I have to say it was an incredible experience

Intensive Japanese 20 Lexis Kobe - language school in Japan

Japan, 〒650-0038 Hyogo, Kobe, Chuo Ward, Nishimachi, 36 三菱UFJ信託銀行神戸ビル

I recently completed a three-month General Japanese course at Lexis Kobe, and I have to say it was an incredible experience. The teachers were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and they made the learning process engaging and fun.

The communicative approach to language learning used at Lexis Kobe was very effective in helping me improve my listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. I appreciated that the teachers focused on practical, real-life situations, which helped me to feel more confident in using Japanese in everyday situations.

The cultural activities and excursions were also a highlight of my experience. I had the opportunity to participate in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, visit local shrines and temples, and even attend a Japanese baseball game! These experiences not only helped me to better understand Japanese culture but also allowed me to make new friends and practice my Japanese skills outside of the classroom.

The facilities at Lexis Kobe were excellent. The staff were also friendly and accommodating, and they made sure that all of my needs were met.
