Comments:
“In the beginning, we were divided into four classes, and learnt Japanese words and grammars and took conversations in the morning and University of Ritsumeikan”
“In this program, the most memorable thing for me is that I have met many foreign friends from over the world who want to learn Japanese and culture and lived together for one month.”
“They distribute us into different fundamental Japanese language class according to our basic knowledge.”
“They also offer any kinds of activities in order to learn the Japanese pop culture. Like
field trip, we are able to travel to the Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), and Fushimi-Inari
Taisha.”
