Conversational Japanese Course

I have very fond memories of studying at Meiji Academy Osaka! Thanks to the small groups, I was able to ask questions freely and I met great people. I especially enjoyed the takoyaki evenings, calligraphy classes and going out to Dotonbori together. It was also nice to practice Japanese outside the classroom!

Everybody at Meiji was so accommodating and the instructors went the extra mile in terms of explaining and assisting with all my questions. And there were a lot of them. haha My favorite part were the events they offered. Some of them were by the school but others from local student circles they seem to collaborate with and other infos about seasonal festivals happening. As this was my first time in Japan I don't have nothing to compare to it but I am pretty sure if I decide to study again in Japan, I'll give it a second go with Meiji. Arigatou for everything:)

Overall I've had a great time and the course was well structured. For the short time I was studying there, I was able to advance more than what I was expecting. The variety of activities and cultural excursions was also great. My sharehouse was very simple but clean and well maintained.

My time at Meiji in Osaka was much fun. The instructors were very patient and always made sure to place a lot of importance of talking practices. I liked the interactive classes with a lot of speaking situations in daily life and also that they were fully in Japanese which helped a lot. Events and cultural activities were abundant and I loved the river cruise, visit to the Osaka shrine and also the Katana sword experience we had. Highly recommend taking the Traditional Culture module!
