I originally chose BBIC because of the unbeatable location. Conveniently located in Chinatown, just a short walk away from either Town Hall of Central station, it's perfect for after-work. I continue studying at BBIC because of my teacher, Minako-sensei, who always goes to the extra effort for her students, and makes learning enjoyable. In fact, I enjoyed classes with Minako-sensei so much that after spending a year abroad (in Japan of course!), I returned to BBIC to study specifically with Minako-sensei. I also appreciate the kind staff at the school who always greet me with a smile and a friendly こんにちは before class. The vibe within the school is transportative and always makes me feel like I'm back in school in Tokyo.
