The intensive pacing of the studies together with the excellent teachers was really good.

Jonas from Summer 2015

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

The cultural excursions in general because they gave you the opportunity to experience various aspects of Japan that you didn't see by being in Tokyo.

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

It's difficult to say. The intensive pacing of the studies together with the excellent teachers was really good. I don't really know about the least productive/interesting thing. Nothing in particular comes to mind.

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

Various drills with grammar and speaking practice.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

The diversity of the places we visited.

I found tests to be a good indicator of where I was at over homework. The homework only covered one topic usually, but tests would cover a wider variety of them mixed around. I’ve never studied Japanese from a textbook in this style, so the textbooks have been extremely helpful in visualizing Japanese grammar points.
