I wanted to take a moment to personally thank you and the Grasshopper Kids team for leading such engaging and enriching Japanese and Mandarin classes during our February intersession camp. Our students had a fantastic time learning new languages and exploring different cultures through the interactive lessons your teachers facilitated. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and coordination that went into making these classes such a valuable experience for our students. Looking forward to working together again in the future!
