017)
• 163.
  Great class- fun! Arigatou. (Steve, Level 3 - March 12, 2018)
• 164.
  The classes were really fun as usual. Masa-sensei is able to motivate me to study on my own as he makes the class more fun. (Shu, Level 3 - March 12, 2018)
• 165.
  Many practices, especially in oral Japanese. Very nice teacher! Very patient and in details. (L., Level 1- March 9, 2018)
• 166.
  Aitas Japanese School is a lot of fun. The only Japanese immersion style of teaching is very effective but can also be a little challenging at first. As you learn more it becomes easier but at first a lot of patience is needed. Studying just a little each day combined with patience will get you by Level 1 course. (Kian, Level 1 - March 10, 2018)
• 167.
  I like the visuals when learning and the immersion aspect. If you want to do well and get full experience, I would suggest studying outside the classroom and not speaking English (or native tongue). It is tough but fun and rewarding. (Jessica, Level 1 - March 10, 2018)
• 168.
  This class was a lot of fun. I looked forward to it every week. Kyoko-san made a wonderful teacher that constantly reviewed, that helped me to absorb the class material better. Although it was intimidating at times to be learning everything in Japanese, with more review, practice and patience, I feel that I learned lots. I hope to continue classes here in the future. (Amanda, Level 1 - March 10, 2018)
• 169.
  I loved how much energy our teacher Kyoko-san had. Her passion for teaching really shines through every minute of every class! The class is so much fun and never intimidating. You would think it is hard to learn a language without any English but the way the classes are designed, with tons of body language and cute signs and pictures, we had no trouble at all. In fact, I loved how much effort Kyoko-san and Masa-san put in designing the curriculum! I recommend this school to all my friends looking to learn Japanese!! (Jialynne, Level 1 - March 10, 2018)
• 170.
  The class has an intimate setting, with tons of interaction among the students and teacher. It was very fun and I'd definitely recommend Aitas Language School to anyone out there who would like to learn Japanese! Regardless of your level, there will be a class which fits your needs! Thank you Masa- Sensei and Kyoko-san! (Murina, Level 2 - March 10, 2018)
• 171.
  Enjoyed the class. Very fun and engaging to be able to practice some conversation. (S., Level 2 - March 10, 2018)
• 172.
  Once again had a great time with Aitas. Kyoko and Masa put great effort into making a complex language fun and approachable to learn. I have greatly enjoyed my time with them and grateful for all they have taught me! (T.A., Level 2 - March 10, 2018)
• 173.
  Interesting class where students have engaging conversation. It is a perfect place to practice oral Japanese. (Qixin, Level 2 - March 10,2018)
• 174.
  The class is always fun. I enjoyed learning new grammar and useful conversations. While I think Katakana and Kanji are very challenging, I wish I would have practiced more at home. (Papan, Level 2 - March 10, 2018)
• 175.
  The role playing parts were my favorite, where we were given time to apply everything we'd learned so far. Finding out that I could actually hold down a basic conversation was a great feeling. I'd love to do more reading and Kanji as well but the focus on verbal skills was really nice. (Gigi, Level 2 - March 10, 2018)
• 176.
  Kyoko was a terrific teacher! The class was demanding but very rewarding. I am so pleased at how much Japanese I have learnt from just the Level 1 class! (Natasha, Level 1 - March 7, 2018)
• 177.
  Really interesting and helpful. The study environment is really good and I learn much more knowledge and Japanese culture than I expect. Thank you so much. (Xiaonan Wang, Level 1 - March 6, 2018)
• 178.
  I took this course before my first trip to Japan. The course was terrific. It focused on learning key phrases in an immersion setting. I enjoyed the focus on conversation without having to memorize a bunch of grammar rules. The classes were small with lots of in class practice. Masa was a great treacher! I had a lot of fun! Highly recommend! (Arun Uppal, Level 1 - February 28, 20018)
• 179.
  I really like the immersion method, for me that's the best way to learn a new language. Class was very interactive and interesting. I highly recommend this school. (Loic, Level 1 - February 28, 2018)

• 181.
  Very challenging. Surprised to find that I can read and write Hiragana. Masa-san is a very enthusiastic teacher which made the class more interesting. Looking forward to making better progress in the next level. Thank you!! (David Bernhard, Level 1 - February 28, 2018)
• 182.
  The class was very engaging and enjoyable! Lots of interaction and role playing which made it fun. The pace is quite fast which makes it challenging but every class starts with a review of the previously taught material which greatly helps. Masa-san is full of energy and humor, I find it easy to follow his explanations. Overall a great experience, I am looking forward to the next level. (Natalia, Entry Level - February 25, 2018)
• 183.
  I've learnt a lot from this class! I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Japanese. (Anthony, Level 1 - February 28, 2018)

  I really enjoyed my first 8 weeks and can't wait to continue. I learnt so much and recommend this course for anyone looking to learn Japanese! ( Aleks, Level 1 - February 28, 2018)
• 185.
  The Level 2 class was very interesting and there was a lot more practice. The difference between Level 1 and 2 was that there were consistently more people in the class present which would prompt more participation. Also the majority of the class had spent time in Japan (except 2 of us), which allowed for even more discussion. (Ryan, Level 2 - February, 2018)
• 186.
  Level 2 was a challenging yet amazing experience! You definitely learn a ton of new grammar points and are able to express yourself far greater than Level 1. The introduction of Kanji and Katakana was also great and not as painful experience than previously expected. You rock Masa-san! (Michael Persaud, Level 2 - February 27, 2018)
• 187.
  I really appreciate the continued immersion as it really helps fit the knowledge into your brain. (Mishaal, Level 2 - February 27, 2018)
• 188.
  I really enjoyed the Level 2 class. It was challenging but always interesting. I loved the immersion environment and I really feel more confident speaking Japanese now. I'm looking forward to Level 3 and tackling more Kanji. Masa was an incredible teacher and made the class fun and engaging. (Megan MacKenzie, Level 2 - February 27, 2018)
• 189.
  I have finished the Level 1 and Level 2 class. I really enjoyed learning Japanese and practicing speaking Japanese. I like the course load for each level and now I can communicate for a little bit such as the daily conversation. Masa is a very good teacher. I will come back for Level 3! Thanks. (Andy, Level 2 - February, 2018)
• 190.
  I like the environment of the class. The atmosphere is very relaxed and I can learn easily. Masa-san really did a great job, I can understand very quickly. (Hayley, Level 2 - February 27, 2018)
• 191.
  I loved this class! Masa-san is kind and patient and he strikes a balance between helping us and challenging us. The flash cards are also excellent. I studied each deck between classes, and found the repetition very helpful. The course was fun and I feel like I learned a lot. Thank you! (Sarah Nason, Entry Level - December 19, 2017)
• 192.
  Masa-san is an amazing instructor. Very friendly, high energy and engaging. He makes the lesson fun and interesting. One of the best part is the classes are small and intimate, allowing for opportunity to learn in a comfortable and intimate environment. Highly recommended. (H.W., Level 1 - December 19, 2017)
• 193.
  Masa-san is a wonderful teacher, filling his class with joy and filling our heads with Japanese. The full immersion technique works well. I would take the next course. (M.B., Level 1 - December 19, 2017)
• 194.
  Masa-san was an amazing teacher, who was not only patient but also provided an atmosphere that made it a comfortable place to learn. I would definitely suggest to practice basic hiragana before beginning Level 1. It will make it a lot easier to learn new material. Masa-san thank you for being an amazing teacher and I can't wait for Level 2! (Michael Persaud, Level 1 - December 19, 2017)

  Interactive class where everyone has chances to interact with teachers. Contents are practical and life-related. (Qixin, Entry Level - December 16, 2017) 
• 196.
  Speaking only in Japanese and taking notes in only Japanese made the learning process a lot quicker. It also removed any potential language barrier that would probably happen when teaching in English then trying to translate it directly into Japanese. (Emma Cunningham, Level 1 - February 23, 2018)
• 197.
  Great learning experience. Teachers and classmates are very nice and friendly. I feel motivated by them to do homework and practice my Japanese in class and outside of the class. The materials are also very good. (Papan, Level 1 - December 16, 2017)
• 198.
  I enjoyed my time in Aitas Japanese Level 1. It has been a fun and informative way to help connect the dots and keep me focused on my personal studies. After Level 1 I am able to message with my friends in Japan. I look forward to Level 2. (Tim Adams, Level 1 - December 16, 2017)

