Voices from Our Community

I feel that these classes have gotten me closer to the unique culture and language of Japan.

Arjun Pal

BCA — SOT

I joined the Japanese course to learn the language, but they soon became the best part of my day. Each session is engaging and helps us learn not just the language, but also the culture in a clear and easy way. I get to learn something new every day without ever feeling overwhelmed.

Japanese classes at Woxsen have been the most fun language course I've taken. Maki sensei is very fun, relatable and takes her time helping us learn Japanese. Not only that but we cover a lot of aspects and is amazing.
