Students' voice
  • "MLC seemed very organized with both a written and an oral level test to ensure I’d be placed properly, and the trial lesson was helpful to understand what to expect. I also liked how MLC matched both my level of Japanese, and my schedule for a group class."
  • "I like MLC very much. I prefer MLC’s teaching speed, signing up homework, giving tests... And I feel I’m learning new things every single day. Love it. Very well organized, good company !
  • "I think MLC is a good place and the staff are all friendly. I would have no drought in suggesting others to take their classes here, if they want to learn Japanese."
