Reviews from Last Year
I like that there is a lot of flexibility with the language lessons for the day, as well as the chance to ask the teacher questions about the Japanese language or even Japanese culture that maybe I didn’t quite understand. Having the one on one support was fantastic. What I appreciated most, though, was the ability to learn about various topics - especially those relating to our day trips, while communicating entirely in Japanese. And when I didn’t understand a word or a phrase - which happened often, the staff were so helpful at breaking it down to more simple and easier to understand Japanese. This truly augmented the learning experience for me. (Martin-san from USA)
I am so happy this program exists, and I thank you for the opportunity to participate. The homestay idea is great: living with a real Japanese family helped so much. The classes helped me so much in learning Japanese, and the cultural experiences really helped me to feel Japan as it should be experienced. Thank you again for creating this program and for the wonderful opportunities we all experienced. (Ron-san from USA)
Before joining this homestay program, I had already studied Japanese and passed the N1 qualification, but I had never had the chance to live with a real Japanese family. This program gave me a wonderful opportunity to immerse myself in Japanese culture and experience how warm and kind Japanese people are. Even as someone who has passed N1, I can confidently say that this program is beneficial for Japanese learners of all levels.
The best part was building a true friendship with my host family. We still stay in touch, and I even had the chance to reunite with them during the Japanese New Year Festival (お正月). It was truly an unforgettable experience. (Adam-san from Hong Kong)
