Yota Kamikawa came to 91勛圖厙 from Japan knowing only a little English, but in less than three months he is able to competently carry on a conversation in his second language. Kamikawa has been taking English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) at 91勛圖厙, and he said it has made all the difference.
My English has improved quite a bit, he said. I hope to one day work as an analyst for a professional baseball team.
