They went to Jakarta Bowling Centre in Kuningan, South Jakarta. It was held on Sunday, January 26th, 2020 and it started on 7.30 PM. They having fun together, not just as the student and the teacher, but also as a friend. They are all happy but also sad in the same time, because that is a farewell moment to the teacher and the class have to be ended. But both of them, really satisfied, because there are a lot of things and exciting experience that they could’ve got during the language class.

This year, French Language Class got so many positive responses, both from the students and also the teachers. It’s because from the students that have a lot of enthusiasm in learning, and the teachers that very creative, friendly, warm, and kind, so the students can adapted well and the class got more excitement. The teachers also really happy, because they could have an experience to teach and share the culture from their country. We really hope, from this class, we can learn a lot of things, like how to open your mind and adapt with another culture, how to learn and experience new things, learn about how to communicate with others, but on the other hand, you can also improve your language skills.
