Student Voice

I have been studying Japanese for about 3 years, and did a combination of self study and language classes in America. Even compared to a college course I took in America, Akamonkai’s classes are superior. I took their online Challenge 1 Course, which definitely helped me become more comfortable speaking with appropriate grammar, and improved my writing greatly. I enjoyed the course so much I enrolled in their online Challenge Course 2. I have been a language teacher for 14 years, and I am impressed Akamonkai’s structure, organization and commitment to building their students’ conversational skills through pedagogically sound methods. 

I had so much fun with online study for 3 months. You can take lessons anywhere if you have PC / tablet. I am shy, so I could feel comfortable by taking lessons in my room.
The way of teaching was easy to understand. I could get feedback on my short essay everyday. I also could speak a lot in the lessons. Thanks to the lessons, now my skill of expressing my opinions in Japanese got improved for both conversation & writing. I had a lot of mistakes on verb forms 3 months ago, but now I have more confident on writing & speaking Japanese.

I learned a lot in just 3 months which is a short period of time. My Japanese level went up a lot by this online study including conversation practice sakubun & (short essay) writing.
Online lessons are very fun & easy to take. My Japanese got so much better thanks to teachers’ attentive teaching.

Ozawa-sensei is good at using examples to easily explain the grammar ＆ Kanji. Jo-sensei is really good at teaching the Kanji ＆ new vocabulary in an easy to understand way. Both teachers are really good at keeping the class structured ＆ on track.
