The most helpful activities for me were talking to different classmates in Japanese and going over conversations.

Seeing examples from the book helped allot. At the same time the book can become a crutch if you use it to much.

My favorite events were the Barbeque event and the day long trips with the culture class. I got to hang out with my class and eat good food with both.

It was a great opportunity to bond with classmates and practice Japanese in a non-strictly academic environment.

Don’t just go study in class and at home. Go out in the world and improve your Japanese.

I did enjoy learning the kanji and I am happy with the rate at which we learn kanji, the only thing I have realised is, that I won’t remember a lot of them, which is not too much of an issue because they some of them are niche. That being said some of them are frequently used.

I really felt my Japanese proficiency increase. I also liked the scheduling because it gave me plenty of free time after class.

Tanaka先生 is a very knowledgeable and fun to talk to, and it was nice to have an opportunity to talk to other English speakers.

I am thankful I did because now I have people who will be waiting for me when I come back.

I also got to trip the peaches as well as see the Edo style village which was very fascinating.
