BRONTE,18 UK
6-Month Course + Conversational Japanese & Traditional Culture
Out of all the things I did during my study-abroad with Meiji, my favourite part was learning Japanese directly while speaking with my host family. They really shaped my experience to be as great as it was by opening their home to me and making me feel like a family member.
NIEK,17 Netherlands

MARIANNE,25 Switzerland
3-Week Course + Traditional Culture
The teachers at Meiji are very kind. I liked the classes with all teachers, because they explain everything very clearly. When we had some questions beside the text book, they always took time for me to help me with anything. Especially Komiya-sensei is a great teacher!! :)
MARK,22 Russia

STEPHANIE,28 France
