I contacted JACS Institute as a complete beginner in the Japanese language after moving from Australia in 2003.
I took advantage of their free introductory lesson and found that Kamei-san's teaching method was both practical and fun. I signed up for 1term and the results were immediate.
I have just started my second term of lessons after finding that my ability to speak conversational Japanese has gone from nothing to speaking to people. in Japanese and most importantly I am understood. My lessons are Tailor-made and flexible depending upon my work load.
I have no hesitation in recommending Kamei-san and Kanno-san and the JACS method of learning Japanese to anyone who wants to learn how to speak fluently and have fun along the way.
