Student Voices

(Jiang Tingting/ China)
When I heard that Osaka was a big city from my relatives, I collected a lot of information myself and chose this school. In this school, there is a lot of speaking practice in class and teachers who teach passionately. During lunch hours, we all have fun and eat lunch together. While I have decided to continue studying in a Japanese university after graduation, we are practicing giving presentations, talking about the news, and practicing reading newspapers; all activities that will surely help in my upcoming university studies.


(Niramol Chalermpol/ Thailand)
I came to Japan because I wanted to be able to speak Japanese for my career. Osaka is similar to Bangkok, so I was able to adjust easily to life in Japan. The teachers, while sometimes strict, and sometimes kind, have helped my classmates and I study together. Even I was surprised by my improvement in Japanese. After graduating from this school, I plan to study hotels and the hospitality industry in Japan.


(Lee Yeongjo/ Korea)
I came to Japan because I wanted to study Japanese in Japan even though I majored in Japanese in my university in Korea. I chose this school because, when compared to other schools, this school had the good tuition fees, class times, and a lot of school events. Immersed in a Japanese-only environment, and because the teachers have helped correct my mistakes effectively, my Japanese level has increased greatly compared to before. Even the people around me often say, "Your Japanese has improved, hasn't it?"
