Speed Culturing was fun. It was a good opportunity to practice conversation and meet new people. The students in the other class were very kind and patient.
-Jennifer Barbosa
It was a great opportunity to speak with unknown native speakers. Sometimes I couldn't understand all of their words, but I could keep following the conversations. They all were so kind that I enjoyed the class. On the other hand, I often had trouble expressing Japanese culture. It was caused by not only my lack of English skill but also understanding my own culture. If possible, I want to have more chances to talk with native speakers.
-Miyuki Kawai
I think it was helpful. The other students were pretty nice, and they had good topics to discuss. Meeting or talking with a new person is always interesting. I learned new words and some funny slang. Many of them were native speakers or nonnative speakers with good English; this made the conversations very fluent and comfortable for me.
-Kener Moya
In my opinion, it was a great opportunity to test our level of English, practice, and self-evaluate the progress of our vocabulary and pronunciation. I also think it helped to see if we already had more confidence to speak, understand, and respond at the level that each one wants with people who have a good domain of the language.
