I think the amount of listening comprehension practice I got through each class was very helpful.

Thomas from Summer 2024

The Yamanashi field trip was very memorable because all the students in our program got closer through a greatly enriching experience which I remembered enjoying thoroughly!

Kotoba Day was a great extra-curricular challenge.

Joseph from Summer Short-term 2024

I liked freeform conversation the most; it was nice that the teachers were happy to occasionally break away from the textbook and talk about other things; little jokes and facts are helpful.

I think the most productive and interesting parts of the program were the emphasis on pronunciation and writing.

Bryson from Summer Short-term 2024

It was new for me, but now I value pronunciation and writing as much as the other skills. I can’t think of any negative or uninteresting aspects at the moment.

The most productive part was definitely the group session, since we were studying for six hours a day.

Lauren from Summer Short-term 2024

That was the section of the program during which I experienced the most rapid improvement in my Japanese. I also enjoyed being in the regular class with non English-speaking students, which was a great opportunity to practice casual Japanese.

Keep up on the studying day-to-day and definitely use the study lounge (図書室) after class to either preview or just plan out your studying before you return home.

Kiran from Spring 2024

I thought the outings were rather interesting because they provided us with some outside-of-the-classroom experience to places I may have not gone otherwise.

I also had the pleasure of participating in doing the omikoshi as well. The Japanese Culture Trips were also a great experience. Being able to participate in activities and events exclusive to Japan’s culture was a worthwhile experience.

I felt the most productive and interesting aspects of the program were honestly the teachers' varied styles of teaching.
