"Very helpful and nice people/teacher but without speaking much English"

Serafin Heier, student from Germany

I felt really taken care of and also have improved my language skill. It was a very open form of teaching. The main Problem was that most of the teacher and stuff couldn't speak English, therefore sometimes the communication was really difficult. I wouldn't recommend this school for beginners courses but for advanced speakers it is a great place!

"Amazing teachers and a welcoming atmosphere"

Felicitas Garau, student from Japan

I've spent 6 weeks at the JSL and I've had an amazing experience! Everything was catered to my exact Japanese skills, the pace was pleasant and I had 3 amazing teachers. I've not stayed in their housing facilities, as I live in Okinawa so I cannot comment on that. Because I went to the school during the pandemic I was also in the special situation to have 1 on 1 classes, which is usually also not the case. I would 10/10 go again and maybe even will!
