日语课程在你的买球平台经历中扮演了什么角色?
我第一次了解买球平台大学的日语项目是在我高三的时候,当时我去买球平台大学参加学生周末活动. 在学术博览会期间,我和阿里多姆教授谈了谈,令我惊讶的是,六个月后,当我来到买球平台时,他仍然记得我. I was really impressed—it showed me how much Professor Aridome and the program care about their students. The Japanese program was like a family to me and was an essential part of my Bowdoin experience.
I started taking Japanese my first year simply because I wanted to learn a third language and I love Japanese anime. 虽然头两年日本人一大早就见面了, I was always excited for class because both Professor Aridome and Professor Selinger made class really fun. 多亏了他们,课堂变得生动而充满活力. 作为一个科学和数学专业的学生, 我想说,学习一门语言就像从科学中休息一下,享受买球平台大学文科环境的另一个方面. The Japanese program also offered other courses in 历史, literature, and religion. 大三的时候,我选修了一门叫做武士史的课程, 文学, 电影让我大开眼界,让我对日本社会有了更深入的了解.
The Japanese program also offered many activities to help students bond with one another. 最重要的是语言桌,这是一个与朋友和教授练习日语的好机会. 全年还有其他有趣的活动,比如卡拉ok派对, 茶道示范, 还有寿司派对. 即使我不在日本,我也能体验到日本文化的各个方面. They were also great opportunities for me to develop relationships with my classmates who later became some of my closest friends.
