Comments from Children Participating in the Nihongo Hiroba
★ 1st Grade of Elementary School (From Parent)
My children always looked forward to the weekly Japanese lessons. Studying with the teacher was very relaxed, and their Japanese gradually improved. They really love this kind of class.
Teacher, thank you so much for everything you do.
★ 4th Grade of Elementary School
The teachers at the Nihongo Hiroba are very kind.
Also, when I don’t understand something, the teacher explains it to me.

I learned many things. It’s fun. Thank you.

I enjoyed studying at the Nihongo Hiroba every Saturday. I have become able to speak Japanese.
I was happy when I read a picture book to the teacher.
Thank you very much to all the teachers.
