Today two of our newest students took strides forward in class. For every student, progress looks different, and for students who are brand new to English, it takes time to build confidence. But the first step is trying and participating, and even beginners learn quickly in a supportive environment! I know these new students will thrive in the long run. ~ Leah Sensei
Today via live feed, we had a visiting student all the way from Kamiya-cho! It`s always good to meet new friends whether in person or online. Hopefully we will be able to meet even more students, either those who are currently in Amity or those to come in the future. Please know we can`t wait to meet you!

This week many students are celebrating their triumphant Eiken test results! Many of our students passed their challenging exams, and even those who did not pass have shown a lot of tenacity and improvement. Students should be proud of their efforts, and we will help them learn even more!

Today, two of our P1 students were able to get through their classes without their parents. That's a big step for them as they prepare to enter P2 next month. We are very proud!

Throwing Beans In February
February 3rd marked a holiday tradition unique to Japan: chasing away an oni for Setsubun. While many countries celebrate the division between seasons, few of them do it in such a unique way! Apparently, people have been throwing beans into the air for a thousand years. What new traditions will this generation create in the future? Only time will tell. - Leah Sensei
A lot of rain and a lot of promise!
Today one of our baby students was able to remember and say the word tunnel! We are so very proud of our students and look forward to watching them grown continually. Also the snow has almost completely melted and the rain has arrived.

New Students, New Opportunities
Today another new, young student joined Amity! Although she was shy, with encouragement and kindness she gradually became more comfortable. I am glad to say we can provide such a comforting environment to students of all temperaments! - Leah Sensei

Cold Weather, New Students!
Yesterday two more students joined our family at Yonago Amity! It is great to know that no matter the weather, new families are determined to take chances at a new school. We hope that as winter becomes spring, even more students will join us here!
