What our community members are saying about Barkester
"Absolutely mindblowingly mind-opening. My whole perception of language has expanded.Senpai's methods were fun and entertaining, too. The phonetics courses are like learning an instument or martial arts. Language is art, not science there. Totally Eastern. (And I'm so in love with the teacher.)"
"Doing my phonetics exercises on the road worked incredibly well for me. So much walking between villages, I love the ability to improve myself on the road as we go. And when I'm lonely, I can always go online with Senpai for fun and refinement when I can't be there. Best teacher ever! "
"I totally keyed in on Sensei's phonetic program. All about practice and training. First correct, even if slow. later faster. later test yourself. Just like so many other trainings I've done. Martial and music. Forms practiced 'till calves caved and scales played 'till the blood on my fingers clogged the holes. I never go halfway. Mastered his 10 week course in 13 days easy. Ready for the next level."
"I despise most everything, come to it, but that said, I didn't mind the classes and never felt at all the need to kill Sensei and that says alot. Since he survived, I learned a whole new way of looking at language. I will tolerate him to teach further."
"Its so nice to mellow out with Sensei at evening study. We play games, practice and all the normal stuff too when we have time. Fun stuff first. After a long day of battles, people and even freaking plants trying to off my ass every day at high school, Sensei saves me from thinking all study sucks. I leave fighting ready and speaking better, too. "
"I couldn't understand them when locals told me the tentacle monster lives in the pond and went for a swim day 1. Bad day...week really. Won't happen again. My listening is good now thanks to Sensei. I don't get robbed and kidnapped near as often now and my future as a great hero is assured! Thank you Sensei."
"My faves are the oral practices. I do them while watching my greatest heroes on the telli. A couple vids go by and I discover I've been practicing for 40 minutes already! Getting real good real quick. Classes are cheap and I even share mine with Haruka! She is soooo cool and we pay 50/50. I love my class and Sensei!"
"With so much extra time now that death's out of the way, I took up Teacher's phonetic program. I don't need light or anything to practice and enjoy practicing the vocal practices during my casket time. I can now make comparative charts to isolate the new in languages of study making study much faster and it was a fun process. He even signed me up for night classes. He's the best. "
"English for IT was never so fun. First we learned how to get all our books and software for free. Other times we'd play games with missions explained in English. I became a member of the world open source and torrenting communities opening much of the world to me. Called it an English class. Haven't paid for software or books since. LOL!! Best teacher ever."
