Overall, I really enjoyed the program! I’m very thankful to have been a part of it, and I’d definitely recommend it to serious students. Thank you so much for the valuable opportunity!
—Kelly Couto
I’d say the textbooks were effective, both the ones made by KCP and Minna No Nihongo. They’re thorough and provide a lot of useful information. I use them a lot even when just searching for grammar points or vocabulary. I like the games we’d play in class, too, like role playing about going on trips or eating out at a restaurant and the problems that can or cannot happen. It’s fun and stimulating and gets you thinking on your feet in Japanese

I was extremely genuinely pleased with everything relating to the dorm.
Read moreI was extremely genuinely pleased with everything relating to the dorm. The room was spacious and quiet and comfortably cooled, the rules were fair, the cafeteria was nice, and the dorm manager and his wife were some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I truly have no complaints for my dorm experience.
Do all the homework given. Study a lot for the grammar and kanji tests. There is a way to study and have fun around Tokyo at the same time even in the 8 week program.
Read moreI really like the style in teaching the language for the most part. Having to learn kanji has helped me retain a lot and being forced to speak Japanese on a daily basis also helped me grow in conversation and application of Japanese. I can’t think of anything that seemed the least interesting and productive since most of what was taught, I thought it was really important.
