Comment from Kurea Hayasaka

Thanks to the lessons, I feel confident about communicating in English at the US Open

I was nervous at first, but the staffs from BNP Paribas were very friendly and I was able to solve what I was wondering about.

A valuable experience that felt naturally fun!

I was worried before the lessons, but when I realised that simply building my vocabulary made all the difference, I gained a positive mindset for English. I was able to sense that English won’t be that much of an issue in New York, which is a huge benefit.
