“My year abroad in the United States was a truly awesome experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone, so I got lots of speaking practice. (...) When I got home, my close friends couldn’t believe how much I had improved!” Mariko Okada – Tokyo (Neil J. Anderson)

“I spent last year in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. (...) There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt embarrassed about my English.
