Learning Japanese for my daughter

I come to ARC for my daughter. My oldest daughter will be in elementary school very soon. I will then get letters from the school, right? At present I have to call to consult with my husband every time, but now my daughter is going to be in elementary school so I can't just keep doing that.

In fact, I can speak Japanese because it's been 10 years since I came to Japan. However, I just cannot learn how to read and write and it always makes me feel inconvenienced. However, I only studied at ARC for 4 months and now I remember all the Hiragana. I asked the teacher at the kindergarten to help put the kana syllables along the Kanji and now I can read the letters. Just being able to read Hiragana makes things so easy! If I keep working hard I will learn more Kanji and life here will be much easier. When I think like that it gives me more motivation.

I was introduced to ARC by a friend who went to Shinjuku Ekimae campus. Coming to school is very fun and the teachers are very kind. I really feel fortunate to come here. As I learned Japanese by myself, on top of writing and reading, my grammar is also weird. I feel thankful for the teachers to help me fixing my Japanese of 10 years. At ARC, it is very good to study durling making a livelihood, so I recommend the school to people who are in a situation similar to me.
