What our students say
"The Japanese 1 course with the CCE was an effective way for me
to learn and grasp the fundamentals of the Japanese language. The
unconventional teaching methods, using both the course prescribed
textbook and online videos where required, enabled me to be able to read
and write the 50 Hiragana characters at a much faster rate than I had
thought initially."
"Our teacher (sensei) was phenomenal. The course covered realistic Japanese phrases.
Thank you."
"Best course by the best sensei ever."
"Strongly recommend this class for anyone who is interested to learn Japanese. Learning Hiragana and to speak in Japanese at the same time makes a world of difference."
