Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

I rather liked the sense of community that the culture class trips generated.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

I felt that the focus on conversation in class was quite valuable. Good teachers and helpful staff too. The least productive... Nothing really comes to mind.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

Probably audio practice helped me the most.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

The sense of community that being in the course garnered. Also going around and seeing interesting places was a lot of fun too, as was the instructor's knowledgeability.

If you want a challenge, then this program in definitely what you’re looking for. I came into the program with very basic knowledge of Japanese and am definitely excited about how much I have improved. Learning a language isn’t instant and it takes a while to sink in, but the longer you’re here you become more motivated to utilize what you learn and to continue to progress in your studies. And all of the instructors and office staff are some of the most friendly and approachable people I have ever met. They really make the whole experience quite enjoyable!
