Tests, Tests, Tests!
Many of our students have started writting their TOEIC Bridge tests on Sunday and the rest
will take place on the 22nd of March! Wishing all students who have written
and those who will write the best of luck! Give it maximum effort!
We know how hard the students have been preparing and I am confident they will do their best!
Learning a foreign language can be very difficult but I am very proud of how well the students
have been progressing!

Cherry Blossom Facts
To welcome in the new season, I`d like to share some interesting facts about one of Japan`s most beautiful features with all of you.
Did you know, The oldest tree in Japan is over 2,000 years old. You can find Jindai Zakura within the grounds of the Jissoji Temple in Yamanashi, with a root circumferences of 13.5m,
that`s huge!
There are over 100 different varieties of blossom in Japan, with the most popular bloom being the Somei Yoshino, which is a white flower with a hint of pink.
Cherry Blossoms are a symbol shared by Japan and Washington D.C. as a sign of peace and friendship, and it is one of the only places outside Japan that also celebrates Cherry blossom viewing.
There`s a lot more to learn too, Why don`t you share some of your favorite facts about Hanami with us too?

Almost time...
It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over!
Some students will be retrning, some will be leaving us,
and some will be changing courses!
It has been an interesting year, filled with many ups and downs!
I have bonded and gotten very close to a lot of my students!
I am so glad, that I will still be teaching many of them! For the new students,
I am excited! Seeing and meeting new faces always makes me happy!
For those that will be leaving, it will be sad to see them go! I have such great memories and
I will definitely miss them!
It is almost time, and we are getting ready!

Spring has Sprung
This week has been very exciting for everyone, Our students are graduating, many are off to travel and experience the world, and the cherry blossoms have started to bloom.
I`ve had many exciting conversations with everyone about what they like to do during Spring Vacation, something I didn`t really get to experience last year.
I`ve learned a lot from them all too, telling me about Hanami and the festivals that happen this time of year, and I especially have learned about today, White day.
It`s not celebrated in any other country so I was very happy to have my students explain it to me, it sounds lovely!
