![]() Hokkaido Japanese Language School also emphasis very much on culture exchange and of course your own interest, we studied Japanese for half a day and in the afternoon, we will have different activities according to the course that we picked. Mine was traditional culture and fashion culture. I had the chance to experience traditional Japanese Kadou (Flower arrangement), tea ceremony, Matsuri (Japanese festival) and wearing Yukata (traditional dress). In my free time, I was given the opportunity to explore Sapporo and experience the local culture with many of the local Japanese students. Although I came to Hokkaido alone, I never felt lonely; I was able to become a part of the warming Hokkaido Japanese Language School community and made friends that lasted a lifetime. This two-week program at Hokkaido Japanese Language School gave me insight and experience I never could have in a traditional language school. I will come back to see all of my friends here! |

![]() The inclusion of local volunteers from students to family house visits was really a treat. It was a great way to practice Japanese out of class and provides the opportunity to make friends to keep in touch with the Sapporo community and Japanese language long after leaving. And by the way, Hokkaido in summer is sunny yet cool; the best way to beat the humid heat elsewhere in Japan. In short, Hokkaido Japanese Language School had great and caring teachers who really go beyond the call of duty to provide a native speaking environment and lots of fun. Definitely recommend. |

![]() In France, it was not possible to find intermediate-advanced Japanese class in my region so Japanese Language School gave me a fantastic opportunity to improve.My weakness is kanji, I can’t remember them unless I practice every day. At Hokkaido Japanese Language School, I learned about 5 new kanji per day plus the vocabulary, thousands of new words during my stay ! Also, I really liked the activities after class such as snow rafting, Asahiyama zoo, nabe party… I fall in love with the winter here ! Hokkaido Japanese Language School has a lot of students from all the world so I made a lot of friends. I discovered both Japanese and other countries culture for the price of one trip. At last, the best thing at Hokkaido Japanese Language School is surely its staff : they are nice, open-minded and dedicated. They will do everything for you and are always ready to listen to you. They really look like a big family for me and I will never forget them.For those who still doubt, believe me, this school rocks ! |

![]() School activities were interesting and good enough to let us know the Japanese culture. On the other hand, schoolmates were from different countries so I could make friends of different nationalities. I had never expected any astonishing progress in two week’s time, but I really enjoyed the time here. I have decided to continue studying Japanese after returning to Taiwan. I will definitely miss the teachers and friends here!! |

![]() Although I spent only two weeks here, I did fall in love with Sapporo. I love the life style here though it is really cold in winter. The life here makes me feel alive! I would love to thank Hokkaido Japanese Language School for organizing everything so well such that everything went smoothly even though it was my first time to visit this city. I am expecting to come back to Hokkaido in near future. |
