  16. Our students say… “Studying a Diploma of Languages in Japanese has been one of the most valuable academic experiences that I have currently undertaken. I would encourage those contemplating studying Japanese or a language at the University of Adelaide to make the most of this opportunity as it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences that I have had thus far at University - from an academia, social-relations and personal benefit perspective.”Robert (Dip in Lang) K Enomoto 2014

  17. “…all my classes always had a really nice social atmosphere - sometimes it can be hard to get to know people at uni, because you only see them for one or two hours a week, but I always found it much easier in Japanese, and all my closest uni friendships came from this class. (And you know, the tutors weren't half bad either!)…Studying a language is a big commitment, but at the end it's awesome to look back and realise how far you've come, and how much you appreciate the friendships that came out of it. I'd recommend it to anyone a hundred times over.” Jessie (Dip in Lang) K Enomoto 2014

  18. The best aspect of this course is… The pace – you always feel like you are moving along! – steady progression of topics. Oral practice during tutorials because it is fun and interactive. Students are involved in learning. High level of interactivity within the course. Regular tests over short periods as the information is not forgotten. Useful tute and good study environment with different background students. It was a very enjoyable course with a range of learning tools and environments. I have learned a lot and feel very accomplished. My interest in this topic has been stimulated even further. I had a lot of fun even though I had to work very hard.
