Testimonials
I wanted to learn Korean when I heard it in Anime.
I used to watch a lot of anime when I was in Nepal. I thought the Japanese voices sounded so nice that I decided to learn the language myself.
One thing that has stuck with me while learning Korean is the use of honorifics. I don't really use honorifics in Nepali, so it was an interesting experience as I tried speaking Korean.
The hardest part of Korean for me is the kanji. Because we don't use kanji in Nepal, it's quite challenging for me to memorize and write it. However, the teachers are very kind and helpful.
When I first came to Japan, I couldn't really speak Korean and had difficulty understanding others. Now, however, I have gained enough confidence in my Korean ability to approach complete strangers!
I want to continue my studies, eventually work in a hotel, and ultimately become a first-rate hotelier in Japan.
SHERPA WANGCHHU GYALBU
My reason for choosing Human Academy was because I wanted to focus on speaking, rather than reading and writing.
I began learning Korean with one of my university friends, who was also interested in the language.
Human Academy's emphasis on conversation was ideal to me because I found speaking Korean much more difficult than reading or writing it.
My Japanese teacher really helped me understand many different things about Korean, and they were kind and polite to me, which I think helped improve my skills rapidly.
When I first came to Japan, everything was difficult. Now, however, I can take care of simple tasks by myself. Thanks to the Human Academy and my studying for the required exams, I was able to get into a graduate school here.
After graduating, I would like to return to my home country and become a history teacher.
