2018 German Summer Abroad Training University of Wurzburg

17B

I went to Wurzburg, Germany for about three weeks from August 5th to August 27th for overseas language training. After entering university and studying German, I became interested in Germany and wanted to go there. However, it was my first time to go abroad and I was a little nervous, but now that I think about it, I am truly glad that I took part in this overseas training program, which was a very rich and fulfilling three weeks.

In the pre-university class, I was very nervous because I had to go to Germany before I could get acquainted with my teacher and the members I was going with. However, I went to Germany and had some food. As we went shopping, we were able to get to know each other better, and in the end, I was glad that I was able to go to Germany with this group.

Most of the classes were in German, which I didn't understand at all on the first day, so it was very difficult, but as I learned German, I started to understand what the teachers were saying, and I really enjoyed the classes. After class, we did various things such as going out to eat, sightseeing, and helping each other with homework. For extracurricular classes, we went to places such as Residenz and Rothenburg, which are registered as World Heritage Sites. The teachers taught me a lot about the place, and I learned a lot because there were many things I heard for the first time.

For sightseeing, we were able to visit most of the famous tourist spots, including Neuschwanstein Castle, which is the model for Cinderella Castle in Füssen. Each place had so much charm that it cannot be described in words. Every place has its own charm, and I'm not satisfied with just one day, but it's a place I want to go to again.

I was able to participate in this overseas language training program, and I think I was able to experience and learn many things other than studying, such as the differences in environment and culture between Japan and Germany, and interacting with foreigners. I am filled with gratitude to everyone who has been involved with me over the past three weeks. Thank you very much everyone.
I'm really glad I was able to participate in the language training.
