I enjoyed the trip to Kamakura.

Russell from 2014

The Kamakura trip allowed me a view of Japan outside of Tokyo in a less urban, more traditional setting. It also showed off a lot of the history of Japan.

My homestay experience was excellent.

Suhaib from 2014

Talking with my host family every evening I got the chance to practice what I’d learned in class over the previous few days. Not only would they correct me whenever I made a mistake, but I’d also learn a lot of new things from them, too.

Drill practices and textbook work were very helpful.

Demarcus from 2014

Learning about Japanese history was the most valuable thing I learned. Having conversation and Japanese and English enabled me to understand things more.

I found my room to be very comfortable and easy to live in.

Katie from 2014

Overall, I found the dorm to be in a very pleasant location not too far from the station and supermarket. It was also a short trip to school, which made getting home not a worry at all.

It's a great program for people who want to quickly improve their Japanese.

Colette from 2014

I went from being unable to speak Japanese to a native speaker without feeling embarrassed to being able to ask strangers for help, or restaurant workers for their recommendations.

The speech contest was extremely fun and energetic.

Elizabeth from 2014

I feel all of the students had a chance to try hard, perform for each other and the Sensei, and bond. Also, the group sessions and activities offered to the summer short US students was a great help!

The living arrangements were good.

Hailee from 2014

I was especially happy when they put in WiFi. The rooms are nice, the beds are comfy, and I have an air conditioner and small kitchen area. I haven’t had any problems so far.