• 200.
  I  loved how energetic and enthusiastic the teachers were. The classes were always well paced and we spoke Japanese 100% of the time. Great introduction to Japanese. My only advice for new students would be really learn the Hiragana before class. (Gigi, Level 1 - December 16, 2017)
• 201.
  It was a good learning experience. We learned about verbs, adjectives, Katakana and some Kanji. These will be useful to use. In class, practice was useful also in improving our spoken Japanese. (Ali, Level 2 - Dec 4, 2017)
• 202.
  The workbooks are very comprehensive and classes are fun, while challenging. It definitely keeps the brain going! (Lashaun, Level 2 - Dec 4, 2017)
• 203.
  This is a great class. I like the class learning atmosphere. Masa is very patient and attentive to the students needs. Every student has a chance to participate. And the homework helps! (Lingyin, Level 2 - Dec 4, 2017)
• 204.
  Although it is only survival/beginner Japanese, I really enjoyed learning the grammar structure of the language, as well as finally figuring out how to use particles properly! I've begun to understand spoken and written Japanese outside of class. Although it's only bits and pieces, knowing I only need more vocabulary to really start speaking it, is really rewarding! (A.S., Level 1 - Dec 1, 2017)
• 205.
  It was a fun experience. I love the idea of a small class because you focus more and the teacher can pay more attention to each individual. Plus, smaller classes means less people, which makes it feel less scary. Although immersion classes are scary at times, you really do learn a lot quicker. Also, the teacher Masa is really fun and patient. (Diana Perez, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2017)
• 206.
  The course was very helpful. I feel as though I have learned a lot. There were a lot of pictures, which I found easy to understand. Our instructors were friendly, funny and helpful, which was conducive to our learning experience. I would recommend this course to everyone I know who wishes to get an introduction to Japanese. (Louisa, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2017)
• 207.
  It was an amazing experience learning at Aitas. I enjoyed the class very much. I really like the teaching method and that one has the chance to actually talk in Japanese for the whole two hours. It's a fun experience and the time flies very fast! (Yishu, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2017)
• 208.
  The immersive approach is the most enriching experience for learning a new language, especially for one as difficult as Japanese. The classes are fun and interactive with plenty of opportunities to practice and enforce what is taught. The small class sizes also assist greatly in the opportunity to learn a lot in a short span of time. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to embark on the journey of learning Japanese. (Sylvia, Level 1 - Dec 1, 2017)
• 209.
  Thank you very much! Masa was an excellent teacher, very organized, patient and enthusiastic. He made learning Japanese a lot of fun. I am learning Japanese casually, just to be able to to converse a bit while on holiday (in Japan). Masa taught these basics so I feel confident, with practice, to be able to be polite in Japan and enjoy my trip. I will be back! (Christy Jones, Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)

  Very interactive class with lots of visuals. Masa is a good hands-on teacher and also patient. Practical learning, and easy to follow along from the first lesson. (Teeana, Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)
• 211.
  I enjoyed the class and how immersive it was. The classes proved to be challenging but I learned very much from them. The instructors were nice and helpful. (Adam McFarlan, Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)
• 212.
  The flashcard App we used with the class was super handy! Classes were fun and everyone was wonderful. T'was a swell time! (A.A., Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)
• 213.
  Masa is very kind in and outside the class. What was taught is perfectly matched with what I need to know. Moreover, I was very happy in the class. (Xinzhe, Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)
• 214.
  The classes are great, the pacing works really well, and the focus on grammar is excellent. I wish the classes were longer because I love learning here. (L.Y., Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)
• 215.
  I love the course because everything is taught in Japanese, and the teacher is very interactive with the students. I really enjoy studying here. I highly recommend this school to anyone that wants to try it out. (Linda, Level 1 - Nov 29, 2017)
• 216.
  Level 3 goes beyond what we learned in Levels 1 and Level 2. It is important to learn the foundations such as verbs, adjectives and nouns. Knowing these, you begin to form more complex sentences, resulting in real formal conversation. Learning formal sentence patterns first is important to help expand your knowledge for future Japanese learning. It's also what you would use most often while speaking to Japanese people. It's quite difficult at first, but improvement will happen with practice! Keep speaking Japanese in and outside the class, and that is the best way to improve! (Dani, Level 3 - Nov 30, 2017)
• 217.
  The learning curve from Level 2 to Level 3 is quite steep, especially when learning the various conjugations of the verbs. The notes and rules that Masa teaches in class are very useful and effective in reinforcing the concepts. It is therefore really important to practice with the verb conjugations and the adjectives outside of the class, and to do the assigned homework. (Michael, Level 3 - Nov 30, 2017)
• 218.
  The way kanji is taught is fun, and we get to practice our Japanese in class. Also, verbs and adjective forms are explained in detail, which is really helpful. I would recommend coming here if you want to learn Japanese. (Athena, Level 3 - Nov 30, 2017)
• 219.
  Level 3 was more interesting and challenging than the previous level, but it was also a lot of fun! It feels really good when you can have a whole conversation in Japanese after piecing all the sentences together. My advice for the new students is to practice reading a lot. Speaking practice during the class time is great, but it should be complimented with reading and writing practice at home. Also, practice the kanji taught in class. (Israa, Level 3 - Nov 30, 2017)
• 220.
  Classes with Aitas is always fun! The class environment is welcoming and open so you can practice your vocabulary and ask questions easily! (Adith, Level 4 - July 22, 2017)
• 221.
  Level 4 was a lot more challenging with more complex grammar and vocabularies. However, Masa had a very unique way of making unique learning fun and easy for our group. It has been a pleasure participating in the Level 4 class and I really had a good time. Thank you! (Tracy, Level 4 - July 22, 2017)
• 222.
  I love the class atmosphere and each of us have a chance to practice. There are many opportunities to interact with classmates in Japanese. Masa is always very helpful and teaches in a fun way! Keep it up! (Brenda, Level 4 - July 22, 2017)
• 223.
  I like the fact that the class was taught completely in Japanese. It allows you to make connection to vocabulary much easier since the concepts are taught in a way that you don't need to use English to understand. I also liked how the group classes allow you to practice speaking to other people. I feel like I have a good grasp of the basic sentence structure after Level 1 which I was not expecting. ありがとうございます。(Thank you!) (Sam, Level 1 - June 29, 2017)
• 224.
  The small class sizes are great for helping you practice with others. The vocabulary combined with learning new verbs and grammar, really help to enrich your conversations. My confidence with Japanese has definitely grown. (Danielle, Level 3 - July 22, 2017)
• 225.
  I found that the full immersion was very useful in moving away from thinking in English. Although a bit more different than Level 1 and Level 2, Masa, made sure the topics were all understood and was very thorough with his lessons. I really liked how much energy he brings to each lesson. Keep up with the homework and you will be okay.  Language Exchange (offered by the school), was defintely beneficial in helping to use and become more fluent/eloquent with spoken Japanese. A little difficult but fun. Masa, also helps to remind you to use what you learn in the meetups.  (Jason, Level 3 - July 22, 2017)
• 226.
  I enjoyed working in the JLPT TRY! N5 book. Listening to more Japanese speakers was very helpful. The Language Club (offered by the school) was very helpful as well. Reading Japanese is one thing; listening and conversing is another! I recommend you quiz yourself on vocabulary and kanji everyday. The more quizzes the better! (Alex, Level 3 - July 22, 2017)
• 227.
  I love the way I can learn as it is funny but at the same time it's so challenging. All is great! Thank you for all. (Edgar Rueda, Level 3 - July 22, 2017)
• 228.
  Masa's teaching style is very beginner-friendly, and encourages active participation during class. Over the course of eight lessons, the core concepts are regularly put into use and reinforced upon. The Language Exchange Club is also a very good way to practice the speaking and listening skills. (Michael Lau, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 229.
  Level 1 presented an adequate challenge for someone who didn't know any Japanese prior to attending class. Each class brought new interactions and built upon each other in a smart and easy manner.
  
