■ Welcome Aboard!より
Compass provides you with opportunities to explore and discuss universal issues while learning the Japanese language and its cultural perspectives. While Compass offers key learning events, you are still the driver of your own journey. Each lesson ends with an action project where you are tasked to make an impact in Japanese whether it’s small or big. Imagine yourself completing such important tasks - all in Japanese! You will be so proud, and so will we.
As much as accomplishing the tasks at the end of each lesson feels great, the best part of being on the journey is the experience with your fellow learners and your sensei. Compass’ activities allow you to experience learning with your partner, small group members, whole class, and sometimes fellow Compass users around the world!
