Ms. Deborah, an experienced teacher, supports his training. Her wonderful smile and clear teaching make learning easy for all students. Here is a comment from her.

「It's always a pleasure to teach JICA volunteers because of their impressive humility and willingness to learn and understand Papua New Guinea's language and culture. Kazu-San is no exception. His pronunciation, understanding, written and speech production skills are excellent at this 'Pre-Basic User Level' 」

Wishing him a fantastic two years as he masters Tok Pisin and deepens his understanding of PNG!
