Aardvark Student Trip to JAPAN!  

Recently Aardvark Japanese student Holly and her Husband Tyler's travelled to Japan in May 2023.  They rented a car and drove around the country side of rural Japan.  You can see from the photos no other tourist are around because Holly and Tyler were driving well off the beaten track.  Not something that is easy to do without Japanese language skills.  Well done Holly!  The amazing photos show how much fun they had!

Japan is a culturally unique place to travel!  Contact us and be ready for your trip to JAPAN!

Feedback from Students

Ms Paige Morin
17 Years Old
Japanese for Adults
"The best part has been being able to talk to a person that really knows Japanese (reading, writing, listening & speaking).  We joke around a lot which makes learning Japanese fun.  I have already recommended this course to my friends in Grade 12."
