Student opinions about Kyoto JaLS, Kyoto
Liked
I really liked the studying environment of the school. Teachers were switched a lot so that I could experience different types of teaching which I loved it. They provide many courses that you have lots of course choices in your level. The lounge was perfect place to making friends.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss: The text book they used in class was 'minna no nihongo'. If you have this book already, you should not buy new one.
