The most productive was using the book while sitting and explaining grammar.

Bryson from Winter 2026

My favorite events were the Barbeque event and the day long trips with the culture class. I got to hang out with my class and eat good food with both.

The most fun event in my eyes was the BBQ, being able to connect with all the students regardless of the level is a nice experience.
