We had the first Japanese class today. The lesson was taught in a very clear manner, with very easy to understand terms and grammar explanations. I appreciate the fact that each student was taken care of, and Professor Tadayoshi made sure that each of us understood correctly what he taught. Nobody was left behind. Wonderful lesson. Looking forward for the next one.

Great class, the lessons are great for those who are serious about learning the Japanese language. I'm a slow learner but even I can move at the pace of this class!

Oh... what else i can tell...
The village is nice place to explore...
When you look around you find small traditional houses in a beautiful landscape all over the SIM.
One of its highlights is the language school where none native japanese speakers are able to learn the japanese language.
Oh... wow... what else can i say... there is so much more to see, to get to know, to explore or simply enjoy.

so best... visite us and take a look around

I am always amazed and excited to come to SecondLife Japan. The people are all warm and friendly. It is a learning experience as well for me.

私はUSAに住んでいて｢日本｣と言う言葉に引かれて来ました。
懐かしい、とても心休まる場所です。人々も優しく、すばらしい人たちです。ここで色々な人と出会い、その人たちが日本語、あるいは英語に親し目たら本当にすばらしいことです。

Very nice place with likeable and kind people. Lessons are well-structured, easy to understand... But you need to be really motivated in learning japanese. Professor take care of every student to make sure we understand. I'm waiting impatiently the next lesson...

Even though I am a gaijin, I feel extremely welcomed every time I'm in Second Life Japan. The peaceful beauty of the landscape and the warm people that inhabit it give you a nice sense of belonging you don't find very easily. I have made it my home already.

Hai ^.^
Everything is looking great at The Japan Centre YAY!!!
cant wait for more :D

Therefor i cant express in english as well as i would like, i say it in german: SecondLife Japan ist ein sowohl graphisch liebevoll gestalteter wie auch kulturell super angelegter Ort in Second Life, zu dem man immer wieder gerne zurückkehrt - um zu entspannen, neues zu entdecken oder einfach nur nette Leute zu treffen und kennenzulernen. Es ist eine liebevoll gestaltete Sim, in der es immer wieder Spass macht, sich aufzuhalten. Eigentlich kann ich jedem nur einen Rat geben: Hin und selber gucken!

Professor Tadayoshi: Please excuse that i cant really express in english, but i am sure some german people will read it too ;)

Yours, Horsey

When a person can learn and experience another culture without needing to leave there own home is simply amazing. To me this experience is an unique experience to find a place like this so in depth in cultural study in a virtual world. Well done.

The Japan Centre is a very nice sim here in Second Life. I like Japan and i am hoping to speak japanese one day. Banzaii!

hello everybody i'm belgian and i speak french so forgive me for my poor english ^^.
this is the best japanese language and culture sharing center ever made tadayoshi sensei^ ^.this is the place for practicing your japanese with natives speakers using both text and voice chat nowhere online i've found that before.more than a language practice ground it's also a nice place where to find nice peoples,the japanese crew included of course ;)
i spend good time merging in this japanese area.
i feel that here in Bonzo we can help us each other to rais e our japanese level.and it's only the begining for me ^ ^

J'invite personnellement les francophones qui souhaitent s'exercer ou apprendre le japonnais à faire un tour par ici des petites notions d'anglais devraient suffire,aussinon faites moi appeler, on se donnera rendez-vous ^ ^.

story:once upon a time some japanese whose were building a cultural center accessible for some penny...
IT HAS TO BE REWARDED!COME ALL !!^ ^

I enjoyed my first lesson, I think it would benefit greatly from more vocal participation... I will be ready with a microphone for next time... big thanks to everyone at the Japan Center, this place provides a really great environment for language learning.

I just wanted to say that what you have built here is a wonderful thing. A place for westerners and Japanese to mingle and learn each others' cultures and languages, and help each other in their learning, is a great idea. I hope to attend your language lessons in the future, when my budget allows, but for the moment I have rented a shop and am enjoying spending my time in this sim. I am very shy, so I have not spoken with you yet, but I hope to soon.
Thanks for creating it.

Thank you for all your superb comments! I will continue to provide the same learning opportunity for those that want to learn.

Karlingo has bridged the gap, of space and time. Making it possible to create a mecca of learning and cultural exchange from different points around the world. It is truly amazing that technology today has been able to make this all possible. I am proud, to be included as his close friend and from my own cultural roots.It warms my heart to see it here

I Love this place. I'm learning Japanese under the great teaching of Karlingo Lorefield and I feel like I'm really making progress. I am there as often as possible, not just for the lessons but also for the community aspect...

Fantastic.

Karl's SIM offers a fantastic opportunity to learn or improve the japanese language. I love the occasion to meet native speakers from japan who give useful hints concerning the language and interesting information about japanese habits and culture.

I've only been to one lesson so far, but I am quite impressed with how well it's already gone. I see people already putting together sentences, and the community of the place seems very welcoming and nice to talk to. I look forward to learning more. :D

I'm very happy to have found this place. One can easily get into contact with native speakers and have an excellent class in japanese at times which do not collide with the RL job. And it's so convenient to just sit at home in front of the computer. I can really recommend it.
