Summer 2025 @ LTL Tokyo
Our son had one of the most unforgettable experiences with the LTL Tokyo program over the summer! He found it easy to stay engaged with four hours of classes each day and small groups of about 6 to 10 students. Miyu-sensei was a fantastic teacher, very enthusiastic and positive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable! In the afternoons, they explored various parts of Tokyo while learning about Japanese culture. Some of his favorite moments were with Patricia and Kai, who led the city excursions and were a lot of fun to be around! They visited Gotokuji Shrine, famous for its lucky cat statues, participated in a traditional matcha tea ceremony, and even went white-water rafting on the weekend, which was a fantastic break from the city. He stayed with a wonderful host family, and we are genuinely thankful to them for their warm welcome and kindness in making him feel at home. Living with them gave him more daily chances to practice Japanese and learn about everyday life, which helped increase his confidence with the language. A big thank you to Sabatino and Elli, the program coordinators, for their kindness and support - they really made everything easier! We truly recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their Japanese speaking and writing skills, while really getting to appreciate Japan's wonderful rich culture! It is hard to imagine a more rewarding experience - with wonderful teachers, captivating history, beautiful nature and traditions, and unforgettable memories! Our son would love to return next year!
