Quote from the NICHIBEI JLI official facebook

“When I first came to Nichibei, I was worried about my Japanese ability. But in lessons I practice daily conversation and business conversation, talk about my own work and more, so I have gradually become able to speak Japanese better than before. In order to master a foreign language, a good study environment is absolutely necessary. Nichibei seems really good, doesn’t it? I have learned a lot of different things from my teachers. In the future, I want to continue studying Japanese.”
This is what Mr. Huang told us. At the end of the month he is returning home to his own country, but we hope that he continues to work hard in Beijing!

Before coming to Japan, Mirjam had studied a foreign language, but it was completely different from Japanese, so at first she seemed to be quite perplexed. She told us that as she got used to Japanese she began to understand more and more, and studying became really fun for her.
This year starting in October and continuing for four years, she will use the Japanese that she learned to conduct a variety of activities at churches in Koiwa, Ichigaya, and Ikebukuro, and she will visit the homes of the elderly and talk with them.
In fact, the other day Mirjam participated in The Japan Times’ Study Abroad Symposium as a representative of NICHIBEI JLI. You can read about the symposium on The Japan Times’ website and on Facebook.

QWhy did you apply for NICHIBEI ?

I came to Tokyo for a 6-month internship in a Japanese company. I'd had a few classes before, but I realy only knew the bare minimum, so my company applied for me so that I could learn Japanese over the course of this internship.

QHow do you think about this school ?

3 month later, I'm already able to have casual conversations with my coworkers. And I owe that to Nichibei JLI. The teaching program is really on point and provided me with usefull vocabulary and grammar I could easily pratice on my co-workers after class. The teachers are also very capable and very professional. They make sure no one is left behind while still moving forward at a very respectable pace. The fact that there is so much diversity among students also makes for a very interesting learning environment and provides a good opportunity to make friends !

QPlease let us know the plan(s) after learning Japanese at NICHIBEI.

In 3 months, I will go back to France and continue learning Japanese there until I graduate from college. After that, I might consider working in Japan.

QWhy did you apply for NICHIBEI ?

I’ve lived in Japan before, and although I’d learned some Japanese, I wasn’t really able to use it. I’d looked at a few jobs in Tokyo, and all of them required Japanese language ability. My wife had been to Nichibei a few years ago and recommended it because not only do they focus on Business Japanese, but it’s also a conversation school, which was perfect for my language goals.

QHow do you think about this school ?

The school is great. The class sizes are just right, big enough to have different people to practice with, and small enough to ensure I get enough attention from the teachers. My class is taught by three teachers on different days, which gives us some variety, and the classes run from 9am to 12:20pm, which means I can do my homework in the afternoons and pick my kid up from school. The class format works really well. A typical day may involve learning kanji, being quizzed on different verb types, learning new grammar patterns, and lots of Japanese conversation practice, either read from the course book or through one-on-one conversation between myself and another student. The time flies by really quickly, and I am very happy with how quickly my Japanese has improved. People who knew me when I first arrived in Japan are very surprised by how my Japanese conversation has improved in just a few months.

QPlease let us know the plan(s) after learning Japanese at NICHIBEI.

At the moment, I’m focusing on the course. I would love to carry on at the school, as I know I would continue to improve by leaps and bounds, but I need to find a job, so that will be my focus after the course is over.

QWhy did you apply for NICHIBEI ?

I wanted to improve my Japanese so that I could communicate better at work. My colleague-who could not speak a word of Japanese when they arrived in Japan-highly recommended NICHIBEI where after two years of classes, they became able to speak at a native level.

QHow do you think about this school ?

What I like most is the attention that the teachers give to the students. From my experience, the teachers have been very patient, helpful and professional during and after classes. Taking each student's ability into account, the classes are well paced, relevant to daily life, and teachers are helpful when correcting Japanese grammar as well as giving advice on cultural nuances. The classes are vibrant, engaging, and are made more interesting by having classmates from different parts of the world.

QPlease let us know the plan(s) after learning Japanese at NICHIBEI.

By studying Japanese, I would like to expand my career choices as well as use it in my daily life.

QWhy did you apply for NICHIBEI ?

I work at an electronics company as a purchaser. I often work with many Japanese companies, so I need Japanese speaking skills. That is the reason why I study in Japan. I asked people who studied in Japan, and they introduced me to Nichibei Kaiwa Gakuin. They told me that the school has a good curriculum and good teachers, so I decided to study here.

QHow do you think about this school ?

From March this year, I started studying Japanese at Nichibei. I was surprised because the business language courses and teachers were even better than I had heard. They did their best to improve my Japanese ability, and my Japanese ablity is increasing day by day. I am satisfied with their help, and I am doing my best to improve my Japanese skills at Nichibei.

QPlease let us know the plan(s) after learning Japanese at NICHIBEI.

I will return to my country in March next year, and I will do a lot of work with Japan partner companies. I think studying Japanese here at Nichibei is very helpful for me and my career.

Afterwards, she entered a business vocational school in Tokyo. She couldn’t speak Japanese at all when she first came to Japan but after she studied with us, she passed the JLPT N1 exam, and now she is working in sales at a car parts company in Tainan, Taiwan. This company provides Japanese clients with the plastic parts for cars made in Taiwan, and Marilyn uses Japanese at work every day, conveying client requests to each company office and preparing documents.
