The best aspect I believe is learning from multiple teachers.

Russell from 2014

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

The best aspect I believe is learning from multiple teachers. Each one speaks Japanese a little differently than the other. It was good to hear differences. But one the same topic, it also was challenging because some teachers were more difficult to understand for me.

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

Homework helps me the most I think.

Any other comments or suggestions?

For the American Special Studies students, having the print out of each lesson with the english explanations was the most helpful resource in understand how and why you would use this word or say it in that particular way.

I selected this program because I saw a favorable review for it in my Japanese club’s newsletter, and I had been looking for a study abroad in Tokyo. I also liked how inexpensive the program was and how the offered dormitories, which few other programs did.
