Students / Teachers Voice
Rafiuddin (Indonesia)
It's been a year and a half since I came to Japan. My life as a student here so far has been very fun and I think it's going to keep getting better. Japanese was difficult at first but if I keep on studying I know I will be able to get it. The teachers at Kyoto Minsai Japanese Language School very interesting and are very good at what they do. Thanks to them I was able to pass the N1 level of the JLPT. Thank you all so much!
Ying Hui (China)
I had a really fun year and a half at Minsai. There are many events and the teachers are very kind. Not only will you study Japanese but also have many chances to immerse yourself in Japanese culture.
Johan (Switzerland)
The teachers at Minsai always put their all into what they do. Not only do they teach Japanese but also provide all the support necessary for students to advance into a Japanese school or into a career after graduation. I studied at Minsai for a year and a half, improved more than I ever thought I would (I passed the JLPT N1), and had a very fun time.