  
  The engagement aspect of being in class was appropriately utilized and enforced. It is, however, absolutely necessary to practice what is taught in each class, in order to see a significant improvement.
  
  
  Masa is a great teacher, in that, his patience is exemplary. He has no air of being rushed and does show concern and care for his students. (Evan Grinbergs, Level 1 - Sept 20, 2017)
• 230.
  Helpful class with explanations and practice you can't get online, or from textbooks. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to improve their skills. (Robin, Level 1 - Sept 20, 2017)
• 231.
  This class was quite challenging due to the immersion method, but I found it to be quite effective. I'd strongly recommend (in my opinion) that students practice at home for around four hours each week to really learn how to use the vocabulary, the hiragana alphabet and grammatical structures. This was fun and I hope to continue until I become fully conversational in Japanese! (Lashaun, Level 1 - Sept 20, 2017)
• 232.
  I really do feel the full immersion was a great benefit in keeping the right mindset for learning Japanese. I would recommend attending a Language Exchange and consuming Japanese multimedia to build and maintain (one's) progress. Finally, the size of the class was helpful in making each lesson feel more personal. Ultimately, I think Masa's (the teacher) personality ties the material together and helps (keep) me motivated. (Jason, Level 4 - Sept 30, 2017)
• 233.
  Levels 1 to Level 4 has helped me be clear in my mind, and now I can hold a conversation confidently at the Language Exchange Clubs. I have also started to understand anime, TV shows and manga. I have been told by a Japanese speaker that I can now build sentence structures correctly. (Rahul Singh, Level 4 - Sept 30, 2017)
• 234.
  I really enjoyed reading the roleplays, and (reading) out loud in class. It helped with my pronunciation and use of expression, and actions. I practice by speaking with family, and watching Japanese shows on Netflix. I hope to start going to the Japanese Language Exchange Club soon to continuing practicing. (Danielle, Level 4 - Sept 30, 2017) 
• 235.
  I liked the various study materials, constant review and talking in class. My favourite part was chatting (in Japanese) in class. To practice, I visited the Language Exchange (at Aitas), talked to my Japanese friends, watched TV shows and tried reading manga. It is tough, but fun! (Alex, Level 4 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 236.
  This school is amazing as well as having an effective teaching method. I recommend this school if anybody is willing to learn Japanese. Also this school provides a positive school environment as well as social opportunities. (Athena, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 237.
  Had a wonderful time in Level 2! Really enjoyed continuing to learn and putting some more complex phrases together. And learning some Kanji was great too. Thank you! (Jessica, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 238.
  It has been so much fun learning Kanji in this class. The drawings help understand the kanji. It's very clever. It is great to learn in a positive, encouraging and exciting environment! (Dani Bennett, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 239.
  Level 2 was very fun! I liked learning kanji through pictures. Masa, the teacher, makes it very funny and helps to remember them. I enjoy Masa's teaching methods and would recommend them to anyone. (Dyane, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 240.
  I enjoyed having a lot of interaction in class with the other students and getting lots of practice my speaking with real Japanese people. Masa (the teacher) is energetic as always! (Jennifer, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017)
• 241.
  Great continuation from Level 1. Very smooth transition! Equally as fun and engaging lessons, with appropriate homework to practice and improve between classes. Loves the addition of the readings as well! (David Perl, Level 2, Sept 21, 2017)
• 242.
  The class is extremely fun and interesting. There is plenty of practice and I really like how the classes build on the previous lessons. The Kanji "comics" are really cute and help with understanding the origin of it. They make learning the characters fun and not intimidating. (Israa, Level 2 - Sept 21, 2017) 
• 243.
  I love the 8 weeks of training. Very insightful, fun and interactive. Small class to allow you to interact with the rest of the group and learn fast, and apply (it) right away a lot that you have learned. I would recommend this class to any Beginner who wants to progress rapidly. Good job! (Patrick, Level 1 - Sept 18, 2017)
• 244.
  I very much like the immersion learning, as it encourages people to try and speak aloud, instead of staying within their own head-space. We had a fun group that could laugh, while learning. (Jenn, Level 1 - Sept 18, 2017)
• 245.
  The immersion of the class, feels like I learn better in this type of environment. I plan on signing up for Level 2 this January! (Raymond Yan, Level 1 - Sept 18, 2017)
• 246.
  Masa (teacher), you were very engaging and made the class fun, while at the same time teaching us a lot. The (Aitas) workbook was very helpful. Thanks again! (Zach Olesinski, Level 1 - Sept 18, 2017)
• 247.
  Love that the class is all in Japanese. (The) structure allows you to learn a lot! Masa (teacher) is patient and (his) energy is the best! (Jen De Vera, Level 1 - Sept 17, 2017)
• 248.
  The class was great for hearing the repetitive patterns and practicing them with classmates. It helped to keep hearing and saying it over-and-over, to practice sounds, the (school) app was very helpful in reviewing and learning the Hiragana anywhere and practicing evening a little at a time. (Vanessa, Level 1 - Sept 18, 2017)
• 249.
  The first level Japanese class is very fun and easy to follow. Masa (the teacher) is very friendly and always take time to explain to us with many methods. There are a lot of chances to interact with classmates, which is good. In each class, there is also the opportunity to review what we learned in the previous lesson, which helped a lot. (Shu Lee, Level 1 - Sept 18, 2017)
• 250.
  Masa san's teaching style is very easy to understand, as it is very interactive and encourages all students to participate. Also, the lessons build on each other so the concepts from the earlier classes are reinforced, while new concepts can be understood easily by recognizing the change in sentence structures and syntax. Most importantly, Masa san makes it very fun wile learning the language. (Michael Lau/Level 1/July 14, 2017)
• 251.
  Masa is a very fun and patient teacher. Very good use of visual aids and pictures. Good explanation of grammar. (Level 1)
• 252.
  I really enjoyed learning Japanese with Masa-san, he is very entertaining and makes learning a new language easy. I also like the small class sizes. Everyone gets to participate and have fun. (Jennifer/Level 1)
• 253.
  Very good! Dynamic, interactive and fun class. Really good if you're new to the language or have basic knowledge. Lot's of visual aids. (Jorge Garboza/Level 1)
• 254.
  

  I liked the very interactive class structure and the speaking practice. It really was a lot of fun. The flashcards were very helpful in memorizing the Hiragana characters and nouns. The most challenging part for me is writing but the journal homework really helped speed it up. The examples taught are all very practical and easy to use for everyday practice. (Israa Saber/Level 1)

• 255.
  The classes here were all a lot of fun and very engaging. Easy to follow along and understand what the focus of each lesson was. The activities were entertaining and helped get everyone in the class involved. Overall, nothing but good things to say - it was a really great time! Pros! The app is a huge help and a great way to practice outside of class. Great intro to learning Japanese! (David Perl/Level 1)
• 256.
  Had a fantastic time in class. It was very fun, enjoyable and I learned so much! The flashcard app was a fantastic way to practice, great to do on my commute! Journals were also excellent writing practice. A good challenge. (Jessica/Level 1)

  Level 2 was a great challenge! Masa san is a wonderful and patient teacher which makes learning Japanese more fun. Thank you!! (Tanya/Level 2)
• 260.
  
  Excellent place to learn. I just love it. (Edgar Rueda Arenas/Level 2)
  
  
• 261.
  I really enjoyed having a small class size and daily review. My schedule only allows one class per week so knowing that everything will be reviewed takes the pressure off of homework/studying. Also, being able to do extra homework and essays that Masa-san would check was very helpful and allowed me to push my Japanese knowledge. (Alex Rushdy/Level 2)
• 262.
  Classes from level 1 onwards to level 4 have been extremely fun and engaging. I look forward each week to every class. Learning with such a close knit group made this class one to remember and my Japanese went from not knowing a single word to knowing what people are singing in songs. This course is an amazing start to a life learning in Japanese. Thank you Aitas and Masa san for teaching. (Justin Diaz/ Level 4)
• 263.
  
