Having the program spoken in only Japanese was a huge help but having the English support sessions were also very helpful to mot just me but everyone who went.

The US program field trips were the most productive and interesting aspects. They were so much fun and interesting and I learned a lot.

Japanese Psychology and Religion were very interesting topics and gave me a new perspective to the Japanese everyday life and social relationships.

All activities were very helpful, but especially pair work.

Please research how to do daily activities in Japan such as laundry etc. Furthermore depending on where you live you may want to look at google maps and see whats in the area beforehand so you can get an idea of where you want to go or shop.

The amount of studying required is intense and you will need to study very hard. You will also need to make an effort to get out and see Japan because there is always more to be studying it can be hard to make time to see Japan but it’s part of the experience.

For me, the best part of the program is simply the quality of study.

In class, pair work was the most helpful and just talking with Japanese friends outside of class was the most helpful in that sense.

English Support was for me the most productive, as it really helped me improve and retain the information I learned in class.

The most productive and interesting part of the program, I think, was having the classes taught all in Japanese. Even from level one, you have no choice but to concentrate on the language and have a need to learn quickly in order to understand better. As a student from the American program, it is hard to think of what was the least productive or interesting, I think everything was just so well done!
