Regular Group Courses

• 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 really enjoyed level 2. I found the class incredibly engaging and enjoyable. It was challenging but I was able to follow along as everything was laid out in a clear manner. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed. I have learned so much already and it is very exciting. I plan to continue on with lessons. (Melissa, Lv 2 - 2019, Oct 8)

  
  

• I loved it! Fun and engaging, and goes at the right speed. I learned so much and Yuko is a great and patient teacher. (Kurt, Lv 2 - 2019, Oct 8)

  
  

• Amazing. I can't believe the progress we made in such a short time. Teacher used many different learning  techniques and it really helped to bring together the different lessons. (Kevin, Lv 1 - 2019, Oct 10)

  
  

Kanji Class

• I was really impressed with how much I have learned in this course. I'm only on level 2, but already I feel like I can have real meaningful conversations with people in Japanese. I think the pacing of the lesson is great! (Alex / Level 2) 
• I really enjoyed the interactive nature of the class. It was joyful to learn because of the comradery between teacher and fellow students. Although at time consuming, the moment of "understanding" always was a pleasant surprise. Being able to actually follow Japanese conversation is an amazing feeling. (Sheri / Level 2) 
• Having the opportunity to be fully immersed in Japanese is fantastic! Masa-san is a great teacher. I really appreciate having studied with him. I would recommend this class for anyone looking to further their study of Japanese and have a great immersive experience! ありがとうございます。(スティーヴ/ Level 4) 
• Level 2 class is more challenging than level 1, but it is still very fun! The immersion environment is fantastic and provides many opportunities for learning and practice. (Andrea / Level 2) 
• I do love my first immersion in Kanji. It was really easy to follow and memorize the Kanji symbols with the picture method, really easy way to learn. If you join the course I'm really sure you will not regret. I love it!!! (Raul) 

JLPT Preparation Class
(Japanese Language Proficiency Test)

• The JLPT class was an intense class in an enjoyable environment.  I found that the prep class was not only good for those who are intending to take the exam but also a good refresher for my previous classes.  We had mocks exams which tested our vocabulary, grammar and kanji.  I especially liked the listening practice which I find quite challenging.  If you are contemplating on taking the JLPT, I would recommend taking the Aitas JLPT prep class.  You'll find homework and exams are actually fun. (Christina, JLPT Prep N5)
• The pace of the class is very high, and you get to practice in real exam conditions, so that there is no surprise on the day of the exam. Also, I found it was an excellent way to review previous levels' grammar and vocabulary. After completing the class, I felt much more confidant I could make it. I'm really glad I opted for taking this class prior to the N5 exam, as I'm sure it helped greatly in achieving a pass grade. I definitely recommend this class to anyone serious about taking the JLPT exam. (Frederic, JLPT Prep N5)
• It was very well structured and taught in a friendly and yet very professional manner. The Class helped me reduce the level of stress because i knew what to expect. Thanks to the tests that we took during the class, i could see where i was standing and thus my expectations were realistic - more or less. (Danielle, JLPT Prep N5)
• The most helpful aspect of the class, for me, was that we practiced with actual past tests every week. It was very encouraging to see my marks on the practice tests slowly, but steadily, improve as the course progressed. The other extremely valuable component was the listening practice we did. For me, listening comprehension is the most challenging aspect of Japanese, so the confidence I gained by practicing with so many listening exams in class was invaluable. (Nicole, JLPT Prep N5)
• The JLPT prep class was extremely helpful, chances are that i would of failed the test if i didn't take the prep course. Being able to practice previous exams and revisit grammars that i have either forgotten or haven't learned in the class helped filled a lot of the gaps. studying with classmates help too, i actually studied with some of them outside of the course (Alan, JLPT Prep N4).