  I'm learning so much each class in such an integrated way. Each exercise and bit of homework always makes me review during the week so I feel ready to understand the next concepts. I have so much fun that I look forward to every class so I build on my vocabulary, phrase building and more! (Teiya Kasahara/Level 4)
• 264.
  Level 4 with Masa sensei is amazing! Learning is always fun and sensei makes it easy to understand! Even though it is getting more challenging it is always rewarding in the end. Sensei's examples in class really helps practice and improve your Japanese. Aitas School is the best! Thank you for everything! (Narjis/Level 4)
• 265.
  
  I like today's class where we got to play a game in Japanese. This was a lot of fun! I also enjoyed free conversation time, to practice what we know. Masa san always prepares such fun lessons, and we end up laughing a lot! This is a great way to learn because I want to try more and come back for more fun. I always enjoy these classes. (Christine/Level 4)
• 266.
  This is the most interesting class I've ever had. Masa san uses activities and conversation to help us learn and practice Japanese. In this class we didn't have much pressure but very effectively improved. (Hillary Che/Level 4)
• 267.
  This was the best experience of my life. I'm trying not cry right now because this class is a big part of my life. It has been my dream since 5 years old to learn Japanese. 20 years later I'm sitting here graduating level 4. I never thought I would be here. My dreams are coming true with the help of Masa sensei and our classmates. I made some amazing friends here and I wish to continue really soon in the future. Masa sensei is truly one of the best teachers. He holds a special place in my heart. I can't even express the gratitude I have for him, this school and my classmates. (Ally Prasad/Level 4)
• 268.
  Course moved at a good pace and nothing felt too overwhelming. I like how everything built on the same vocabulary and building towards writing a journal. Enjoyed the class and working with other learners. (Level 1)
• 269.
  
  Masa san is a great teacher. The class is challenging but fun and even when I was behind, I never felt uncomfortable. I highly recommend studying with the app between classes. There is a lot of information and its easier with practice. (Amy Benham/ Level 1)
• 270.
  Group setting is a nice way to learn from each other. Friendly people with the same goals. I'm finally able to read/write hiragana. Something I never was able to achieve alone. The group setting gave me enough motivation to keep learning Hiragana. Looking forward to the next class. (Gideon Baux/ Level 1)
• 271.
  A wonderful class. The immersion method made it much easier for me to learn. Masa-san you are so funny which makes your students less nervous!! I would certainly recommend this method to anyone who wanted to learn Japanese. Arigatou!! (Alison Katsumi/ Level 1)
• 272.

• 275.
  I liked the progression from learning Hiragana to building basic sentences and then to more complex sentences. I appreciated having to understand everything just in Japanese without having to rely on English. The app (Flashcards)was really helpful to learning the letters and vocabulary.(Lena Rubisova/Level 1)
• 276.
  I found the class comprehensive, especially helpful was the follow up during the next lesson. Starting from the 3rd or 4th lessons, things (words and characters) started making some sense. (Justas Butkus/Level 1)
• 277.
  
   Immersion learning is very helpful, and an environment without English forces you to immediately use what you learn, and make it your own knowledge. I also appreciate how the course doesn't follow strict grammar syllabi, but instead teach daily conversational usages that are extremely helpful and immediate useful in Japanese speaking environment. (Jerry /Level 1)
• 278.
  I liked the picture and drawings by kanji characters. It helps memorize them quickly. (Ralph/ Level 2)

• 284.
  I am very glad that I signed up for this class. Masa san is an excellent teacher, who encourage his students all the time! I looked forward to coming to class every Thursday.

• 300.

• 308.
  It was a very entertaining class! I always had fun. Even when I got a little confused it was still enjoyable and Masa san was so helpful in explaining things.

• 311.
  I've been here since level 1 and it's been amazing. I can't believe how much I've learned over the last 6 months! I am able to read, write, talk and understand at a good fundamental level.

• 318.

  I like the amount of time we have to speak and learn Japanese in class. I also like the interactive way of learning and practicing speaking with other classmates. I hope to learn more Japanese! (Brenda/Level 1)

  Starts off a little intimidating but as the weeks progressed classes became easier to understand and a lot more fun. Learned a lot of Japanese and found this to the best language course I have ever taken. Thank you for teaching in such a fun and interactive manner. (Stephan Barrow/Level 1)

• 322.
  I love that Masa-san makes the classes easy to follow and understand. I had a great time with the rest of the students and plan to continue on to the next levels. If you are a new student don't worry. Relax and just have fun. Aitas has a great learning environment. (Tanya/Level 1)

  The classes are fun and engaging every week! Level 2 was harder but I very much enjoyed it! (Justin Diaz/Level 2)

  Great teaching methodology and the teacher is nice. I also like my classmates. Everyone is nice so I have made lots of friends. (Jing/Level 2)

  Fantastic job done by Masa-san. During the class, he tries to engage everyone and explain the parts that might be difficult. (Aleksandre/Level 3)

• 330.
  Great class as always as the content is interesting and easy to understand. The plan for each class is well organized and we had a lot of opportunity to practice. Masa-san us one of the most passionate instructors. I enjoy learning from him. (Chris/Level 3)
• 331.
  Very well done and prepared. The live practice really builds your confidence! (Jack/Level 3)
• 332.
  Small class with 5-6 people. The communication during class is a really good way to help you understand Japanese. When you practice with people it's easy to remember words. The flashcard app really helps me to memorize Japanese words while I took the TTC. I always use it to practice my Japanese. Masa-san is nice and approachable. (Jing/Level 1)
• 333.
  It's so wonderful to be in a beginner level program where it is completely full immersion. I didn't think I would understand, but I was very surprised by how much I caught on especially during week 5. The visual aids are a tremendous help along with repetition and speaking aloud. I also love the flashcard app. It helps me memorize and feel familiar with the vocabulary. I've had so much fun and want to do more! (Teiya Kasahara/Level 1)
• 334.
  I really enjoy my time learning Japanese here, Masa-san makes the class easy and enjoyable. The mobile app they use is really good to study on your way to work or any other time you have to spare. Even though the class is completely in Japanese it is very easy to follow the instructions of any activity. (Daniel/Level 1)
• 335.
  I love the full immersion aspect of this class! In two months I'm now able to think in Japanese rather than translating! This was a struggle for me because I used to teach myself. I love the small classes as it makes for a controlled and comfortable atmosphere. Masa-san is an amazing teacher. His exaggerated gestures, drawings on the whiteboard and flash cards makes us beginners pick up the material with ease! I will 100% continue forward. Good Job Aitas!(Ally Prasad/Level 1)
• 336.
  Excellent course! Masa-san uses the whiteboard very well to clearly show vocabulary and sentence structure. After just one course I am able to actually write a basic story in Japanese. What a sense of accomplishment! Thanks for everything. (Julie /Level 1)
• 337.
  I really enjoy the feel of learning. It was challenging and fun but not too difficult and what is taught sticks in your mind. I don't feel as if I had any trouble with comprehension. (David Huynh/Level 1)
• 338.
  Overall I really enjoyed the class. I looked forward to coming in each week, while at times it was difficult it was never overwhelming. A great balance. The full immersion and small class size definitely helped. I also learned leaps and bounds faster here then trying to do so alone with online videos and apps. Thank you very much! (Andrew Denmark/Level 1)
• 339.
  I came into this class with ZERO grammar and skills and ended by writing a full page essay in Japanese! I had so much fun and learned so much in first two months. I'll absolutely be signing up for more classes. Masa-san made everything approachable and not intimidation at all. (Sarah White/Level 1)
• 340.
  Great experience! It was very interactive and really engaging. Masa was a greater instructor and would definitely recommended going here and can't wait to learn more Japanese. Overall, I had positive experience. (Kulsoom Ahmad)
• 341.
  This is a very interesting way of teaching and always practicing how to speak. (S.C)
• 342.
  
  Very intuitive - I knew what the phrases were trying to convey even though I never took any Japanese classes before! (Rachel)
  
  
• 343.
  I really enjoyed the full immersion method, it is a lot of fun! I learned a lot. (Tracy)
• 344.
  It was really refreshing to be able to understand and speak a bit of Japanese in such a short period of time. Masa is such a fun teacher. (Kathy de Castro)

  The learning environment at Aitas is really fun and interactive. Over the last couple of weeks I have gotten to know Masa-san and everyone else in the class making every Friday a highlight of my week. (Justin Diaz/Level 1)
• 346.
  

