  1. Reasons for Japanese Language School Affiliated with Tokyo International University

    Since Japanese Language School Affiliated with Tokyo International University is part of the university, I had complete confidence not only in the learning environment but also in the quality of the teachers, the teaching materials, and the instructional methods, which is why I chose this school without hesitation.Additionally, since the school has an affiliated dormitory, it eliminates the worry of finding a place to live immediately after arriving in Japan. There are multilingual staff members on campus, and the school also has a liaison office in Taiwan, so I can consult with them with peace of mind. Furthermore, the school offers a well-structured curriculum, allowing even someone like me—who struggles to plan my own schedule—to use my study time efficiently. I also find the flexibility to enjoy life in Japan without feeling overwhelmed, thanks to the fact that some weeks only have half-day classes, to be a major appeal of this school.

  2. About School Life

    At Japanese Language School Affiliated with Tokyo International University , we place importance not only on grammar and vocabulary but also on conversational skills, so students have many opportunities to speak in class. The atmosphere in the classes is friendly and welcoming, and I feel that it is a comfortable learning environment where students can interact with one another regardless of nationality or age.

    The teachers are professional and enthusiastic, and their lively classes make learning enjoyable every time. The school also offers a wide range of elective classes tailored to students’ individual goals. I took both the regular classes and the JLPT preparation course, and I was able to pass the JLPT N1 within one year.

    After passing N1, I started taking BJT classes, where I am learning business honorifics and Japanese corporate culture. I feel that these classes are extremely useful for me as I aim to find employment in Japan in the future.

  3. Current and Future Goals

    My future goal is to find employment in Japan after graduation and live my life as a working professional while immersing myself in Japanese culture. Thanks to the support of my teachers and the school, I have received a job offer from a company in Tokyo. In the future, I aim to work for a Japanese travel agency, where I hope to leverage my study abroad experience, the skills I’ve acquired, and my past experiences to become someone who can promote Japan’s appeal to the world. Furthermore, I intend to continue growing so that I can serve as a bridge connecting not only Japan and my home country but the entire world.

  4. A Message for Those Considering Studying Abroad

    My personal philosophy is: “You only live once, so if there’s something you want to do, don’t hesitate—take the plunge right away so you won’t have any regrets.” I highly recommend this school not only to students aiming to continue their education but also to those seeking employment in Japan. The faculty members have extensive knowledge about the job-hunting process, and I personally received a great deal of advice through resume reviews and mock interviews, which helped me overcome my anxieties one by one.To those currently considering studying abroad in Japan: Regardless of your age, nationality, or future goals, if you are serious about learning Japanese and want to experience life in Japan, I wholeheartedly recommend Japanese Language School Affiliated with Tokyo International University.
