Vladimir Rizikov, a student who studied with us last winter from Baruch College, City University of New York, wrote a very nice article about his experience for his college newspaper (The Ticker), which we were pleased to receive a copy of recently. Our cheeks are still red from blushing, but we’d like to take the opportunity to reprint a few choice quotes:
“[GenkiJACS] has an excellent reputation for its academics, teachers and cordial homestay families.”
“I was able to not only further my education in Japanese but also had the ability to practice it daily while it was still fresh in my mind.”
“I also had the privilege of living with a very accommodating, friendly and loving Japanese family as part of the school program. I took some culture classes in Kimono (traditional Japanese clothing), toge (pottery), chanoyu (tea ceremoy), and shodo (calligraphy) as well as participated in many field trips throughout Fukuoka.”
“I cannot help but stress the importance to other students of this outstanding academic learning process and the joy of my experiences. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to give it a try while they have a chance.”
This student was able to receive academic credit at Baruch for his study with us, and we are always happy to work with other universities to achieve the same goal. Contact us with any special requests!