  The lesson was intense but very helpful and interesting. There are ways of taking in information that I am not practiced at but are available and helpful! Thank you! (John)

• 348.
  Very interesting the way class works. I'm sure it's better for adults to learn in this way with full immersion and useful examples. (Fausto)
• 349.
  The idea of studying Japanese in full immersion from scratch was a little daunting but Masa-sans enthusiasm and excellent teaching techniques made the whole experience very enjoyable and dynamic. As a teacher myself, I appreciated how committed he is to his method and to making every student feel involved without even making anyone feel uncomfortable. Despite being a slow learning I really had a great time and I highly recommend the school to anyone interested in learning this very interesting language. (Alex/Level 1)
• 350.
  Masa-sensei delivered and facilitated a comprehensive, engaging and fun 8 week course! His passion shows through each class. I would encourage anyone wanting to learn Japanese to commit their time with Aitas as I feel I have learned a lot now that level 1 has concluded. I would definitely like to return for future classes as the learning environment has been so positive. Thank you! (Ethan/Level 1)
• 351.
  I really liked the full Japanese only environment. It wasn't too hard as I could understand 95% of the class. If we couldn't understand then the teacher would repeat everything. It's a great way to learn. Much more motivating than self-study. Also there is no stress as the content is repeated until we understand. Thank you to our teacher! He was very fun, energetic and very nihon-style! I learned a lot. (Miranda/level 1)
• 352.
  This is an intense course for an absolute beginner like me but Masa-san made it so easy for us to enjoy every minute! Lots of practice opportunities with other students thanks to the small size to the class. The learning experience was so interesting when Masa-san kept us on track using visual aids and body language. I felt motivated all the time ,Thanks Masa-san! にほんがすきです! (Yanru/Level 1)
• 353.
  

  This class is amazingly fun and educational. Even though it is only in Japanese it's very easy to understand and Masa-sensei makes it very fun. The flash cards provided were also awesome! With those I was able to study while on the go which is always helpful. Studying for short periods of time each day is more effective than studying for hours once a week. (Narjis/Level 1)

• 354.
  

  You must pay attention to what is going on but it is easy to do because Masa-san teaches in a very engaging way. It makes you want to learn and pay attention! It is a very relaxed and stress-free environment. You have to make sure to practice at home, even just repeating what you learned in class. I love that there is no pressure and that Masa-san is always smiling and encouraging, it makes you feel better! I'm going to miss this course a lot. Make sure you try your best! (Parishee/Level 1)

• 355.
  The class was great! It helped me break a lot of language barriers. It has been a great experience and I am looking forward to Level 2 and beyond. ありがとうございます！ (Paul Debonis/Level 1)

• 358.
  Interactive teaching. Cartoon and other teaching tools. Friendly teacher. Small class. Fun atmosphere. Text book is very useful. Learned how to read and write. Learned long sentences.　Learned interactive dialogues. (Mandy / Level 1)
• 359.
  The immersive environment helps immensely for people who have difficulty with conventional approaches to learning a new language (e.g. memorization, translation). I thought I was too old to learn and remember anything however I was wrong as Aitas has given me an opportunity to learn Japanese in a way that doesn't allow me to forget. This course is highly recommended. (James / Level 1)
• 360.
  Classes were short and straight to the point. Each week's review refreshed the content I learn from the previous week superbly. This class was amazing, I would love to return and continue my education of the Japanese language. Aitas is a school I definitely would recommend to beginners. I loved every single session. The teacher is great, and is a native speaker. His method of teaching are phenomenal, comedic and all around educational. Friendly, humorous teachers are definitely what our education system needs and Aitas teacher does it flawlessly. I felt comfortable speaking aloud. Keep up the good work! (Eddie / Level 1)
• 361.
  I think full immersion is a fantastic way to learn, and Masa (my instructor) did an amazing job with it. Full immersion is definitely more challenging than a more *traditional* teaching method. I learned so much faster at Aitas than I thought I would. My girlfriend is fluent Japanese, and she was amazed with how much I learned in only 8 weeks, and with how well I understood it. (Alex / Level 1)
• 362.
  I liked the fact everything was in Japanese (written and spoken) even if sometime I had trouble to deal with Hiragana. I also liked how Masa taught us with images, repetition and a full white board at the end of the lesson. (Sophie / Level 1)
• 363.
  I had a lot of fun going to Japanese classes in Aitas Language School. My Japanese language skills improve very fast by the way Masa-san teaches. I even decided to go to Japan for short-term language study, because of the course I took in Aitas. I will definitely come back to more advanced level classes. I want to say thank you to Masa-san for the wonderful classes and all the help he gave on the application for my short-term study in Japan. (Si Yao Zheng / Level 1)
• 364.
  I thought the class was a great introduction to the Japanese language. The complete immersion worked well and was easy to follow. I feel like I learned more in the beginner class than I was expecting. Masa-san was an excellent teacher who was both easy to follow to students. I would definitely recommend Aitas for people interested in learning Japanese. (Matthew / Level 1)
• 365.
  I love the learning environment. I am very shy when I don't understand something, but Masa was a very patient teacher and I felt more comfortable by the end. I personally struggled most with reading but I slowly got more and more used to it. I will continue studying at home and will definitely be returning for Level 2! (Cassandra / Level 1)
• 366.
  I loved this class! I never imagined full immersion would be so fun! I found the instruction methods really helped me learn. The cute flash cards and pictures made class fun and enjoyable while the workbook's excellent clarity and organization really helped me to learn and review at home. Class notes were clearly presented in tables on the board, which combined with color coding made them easy to understand even with no English! Thank you! (Katelyn Eathrne / Level 1)
• 367.
  This class was amazing! Full immersion sounded very challenging at first, but from my initial trial class, it has been an entertaining and knowledgeable experience-all the way to the end!Masa-san teaches extremely well and despite not speaking a word of English during the class he gets his point across effortlessly and effectively. Can't wait to start Level 2. (Shilang / Level 1)

  This course is great if you have the willingness to learn. You get to do a lot of writing, which I did not expect. This helps with the hiragana and allows you to quickly spell out by sounds. Writing an essay at the end of the course definitely makes you feel like you accomplished a lot for an elementary level. (Voinea/ Level 1)
• 370.
  This has been my greatest achievement using full immersion. I have always fantasized about learning Japanese at the wave of a magic wand. (Just like in Disney films of anime) however reality is always difficult. This course and Masa san's teaching technique has made my dream come true. My love for Japanese culture has deepened more than ever. Arigato gozaimasu Masa and Kyoko san for building this monument of wonders called Aitas! (Rence Manzoo/ Level 1)
• 371.
  Really fun classes. A great balance of grammar and conversation. I really liked being able to use a photographed of the previous week's white board for review. Thanks so much, looking forward to taking more lessons with you. (Jonathan)
• 372.
  First and foremost, I'd like to thank Masa- san for another 8 weeks of Japanese -learning experience. Although the difficulty of grammar during level 3 is significantly higher than level 1 and 2, Masa-san did an incredible job teaching us. Masa-san excelled at providing an entertaining class hemisphere, explained and answered questions exceptionally clear and continued to give us positive encouragements. (Zheng/ Level 3)
• 373.
  I love learning Japanese at Aitas. Our teacher Masa is very good! I'm excited to continue learning and improving my Japanese abilities. Even though the journey is long, it is very fun to come to class. (Garry / Level 1)
• 374.
  I love my eight weeks and just now waiting for join the next level. Since you only can speak Japanese forces you to challenge yourself and therefore improving my knowledge faster. I highly recommend the school everyone to learn with a good teacher and a great atmosphere. (Raul / Level 1)
• 375.
  

  I loved having personalized class structure! It really helped me focus on areas I was weak in. At first I thought speaking only in Japanese would be extremely difficult, but it helped me realize how much I've learned! Thank you Masa-san for all your help! You made class fun and helpful! (Amanda/ Level 1)

• 376.

