Konnt net besser laufen
February 04, 2026by: Arnold Hofer - GermanyProgram: Bildungsurlaub (Germany)
Alles lief wie geschmiert und die Leute von der Meiji Akademie waren top! Der Unterricht war teils intensiv aber man hat sehr viel in der kurzen Zeit gelernt. Gerade die Lehrer haben viel Wert darauf gelegt, dass alle Schüler ein gutes Verständnis vom Lernstoff hatten. Die extrakurrikularen Aktivitäten waren vielfach und gut geplant. Die Citytour am Anfang meines Studiums in der ersten Woche war als Orientierungsphase und Kennenlernen der anderen Klassenkameraden gedacht was ich sehr angenehm fand. Ich habe das private Apartment mit Meiji gebucht und Sie arbeiten mit einer sehr guten Immobilienfirma zusammen die mich rundum beraten hat beim Einchecken und allen anderen Sachen bezüglich meiner Wohnung. Alles in allem war es sehr gut und Hokkaido...ich kanns net anders sagen alls obergeil! Immer gerne wieder!:)
Une expérience inoubliable au Japon

Super expérience à Meiji Academy Hokkaido. J’y ai étudié pendant 10 semaines et j’ai adoré chaque moment. Les cours étaient intéressants et motivants, et l’ambiance générale très conviviale. La sharehouse était vraiment idéale pour se faire des amis, avec beaucoup d’étudiants américains et allemands. Une expérience inoubliable que je recommande sans hésiter.
Von Anfang bis Ende einfach genial!

Meine Bildungszeit mit Meiji in Hokkaido war einfach der Hammer! Der Japanischkurs wahr sehr gut strukturiert mit vielen Übungseinheiten und Anwendungen für die Grammatik die wir gelernt haben. Es kann manchmal ein bisschen intensiv werden mit den erforderlichen Stunden für die Kursakkreditierung aber die kulturellen Workshops waren echt super. Mir hat das Meditieren im lokalen Buddhistentempel und auch das Taiko Trommeln am besten gefallen! Ein Nachteil ist dass man sich die Aktivitäten nicht aussuchen kann sondern diese wöchentlich oder saisonal variieren. Daher empfehle ich auf jeden Fall sich vorher direkt bei der Schule zu informieren. Was die Unterkunft angeht bin ich bei einer Gastfamilie untergekommen die super lieb war und ich selbst jetzt noch in Kontakt bin. Ein anderer Vorteil bei der Meiji ist, dass es viele Mitarbeiter gibt die deutsch sprechen können. Besonders viele Schweizer und Österreicher habe ich auch kennengelernt. lol Also daher kann ich diese Bildungseinrichtung nur empfehlen wenn Ihr eine Bildungszeit in Japan plannt. Viele Grüße und auf ein baldiges Widersehen. Eure Zoe♡

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.

What inspired me to go abroad, especially to Japan, was the chance to experience something completely new. I had never been there before and wanted to immerse myself in a culture so different from my own. Japan’s mix of tradition and modernity fascinated me.
