Everything from the day was very informative and helpful, and the thing I enjoyed most was probably hearing about where learning languages had taken these people, the amount of amazing experiences they'd had and continued to have, and what it had done for them. It was all very encouraging.

What a blessing and an eye-opener for my students to be able to be a part of this event full of 'real' people with 'real' Asia skills and experiences!

The conversations I had with the people whose lives were influenced by engagement with Asia made me change my mind about learning an Asian language. At first I was definitely sure that I wouldn't continue learning a different language, but I found out that it can benefit your life in many ways, if you have these skills, opening more opportunities in life.

Being at a university and understanding the importance of having a second language in today's society was very valuable for my students. Many told me that they felt inspired and encouraged to keep learning Japanese.