  Masa-san really cares about teaching his students Japanese. He is very positive and enthusiastic, which is helpful for the night class students. Great for working professionals. (Will/ Level 1)

  Learning Japanese at AITAS is very fun and easy. I strongly recommend immersion studies. Fast, fun and Masa-sensei is very friendly. (Erie Hou/ Level1)

• 381.
  

  I really like the learning atmosphere in class. Everyone is anxious in learning this foreign language but in a relating way. Participating in group exercises also helps us learn faster and better. I would definitely recommend AITS to anyone who is interested in learning Japanese. (Level 1)

• 382.
  

  Japanese immersion is easier and funnier than I thought it would be! We learned a lot in 16 hours of class. To future students, practice practice practice! Repeat what you're not sure of and follow the actions to remember. (Teresa trang/ Level 1)

• 383.
  

  The only way to learn Japanese!!! Always energetic and enjoyable. It has enhanced my ability to learn Japanese. If you are interested in the Japanese language and culture, AITAS is the environment to learn in. (Nicholas Givens/ Level1)

• 384.
  

  Friendly positive learning environment. Will be continuing on to next levels. The homework provided fun with learning. (Jessica/ Level1)

• 385.
  

  The entry level course certainly exceeded my expectations! It was quite engaging and definitely the small class environment helps a lot. Not to mention the teacher's direct approach, that even though it may seem intimidating at first, it really pays off in the end. It's a course definitely worth continuing and will for sure recommend to anyone interested learning Japanese! (Federico/ Level 1)

• 386.
  

  I absolutely enjoyed the class atmosphere! Everyone was great and easy to get along with. the full immersion was very beneficial as it gets you to start thinking in Japanese without trying to convert to English. It was a little though to get used to at first but it definitely makes it easier down the road. A fun great way to learn Japanese and make new friends at the same time. Level 2 here we come! (Tyler Moravec/ Level 1)

• 387.
  

  This was a fantastic class. I'd highly recommend the immersion style to anyone interested in Learning Japanese. It was difficult at first but very quickly I started "thinking in Japanese" and being able to understand everything. Masa-san makes every lesson fun and engaging. I was never afraid to speak or participate in class. I look forward to returning for the future lessons. (Alex/ Level 1)

• 388.
  

  At first the thought of taking Japanese immersion seems intimidating, but Masa-sensei makes it very fun to ease any nervousness that anyone might have. Masa-sensei's teaching style is very energetic, engaging, and interactive. I would highly recommend trying Japanese immersion at AITAS. (Marc Mondocdoc/ Level 1)

• 389.
  The lessons were fun and seldom felt like work. The sense of discovery in figuring out how the language worked through the process of immersion was very rewarding. And made my understanding of Japanese feel very organic. (Timothy Chaychuk/Level 1)

• 393.
  

  Masa-sensei is one of the best teachers I've had... ever! Not just in language related courses. He is so enthusiastic, passionate and clear when he is teaching. It makes it very fun but also very easy to follow. I love the complete immersion and I think it truly is the best way to get our heads in the "Nihongo-zone". Really, I have nothing negative to say. I can't wait to continue my studies further! (Sam Pomanti/Level 1)

• 394.
  

  Masa-san has been a great instructor. Full immersion can be overwhelming at times but Masa-san is very encouraging and positive all the time. Looking forward to continuing learning. (Jessica/Level 1)

  Best intro ever! I was nervous about no English allowed, but it turned out to be a blast. I would definitely enroll! 10/10! (Arthur Corral)
• 398.
  I had a lot of fun during this trial lesson. Masa-san was very enthusiastic and patient during the lesson. Masa-san did a great job teaching us the basics through what we already know. (J.I)
• 399.

  The level of understanding for Japanese grammar and sentence structure really increased during level 3. It was a little more difficult but also a lot more rewarding. (Dan/Level 3)

• 404.
  I really enjoyed this class. I was look forward to it every week! I have been living in Japan for 3 years and still lacked a strong basic foundation of Japanese. I personally never found studying Japanese fun until I joined this class! The pace of the course was consistent and it was an exciting challenge to learn with complete Japanese immersion! I made study friends also! Masa sensei is an amazing teacher! As a former ESL teacher, I can see his teaching technique is very effective and engaging! I'm looking forward to start level 2! (Allyson Massiah / Level1) 
• 405.
  
  I liked the style of teaching. It was very interactive and interesting. Definitely recommend the course to those who are looking to learn Japanese. (Joshua/ Level 1)
• 406.
  The class was easy and fun to follow. Masa made sure everyone understood before moving on splitting up into groups helped as well. It gave people a chance to practice and fix each other's mistakes. I really liked the app that Masa gave us to help us with hiragana. Without it, it would have taken me much longer to learn it. (Kevin Silva / Level 1)
• 407.
  I like the teaching method of Masa san during the class. Even though I'm not too good in English. I still can learn from this unique method. I had a great time. (Mandy / Level 1) 
• 408.
  The teaching method of Japanese only during class made it easier to remember as there won't be 'translation' in my head. Teacher Masa is a very experienced teacher, he delivered the materials to us in a very clear way, yet it required some thinking. That helped me memorize too. The class was in a good pace and fun environment. (Gregory / Level 1) 
• 409.
  The class is structured in a very logical way. The teachers enthusiasm helped everyone enjoy learning. Aside from actually being in Japan, this is the best way I could imagine learning Japanese. (Oliver / Level 1) 
• 410.
  One of my favorite courses I have ever taken. I was blown away how much it improves my Japanese in such a short time.

• 411.
  

  I really like the teaching method of this school. The use of hand gestures and pictures are a brilliant and interesting way to learn a new language.

• 412.
  

  There was one class where 2 Japanese International students came for a conversation class. It was fun to practice Japanese with them! To my surprise, at level 2, I was able to hold a small conversation with them which was a task I was unable to do at level 1. (Jerome Christoffer Fernands/Level 2)

• 413.
  

  I liked that we learned a lot of useful grammar rules. I also liked that we learned at a few Kanji as well as the Katana alphabet. I think what I like most about the classes is that Masa-san is a great teacher and always reviews the hard subjects. (Arthur H. Heves/Level 2)

• 414.
  

  Masa sensei is very kind, has high energy, and is fan. Learning Japanese in Japanese was done exceptionally well. I liked the essay and journal assignments. Lots of pictures was effective.

  We learned a number of sentences useful for everyday uses. Very practical. (Sandy )

  The pace of the class is pretty spot on, it doesn't feel too quick or too slow. Learning Kanji is made pretty interesting by the creating illustrations made to help us remember. (Dan /Level 2 )
• 418.
  
  Fun and always stimulating. Lots of great content! Challenging but rewording. (Jesse /Level 2 )
  
  
• 419.
  Obviously the best part of the class is full easement in Japanese. I wouldn't change anything, however it would be nice to have more classes a week. Otherwise its perfect. (Aleksandre / Level 2)
• 420.
  Coming from a non-immersion class, I didn't really know what to expect, but I was really amazed at the classes. I felt like I learned more in my first class than I did during the whole non-immersion class that I took. Really happy with my decision to switch! (Laura /Level 2)
• 421.
  I liked that all classes were in Japanese. I think the full immersion class are really useful and the best way to learn a new language. Also Masa-san is an awesome teacher, he is always happy and I learned a lot with him. (Arthur /Level 1)
• 422.
  I really like the teaching style and the full-immersion. I am definitely making more progress here than at previous school or learning on my own. Masa-sensei is an awesome instructor, and I have really enjoyed my time here. I will definitely be back for more lessons. (Christine /Level 1)
• 423.
  Level 3 has been a little more challenging with new vocabulary and more words. It was hard at first but once it's been explained into fun and engaging example, learning level 3 became a breeze. This time, more Kanji has been added and that is always great! (Chip /Level 3 )
• 424.
  
  I love everything about this course! The immersion experience is so vital to learning, and I love how we as students are encouraged and challenged to maintain that in class. The study materials and lesson plans are perfect and well-paced. The after-class activities (conversation club, events, etc) are also great resource. I would recommend this program to anyone to study Japanese! (Jalisa Henry /Level 3)
• 425.
  Each class is always so great! Learning together makes learning even the harder material so much fun. (Katrina / Level 3)

• 428.
  
