Spring 2024 Participant
I loved being able to live in an environment where I was fully surrounded by my target language. It was a great opportunity to improve my skills and learn more about the language and culture.

Academic Year 2023 Participant
The progress of my language ability was by far the most rewarding element of studying abroad. When I arrived in September of 2023, I could barely communicate my thoughts to my host family, and we had very surface level conversations. After around 3 months, I realized how much more smooth I was becoming with my Japanese, and how it became much easier to ask for simple things. By the end of the year, I was able to have deep conversations with them about Japanese culture and how it differed from other cultures, and many other subjects. Seeing this progression and also having an outsider watch it occur and tell you how much you are improving is better than any A on a test, and when I left Japan, I was more confident in my Japanese and ability to pursue it than ever before.

Spring 2024 Participant
The finer points of the language usage as well as, inevitably, those phrases and usages that textbooks don't tell you - those that are used in every day life as well as the general usage that native speakers use intuitively. Seeing the language used "live" allows you to make the same instinctual connections as those who have been speaking it their whole lives.
