Overall
Language of instruction: Japanese
Was learning Japanese a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Japanese
How much did you improve your Japanese?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Japanese is a very difficult language and it takes a long time to master. There's a point when the time focused on perfecting the language must be balanced with the time spent on the curricular studies and then progress slows down.
