FAQsTESTIMONIALS
I’d say that the two weeks we got as Summer Short Term students before starting the actual Summer Term with the international students helped a lot. It prepared me for the intensity and structure of the program. I’d say the structure of the program and every day classes were very helpful in advancing my Japanese skills. Switching from some review and practice with my peers, to dictation, to kanji, etc, was engaging. I just think the intensity and structure of the program was ideal, at least for me.

It was the most difficult part but writing 作文 was the most interesting and productive thing I did. It really allowed me to see my skill grow and develop really clearly by how well I could express ideas.

While the speech contest was fun what I really enjoyed was the time spent preparing for the cheer with my classmates. It gave us time to connect as a class outside of the classroom.
Read moreOne of the most interesting aspect of the program was being in a classroom with students from across the world. This forced us to use Japanese and not rely on our native language. In addition to learning about the Japanese culture I was also able to learn a lot the cultures from China, Korea, Brazil, etc.
Be diligent. What you put in is what you'll get out of the program.
