I definitely appreciate being able to understand the context between the language and Japan’s culture. For me, I am able to better able to retain concepts if I understand how they came to be, and I was able to make the connections through the culture classes.

Being asked lots of questions in class by the teachers was really helpful for speaking. I appreciated when my teachers would ask interesting questions that I actually wanted to think about and answer.
