STUDYING AT ACC (Messages from students)
Ms. PAEK NAM SAN (completed the course / Sister from Korea)
I am very satisfied with the way they teach and truly grateful to
them. They are well aware of each student's weakness and patiently help
him/her develop his/her abilities.
Mr. BRAMBILLASCA FERRUCCIO (completed the course / Father from Italy)
I did not know a word but OHAYOO GOZAIMASU when I came
to Japan. But thanks to the teachers who were very helpful and friendly,
I mastered the language in a surprisingly short time. And also I enjoyed
the atmosphere of the class where various nationalities and all different
ages gathered.
Mr. DAVID GAMBLE(studied at ACC for two and a half years, now lives and works in
San Francisco, California.)
In a word, excellent. Each of the language instructors has years of
experience, and what is more important, they have a true love for
teaching Japanese. Though the curriculum and the workload are extreme,
the speed of your progress will amaze you and everyone around you.
At Asahi Culture Center, you will be given the gift, albeit hard won, of fluency and a key to unlock a whole new world.
Ms. Ng Josephine(in level 6 for 3 months and now studying in Malaysia with the aim of becoming a lawyer)
I feel that I have benefitted greatly from being a student at Asahi
Culture Center. The school provided me with excellent, up-to-date study
materials and the dedicated teachers were always there for me whenever
I needed guidance. I am grateful to the teachers for they have helped
improve my Japanese by leaps and bounds!!
