Did NILS help you improve your Japanese?

Yes, of course.
I have learned Kanji, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, listening skills very well.
These skills improved better than before.
When I had questions, teachers always answered my questions immediately.

This is your third times in NILS short-term programs, right? What made you come back NILS?

Hunter

Yes, this is my third time in NILS. Fist time, I was a teenager and at first, I was a bit worried about getting along with teachers, classmates and staying in Japan. But teachers were so kind and I made friends with other students from various countries. NILS short-term program may be held in a small size, but I could get a chance to talk a lot with teachers closer.

Interviewer

How would you rate your teacher?

Hunter

Excellent. All the teachers where very good, with little to no faults.
I have attended NILS short-term program twice before. And also in this time, I have had a good time in studying NILS and improved my Japanese skills, especially Japanese onomatopoeia. There are so many onomatopoeias in Japanese language.
I mastered “fuwa-fuwa”, like “fluffy” in English.
