Ruisi from Summer 2019

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

I find the trip to kamakura the most satisfying because i got to learn stuff about Japanese temples and traditions.

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

I got to practice listening and speaking in class, and the teachers were generally very supportive. Sometimes explanations on grammar tended to be dry though.

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.
