Do You Need To Speak The Language?

One of my concerns when I first started training in Japan, was how I would cope with training, given my limited Japanese language skills.

I need not have worried. Although the classes are in Japanese, the instruction has been excellent. Admittedly my instructors sometimes use gestures to get a point across.

The best thing about my slowly increasing language skills, (thanks to private tuition and JapanesePod 101) has been the fact that I can socialise more with the people at training. (^_^)
