Q.How do you prepare before studying abroad?

 When I decided to study abroad in Germany, I was at a loss as to how long to study abroad.I considered long-term study abroad, such as half a year or a year, but after considering graduation and job hunting, I chose short-term study abroad during the summer vacation.It took about two months from the time I decided to study abroad, but I didn't have much time to do things like final exams at Hirosaki University, air tickets, bus arrangements, and hotel reservations.

 

Q.What about classes at your study abroad destination?

 On weekdays from XNUMX:XNUMX am to XNUMX:XNUMX am, we had German classes in different classes.There was also a conversation class twice a week from XNUMX:XNUMX to XNUMX:XNUMX.During the weekend, we had optional excursions to Luxembourg and France.I also had a project about Tria about three times.It was a class with about XNUMX to XNUMX people in one class, with participants from all over the world.The atmosphere in the class was friendly.Also, during the class, if there were any questions, many students interrupted the teacher's explanation and asked more and more questions.There weren't that many challenges.I had a quiz on the next day what I learned that day, so I had more to review.

 

Q.What do you remember most?

 There was an event called International Essen.This was to serve the cuisine of each country.The Japanese members made nikujaga, curry, and rice balls, and brought sake and Japanese sweets.Japanese food was so popular that it ran out quickly, and many people asked me if it was no longer available.I also made some friends who got to know about Japan at this event.Food from all countries was delicious, but I was happy to be able to eat Japanese food for the first time in a long time and it was popular, and it remains as a good memory.
