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.

—Haylee

The lecture we had on Japanese psychology was definitely my favorite because it helped me better understand how and why Japanese people think the way they do.

I enjoyed the culture classes the most because gave me the chance to experience parts of Japan that I probably wouldn't explore on my own.

Malisa from Winter 2017

Games were helpful because it made the class feel more relaxed, and I wouldn’t feel so nervous when trying to answer questions.

Make sure you know hiragana and katakana before coming.

Maeve from Fall 2022

Don’t have an attitude when coming to Japan. Be respectful of the cultural differences between you and peers as well as the Japanese natives.
