Musio has made quite a few achievements in May.

Let’s start with the most important one:

Announcements:

2. 「Kid’s English Class with Musio 」at Shinjuku Takashimaya

We are constantly holding Musio English classes to provide hands-on experience for children and parents. 「Kid’s English Class with Musio 」is a 2-month long (5 classes) English class held at Takashimaya’s Shinjuku branch, and the class held on May 19 was a third class of the program.

We were surprised to see that children were already making visible progress. After playing with Musio’s ABC Flash Cards with colorful  animal illustrations, Musio asked “What animal do you like,” to children, and heard them answering back with all sorts of answers, including”Cats”, “Bears,” and “Monkeys.”
