The 1-Day Domestic Study Abroad
Reset your English brain in 10 hours without leaving Japan.
Why go overseas when you can immerse yourself in Fujieda?
You don't need a passport to change how your brain processes English. The Starfish English Intensive is a "Domestic Study Abroad" (Kokunai Ryugaku) experience designed for motivated adults who need a real breakthrough.
This is not a standard lesson. It is 10 hours of continuous English immersion from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, limited to one student per day.
Most participants come to us after years of lessons that never quite “clicked.” This day is designed to break that pattern and prove—to yourself—that you can function in English.
Whether you are a busy executive preparing for an overseas trip, or a senior learner wanting to challenge yourself and rebuild confidence, this experience is built around you.
Course Highlights
- 100% English Environment: From the moment you step in, English becomes the default. No Japanese, no switching back and forth.
- Personalized Curriculum: No generic textbooks. Materials are built around your mistakes, patterns, and goals.
- Deep Consolidation: We use science-backed spaced repetition to ensure what you learn actually sticks.
- Day-Trip Program (No Lodging): A full-day intensive experience without overnight accommodation.
Why Private Immersion?
Most “English Camps” place you in a group of 5–10 students. Even if you attend all day, your actual speaking time may total only 20–30 minutes.
At Starfish English, the entire 10 hours belongs to you. There is no competition for attention, no waiting your turn.
| Feature | Typical Group Camp | Starfish Private Immersion |
|---|---|---|
| Speaking Time | Low (Shared with others) | 100% (All You) |
| Curriculum | Fixed / Generic | Built from Your Mistakes |
| Pace | Must match the group | Adjusted to Your Brain |
| Teacher Attention | Divided | 100% Focused on You |
Sample Itinerary (09:00 – 19:00)
Activities are deliberately designed to alternate between high-output speaking and quiet consolidation, preventing burnout while maximizing retention. Every task forces real-time listening, response, and recall.
| Time | Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 09:00 | Orientation | English brain activation and goal setting. |
| 09:45 | Session 1: Discovery & Level Check | Live speaking analysis to identify your personal error patterns. |
| 10:30 | Deep Consolidation | Quiet focus time. You work independently on custom materials created from your diagnostic session. |
| 12:00 | Active Immersion | Cooking lunch together in English. Task-based, real-world language use. |
| 13:00 | Lunch & Chat | Casual conversation while eating. |
| 14:00 | Session 2: Training | Pronunciation and listening training using the Fluent Forever approach. |
| 15:30 | Break | Tea break. |
| 15:45 | Session 3: Simulation | Real-world simulations (board games, photo description, or practical tasks). |
| 17:15 | Review & Roadmap | Vocabulary review and a clear plan for continued self-study. |
| 18:00 | Dinner | Light dinner and decompression conversation. |
| 19:00 | Dismissal | End of the program. |

Ready to challenge yourself?
Availability is extremely limited (one student per day). Most applicants feel nervous at first — every participant finishes the day saying, “I didn’t think I could do this.”
