Powder Snowboarding with Nihongo

Program: Study Japanese in Hokkaido

10

I spent the last three months in Hokkaido with Meiji Academy and my time was bloody amazing. I loved the instructors and their passion to always help me out with all my questions. The snow sports were the highlight of my trip. And yes I felt in love with the hot springs. I will definitely get back to Noboribetsu again. Loved it!

Cuatro semanas inolvidables aprendiendo japonés en Hokkaido

Program: Study Japanese in Hokkaido

10

Pasé cuatro semanas increíbles estudiando japonés comunicativo en Hokkaido en clases pequeñas. Los profesores eran muy dinámicos y siempre hacían que las lecciones fueran prácticas, interactivas y fáciles de entender. Me encantó que habláramos japonés desde el primer día, con muchas actividades en pareja y juegos que hacían el aprendizaje muy divertido. Gracias al ambiente cercano de las clases, pude ganar confianza rápidamente y mejorar mi fluidez en situaciones reales. Por las tardes había muchas actividades sociales, lo que me permitió hacer amigos internacionales y seguir practicando japonés de una manera natural.

Aprender japonés viviendo la cultura en Hokkaido

Program: Bildungsurlaub (Germany)

Realizar mi Bildungsurlaub en Hokkaido con Meiji fue una experiencia transformadora, especialmente por la combinación entre clases enfocadas en japonés conversacional y las actividades culturales. Desde el principio, el curso estaba claramente orientado a situaciones reales, algo que yo buscaba desde hace tiempo. Las clases estaban muy alineadas con el japonés conversacional. Practicamos diálogos que realmente se usan en tiendas, restaurantes y estaciones de tren, y eso me ayudó muchísimo cuando hablaba con japoneses fuera de la escuela. Ahora me siento mucho más segura al comunicarme en situaciones cotidianas, aunque todavía cometo algunos errores, pero he mejorado muchísimo gracias a las profesoras que siempre nos corregía con paciencia. Las actividades culturales fueron, sin duda, una parte fundamental del programa. Participamos en ceremonias tradicionales, talleres de cocina local y visitas a lugares históricos en Sapporo. Estas experiencias me pemitió entender mejor la mentalidad japonesa y aplicar el vocabulario aprendido en clase en contextos reales . Ademas, convivir con personas locales hizo que el aprendizaje fue más natural y auténtico. Hokkaido es impresionante, con paisajes naturales espectaculares y una cultura regional muy interesante. Recomiendo este programa a cualquier persona que quiera no solo estudiar japonés, sino realmente vivirlo y usarlo en el día a día.

I’ve always been curious about other cultures and wanted to challenge myself by living somewhere completely different from home. Japan, in particular, fascinated me because of its unique blend of tradition and modernity, and I’ve loved the language and culture for years. Going abroad was a chance to really dive into that world, not just as a tourist, but by living day-to-day life there.

I’ve always been curious about the world beyond my own little bubble. That’s really what pushed me to go abroad. I wanted to challenge myself, try something totally new, and get out of my comfort zone. Learning a new language while actually living in the country where it’s spoken felt like the perfect way to do that.
