Yumi teacher taught us lots of North Amerian’s business style such as how to negotiate and how to built relationship with the clients and so on. Allen’s class was more discussion base and we talked a lot about case studies. The class was small members, so I could have more chance to speak with class mates and teachers.
Back to Japan, I didn’t have to speak out in the class, but I felt different in Canada, I have to speak out and say my opinion, it was good practice for me!
