With more than 60 Nihongo-Pro lessons under my belt, I cannot be happier with my decision...
My initial foray into the Japanese language may have taken place in the U.S., but everything about the instruction itself was Japanese to the core: Classes were rigorous, a group ethos was nurtured, and politeness and respect were hallmarks of every interaction. This approach was extremely effective at building cultural competency in a short period of time. But it could also be somewhat intimidating for those who struggle with language anxiety, like me.
After graduation, life happened. I continued to explore Japanese culture, but my familiarity with the language waned, as I had little opportunity to practice and even less desire to reclaim what I had lost.
A decade later, I felt the itch to study formally once again. I explored a number of in-person and online options, settling on Nihongo-Pro due to its scheduling flexibility, its sophisticated learning platform, and its extensive roster of highly qualified instructors.
Ohno-sensei has been a wonderful teacher, holding me to high standards while making the learning process enjoyable and informative. She’s a skilled and patient instructor who incorporates my learning goals and personal interests into each lesson. Ohno-sensei and Nihongo-Pro have increased my confidence level while equipping me to speak -- and even think -- in Japanese.
If you’re serious about enhancing your Japanese fluency, and want caring, individualized instruction along the way, there is no better investment.
