Amber said: Chie, the tutor, was amazing. She is the reason I signed up for Level 2 after doing Level 1. I would recommend anyone wanting to do Japanese do so if Chie is the tutor! I found the course to be particularly easy to follow and I plan on practicing what I have learned - the text book is great as you can go over the same things in your own time. I recommend, very happy with the course.
