Cultural Immersion Package (Japanese + Culture + Homestay)
“Good combination of learning Japanese language and culture”
Locations:
Location of the school is very central and good to find
Location of my homestay family was also in a good distance to school, without long walks
Classes and teachers:
The lessons were well prepared and a good mix between learning new things and practicing talking. Every single teacher was amazing and responded to my needs – I cannot wish for more 🙂
Thank you so much, for teaching for me, though I was the only student. I really appreciate that!
Afternoon Activities:
All Afternoon activities were adjusted to my interests, so I was very lucky! We went to Himeji and Kobe city, to art and architecture related museums and even for dinner together. The activities were a good combination with the classes in the morning, to get to know Japanese culture and language.
If I would stay for more than one week, I would ask to maybe shorten every second activities a little to get home earlier, to get more time to rest. Because of all the new impressions and the three languages (Japanese, English and german) I was extremely tired every evening. I think a little time to rest between school and evening time with the family (just half an hour – to one hour) would have been perfect.
Homestay family:
What a lovely family I had! They were so helpful and showed me so much about daily Japanese life! We always had breakfast and dinner together and one evening they took me out for dinner to one of their favorite restaurants to eat Okonomiyaki. That was a great experience, though I wished my Japanese language were better, so I could talked more with the other guests. The mum also made me every day lunchbox with was soooo delicious!