  I really enjoyed the language exchange within the class. While it was difficult, it was also a lot of fun and great opportunity. Masa-san always is in a great mood and very encouraging, especially if you are having difficulty grasping what is being taught. He also makes sure to review what has been taught to ensure you understand. (Kaitlin /Level 3)
  
  
• 429.
  

  It's a great class, easy to follow along. I liked the how we used the JLPT N5 book as well as doing more listening materials. The pace of the class is good and easy to follow and understand. (Kenneth /Level 3)

• 431.
  I was intimidated with only being allowed to speak Japanese when I knew nothing, but I decided to take my chances and I don't regret it. It was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of mistakes on my part, but Masa-sensei guided me through very well and I am glad I decided to go Aitas. I hope to come back for level 2! Arigatou Gozaimasu. (Ralph / Level 1)
• 432.
  The class atmosphere is very positive. Masa-san is very patient and enthusiastic. Japanese only helps break you out of your comfort zone, which helps you get familiar with Japanese sentence structures. (Aaron / Level 1)
• 433.
  Thank you for providing a fun and energetic class. It is a challenge working only in Japanese and at my best. I felt as it I was beak in kindergarten. But like a small child I was thrilled with every new level of understanding that I achieved. It feels like solving a series of complex puzzles. (Rachel Hughes /Level 1 )

• 435.
  The classes were so much fun. I learned so many things during the classes and I must say I'm very proud of myself. Masa-san is a passionate, fun and kind teacher and I'm very glad that he was may Japanese teacher. I will of course continue learning Japanese and looking forward to come back in January. (Andrew / Level 1 /Dec 5, 2015)
• 436.
  Masa-san's enthusiasm makes it pleasant to learn. I enjoyed learning in an immersion environment because it makes it easier to understand quickly. It forces you to think in Japanese rather than immediately giving up and seeking help in English. (Chantal /Level 1 )
• 437.
  

  I really like this class. Masa-san uses a lot of visual aids which I find very helpful to understand materials without spending time much in grammar. Hope I can continue studying Japanese in next level. (J.R/Level 1)

• 438.
  

  Masa-san is an amazing teacher. The course was very informative and fun! Full immersion class isn't as scary as I thought it would. (Coleen/Level 1)

• 441.
  

  The best thing about class is Masa san's enthusiasm. It makes even the most difficult of classes fun and exciting. My classmates are great, the teachers are very involved and the exercises we did really helped me embrace the Japanese language. I've studied English, French, Hebrew and German and this class is by far the most fun I've ever had learning a new language. (Jacob Steinfeld/Level 1/Oct 3, 2015)

• 446.
  

  Great class. Full immersion is by far my favorite way of learning a new language from the experience I got from the class. The pace of the classes and increase in difficulty in each felt and was as it should for someone like me, who never spoke any Japanese before. Thanks! (Alex/Level 1)

• 447.
  

  I strongly believe in the effectiveness of immersion. AITAS's method not only makes you experience Japanese with all your senses, but also enriches you learning with regular language exchange clubs where you can find chance to experience what you learnt in class with native Japanese speakers. (Mehmet Guven/ Level 3)

• 448.
  

  Since the entire class was in Japanese, it was a challenge to communicate even to classmates, so a lot of connections are made directly through speaking, writing, and even body language. The good part in that is that it makes you aware of how much you really know. (Martin/ Level2)

• 449.
  

  I am having so much fun! Nothing compares to the experience of immersion-style language learning. (Kate Hudson/ Level 3)

• 462.

• 463.
  

  It was great experience learning made fun. I only stress about it because of my wife being Japanese otherwise it just fun and no stress. (Donald/ Level 1)

• 464.
  

  Just like level 1, learning Japanese wans fun and easy even the dreaded Kanji was not hard to memorize with in the interesting examples and little stories included in the lessons.

• 475.
  Loved writing journals. I felt I learned the quickest this way just because of my learning style. Enjoyed how positive the classroom was, I never felt too bad if I messed up and answer or didn't know it at all. Masa-san is a great coach when you get stuck. (Amanda / Level 1)
• 476.
  
  An incredibly supportive and comfortable environment to learn Japanese. I immediately understood the teaching method at Aitas Japanese Language School. Learning is fun and intuitive. Learning pace was perfect with plenty of time to review and discover new things. (John Woodlock /Level 1)
• 477.
  I was extremely pleased with this course. I was surprised by how easy it is to pick things up even with the full immersion environment. Even times when I was briefly confused, I would quickly understand with the aid of gestures. Masa is an excellent instructor, making the classes both informative and enjoyable. (Victoria / Entry Level)
• 478.
  
  The amount of stuff we learned over just 16 hours is amazing. I looked forward to coming to class every week to learn. I cannot wait for the next level! (Philip /Level 1)

• 480.
  Aitas Japanese Level 1 is very fun and not intimidating at all. As a new student learning a new language for the first time I was very nervous but Masa makes the class very fun and easy to follow. We laugh a lot and class is not stressful. I look forward to class every week, and would encourage anyone considering registering at Aitas to go for it! (Douglas / Level 1)
• 481.
  

  Masa san was an incredible teacher. I only speak English so I was concerned about learning another language. I was amazed at how Masa san took us through a calculated stepwise approach to learning Hiragana and speaking Japanese all while making it fun! I am so pleased I chose immersion as I can truly speak and write Japanese after simply the entry level class. I am off to Tokyo in January and I can't wait to build on what Masa san has taught us. I had a blast. Anybody can do it. Awesome! I absolutely recommend Aitas Japanese School. (Shawna Bailey/Level 1)

• 482.
  I liked the way of teaching in class. My skill of speaking Japanese improved a lot in this way and I really started thinking in Japanese. What to say to new student is please practice and memorize Hiragana form as much as possible. It would help you study and bring more efficiency during the class. (Yanzi Xin/Level 1)
• 483.
  

  I really liked the whole class. The listening assignments are also very practical as they translate well to real life exercises. The pacing and patience with the program are set perfect to my learning needs! Loved learning small samples of Kanji and the weekly homework assignments helped keep the content fresh in my mind. (Nat Racz/Level 2)

• 484.
  

  I love the small class size, and how connected I feel with all the students in my class. Masa-san is wonderful and animated as a teacher, and makes everything so enjoyable to learn. The classes are well-balanced in getting you to practice writing and speaking, and I loved how interactive it was. (Sabrina/Level 1)

• 485.
  

  It's surprisingly thrilling to dive in to another language via immersion learning. I'm amazed by what I've learned and I feel like I might even be able to come up with real Japanese sentences on the fly. (Sam/Level 1)

• 486.
  

  This class was really fun. I could not believe how much and how fast I learned Hiragana. Every class is always exciting never boring. I like the challenges that was given for bonus homework. I'm looking forward to starting level 2 with Katakana. (Chip/Level 1)

• 487.

• 490.
  
  I like the class environment, everyone is friendly and very supportive and encouraging making this a "no fear" zone to learn Japanese. I also really enjoyed that "tomodachi" form, since that will help me when I watch Japanese shows. Would love to continue when the lessons work with my schedule in the New Year. (Katherine / Level 3)
• 491.
  

  Before taking Japanese at Aitas, I had tried to self-study with books and online, but there are many things that you can only pick up in conversation and through immersion in an all Japanese environment. Especially grammar, expressions and conjugating, the pictures and the way Masa-Sensei arranges the notes on the board is super useful! I think even in 8 weeks, I am much further than just studying by myself! Thanks, Masa-Sensei! (Lin/Level 1)

• 492.
  Learning Japanese at Aitas is fun. I was nervous about it at first, but Masa-san is very patient, and the immersion-type setting forces you to learn quickly. It's amazing what I've learned even over a few weeks! I definitely recommend Aitas. (Mare / Level 3)
• 493.
  
  I like the small class setting that allows me to have lots of practice during class. The idea of Japanese only class was a little tough at first but over time it got easier. (Danny / Level 1)
• 494.
  Entering to a full immersion class for the first time was intimidating, and it took some time before I could really understand what was going on or what was being said. But now, I feel more confident in my Japanese language abilities than ever before, especially in regards to speaking ability, and listening skills. (Sean / Level 2)
• 495.

