Voice from Student

-Micaela from Canada-
Although I have only been studying since October, I have been really impressed by the atmosphere at NILS.

The teachers at NILS are professional and very like-able, and the students are friendly and very serious about their studies. Because the classes move at a steady pace, one is able to learn Japanese very quickly. In only 2 months, I personally feel like my Japanese has improved tremendously, and I am looking forward to seeing the results in the coming year. NILS does a very good job at placing students in their proper skill level, and helping students prepare for important tests such as the JLPT, or the Ryugaku Shiken.
