Student's voice

"I felt more comfortable talking in VR than in real life."

"I could talk to my friends regardless of physical location."

"The group chat with my classmates was very fun! (When I got in finally...)."

"It was really fun to meet other people in the group session. We were able to show each other Japanese places (i.e. eating Ramen and Takoyaki, seeing a traditional Japanese house). These were fun because we could even see each other in the VR world, and we could experience Japanese culture together.

"I think it was useful because we were able to explore together as if we were travelling to Japan with friends."

"We get to go into the different VR worlds and get to see things like a traditional Japanese house."

"It's a good place for us to meet up and talk to each other and practice Japanese, also useful when we want to do activities together in the VR world."

"I didn't run into any group sessions, but I can see how there is a learning curve for some to learn how to use VR chat."

"VR chat was the most buggy application I used. I missed most of the first group sessions because of that."

"The con would be that walking around in the VR chat worlds gave me a lot of motion sickness for me, so I was not able to be in the world for more than an hour."

"We did have a little trouble finding each other to go into the same server but it could be an easy fix."
