I started studying Japanese with Kazuo about six weeks ago with the intention of taking a GCSE at the end of this academic year.
With very little previous experience of Japanese and with four other AS subjects to study towards the prospect of taking an exam in a language I had only been studying for a year was very daunting. However with just six weeks of study, thanks to Kazuo's teaching I feel far more confident about this aim and with the best part of a year still to go before my exam I think obtaining a high grade at GCSE is not unrealistic.
I have one 1.5 hour lesson a week and look forward to each one and each week I really feel I have taken another step towards my goal.
Over all I am extremely happy with the lessons and with the progress that I have made and hope to continue my lessons even after my exam

Quan (Holison) started studying Japanese with me in 2003.


He visited Japan twice so far and did homestay in Osaka each time.

I have a profound interest in Japanese language.
Japan is the only advanced country in Asia, meanwhile, as China is developing more and more.
I believe that China already plays an important part in the world and its role will become crucial with an hihger understanding with other countrys.

As one of the oldest civilization in the world and the most advanced country in Asia, we need to know each other more and obviously it is getting more important for both of us to do so.

I've studied Japanese with Mr. Udagawa for almost one year. The course is an good opportunity to combine my interest with a high level understanding of anothers culture.

Thanks for Mr. Udagawa and his good teaching, although I started with a beginner level, it was only took me two mounths time to pass the GCSE Japanese Exam, and I was pleased with the result.

Then I decided to continue my Japanese course with Mr. Udagawa this year, and I am trying to do my best to get a content result in the A-Level Exam next year.

I like Japanese because I'm dislecksick (sic) and I've never really learnt English so it comes very easy to me.
Sounds are easy because they are phonetic. Hiragana is also easy because they are like pictures to pictures.