• 505.
  I like the class was interactive (pair work, demos, etc.) and the teacher was patient with the students. (Freda / Level 1) 
• 506.
  Great classes, always fun! Masa-san teaches very well and quickly understands any difficulties we may be experiencing.

• 507.
  I really enjoy an interactive conversation in Japanese with Masa-san and the others. Overall it was a fun experience to learn Japanese! (M. X./ Level 4)
• 508.
  

  There is always something new and exciting in each lesson, and builds upon what we learned in previous lessons. The in class conversations in full Japanese has allowed me to be comfortable reading and speaking Japanese. The visual learning aspect of the class is also very beneficial, and easy to understand. (J.L/Level 1)

• 509.
  

  The class was great. Full immersion is definitely the best way to learn Japanese. I really liked the way masa-sensei was so easy to understand even though no English was spoken. The drawings and body language really help as well as his enthusiasm and polite friendly attitude. (Jon-Paul/Level 1)

• 510.
  

  The class was easy to follow overall. Though there was no English used it was clear. It'll be more helpful if reading materials are suggested. (Larry/Level 1)

• 511.
  I like the funny cartoons and flash cards that accommodate the lessons. The most challenging aspect were the small group peer-to-peer interactions, which were actually quite fun. I felt that I had learnt a lot by attending classes without having to prepare in advance. (U/Level 1)
• 512.
  Level 1 was an interesting introduction to hiragana and speaking Japanese. Masa-san was always helpful and encouraging. He made the "Direct Method" (no English) interesting and engaging. While it was difficult at times, the pace and structure of class was useful to learning the language. I will be back for level 2. Thank you! (Jason/Level 1)
• 513.
  

  Level 1 learning was fun. Best part is you don't have to put a lot of time into the studying. (Pauline/Level 1) 

• 514.
  

  Classes are fun and encouraging. I did not feel intimidated to learn Japanese. Should focus on memorizing as much hiragana as possible before and after classes to make lessons even easier. (Jeff Lau/Level 1) 

• 515.
  I enjoyed the class very much and found it took very little time outside of class to stay on track. I found it very helpful to take a picture of the board at the end of each class and found it helpful when writing the journals each week. Keep coming to class, review what you did each class and have fun! I certainly did! (Amanda/F/Level 1)
• 516.
  The class was very fun and relaxed. It was a very comfortable way to learn. (Kyle Holmes/M/Level 1)
• 517.
  I thought the highlight of my week! It was much easier and much more fun than I expected, even after reading all the wonderful things previous students had said. Masa-sensei was amazing and had the whole class smiling every Tuesday. I thought my messy writing would make it difficult but Msa-sensei could read it quite easily. I'm signing up for Level 2 today! Thanks. (Anthony/M/Level1) 
• 518.
  Before the course started, I thought the full immersion teaching style would be very challenging since I never studied Japanese. However, due to Masa-san's enormous efforts, the class is always been very pleasant and enjoyable. Two hours passes really quickly! I loved in-class practices a lot too. As time goes by, I'm not afraid to try speaking Japanese gradually. In addition, I love how when my schedule clashed with Japanese lesson, Masa-san Is nice enough to re-arrange and provide make-up lessons. All in all, it's been a great experience for Japanese beginners like me, Thank you very much (Zheng Zeng/F/Level 1)
• 519.
  The class as so much fun! I recommend this class to those who truly enjoy Japanese. Masa-san was very helpful and he made this class so much fun to learn! At fist, this course might seem scary but before you know it you're reading Hiragana like a pro. The materials is easy to follow and understand. By the way, the is not English used in any of the classes (only Japanese) which helps with learning Japanese. I will be taking more classes at Aitas. (Hilda Namin/F/Level 1)
• 520.
  The class was very enjoyable! You may not grasp everything at the start, but you will be surprised to how much you learn after the course is finished. My Japanese friends can't believe how much I've learned in the first level. Enjoy!! (Nicholas/M/Level 1)
• 521.
  I really enjoyed and learned a lot during this class. Using the flashcards really helped in learning Hiragana. It was hard to memorize the fist few, but then it get easier once you get over the shock of looking at another language. Masa-san is amazing! He was always there to help and explained using difference methods. It was difficult at fist and I always went home with a headache the fist few lessons. But then it got easier ever when learning new materials. It's great when you have the flash bulb moment and it's through your own efforts and understanding! When I had to write the essay, I was comfortable writing a whole page of Hiragana. (Aminah Newwab/F/Level 1)
• 522.
  The teaching is great and easy to understand. As long as you are enjoying learning it will be easy. Masa-san made the class fun with lots of visual presentation. (Joshua/M/Level 1)
• 523.
  The class was a great experience in learning - language using immersion -style teaching methods. While it's not the easiest way to study a foreign language, It's definitely the best way to memorize particles and the building blocks of speech. English texts are useful, but I find that they made you speak in Japanese and think in English. The fill immersion method used at Aitas forces you to speak and think in Japanese, and enables a more full grasp of the the language. The course is what you make of it, so give 100% ! Good luck :) (Joe/M/Level 1)
• 524.
  Although no English can be spoken in class, Masa-san makes it easy to understand from day 1. It was fun to participate each and every class and the small amount of homework reinforces the stuff leaned in class. Learning Hiragana was not easy but each class we practise reading them. Flash cards and ipad really helped. Highly recommend if you are trying to learn Japanese.(Lara/F/Level 1)
  
• 525.
  I found the course progressed in a very well organized manners. Also we had plenty of chance to practice. The fact that the course is full immersion and no Romaji are real plus - giving us more chance to listen without translation. (Brian Pang/M/Level 1)

  I was worried about not being able to speak Englsih during class, but I got used to it quickly and actually it was very fun. I liked small class size. (Kay/F/Level 1) 
• 527.
  The pace of the class was great and I learnt a lot. Masa was a great teacher and made the classes very enjoyable. I had studied Japanese before many years ago, but the style at Aitas made it much more fun. The in-class exercises and writing assignment were very helpful. I look forward to taking more classes at Aitas. (Kyle Ferguson/M/Level 2) 
• 528.
  I really enjoyed the immersion style Japanese Class. At first  I was worried I would not be able to follow along without any English but it is surprising how much you absorb just in Japanese alone. I found that most lessons continued to stay with me well after class and I was able to recall information more easily than other non-immersion classes I have taken. I'm definitely more confident with the basics of Japanese now and I look forward to building on these lessons in the next class. Masa-san is an excellent teacher! Thank you! (Nisha/F/Level 2)
• 529.
  Level 2 was challenging, but very fun! In the beginning, you may feel a little overwhelmed, but everything falls in to place after a couple classes. I hope you experience your eureka moment! (Nicholas/M/Level 2)

• 534.
  Aitas doesn't only provide a good Japanese course, but it also gives us an opportunity to learn about Japanese culture (i.e. Cultural class). Not only that, but the teachers also put together a really interesting Japanese well, and to learn more more about Japan. (G.Y/21/F)

  This level, I think I learned more practical grammar for every day use. This level was by far my most favorite level so far. Also, it was my most difficult one. I love to be challenged though. I can structure so many different types of sentences now. (Helder Martins/M/Level 4)
• 542.

• 548.
  Learning Japanese in AITAS is FUN. The teacher, Kyoko-san uses many creative way such as drama, pictures to help us understand Japanese. English is prohibited in class but that actually force us to present ourselves in fundamental ways just like children picking up how to speak. I found this very effective. (Ziphion/M/25)
• 549.

  I am headed off to Japan soon, and this class has made me feel a lot more confident in a very short period of time. At 30 years old, coming back to school is a bid scary. But even after 2 levels, I always look forward to class. (Brendyn/M/30

  I love coming to class every week! Kyoko and Masa are so animated they make learning easy. AITAS definitely teaches Japanese for better than regular school taught French! It is also fun to learn tidbits about Japanese culture. My only regret is that I can't come to school every day! (Natalie/F/30)

  I find the Japanese lessons to be very enjoyable. I am always surprised by just how much I learn from week to week. When I began, I found it hard to think of the words in hiragana, and now I find I am writing things in hiragana without having to think about it. (Karen/F)
