  • Teacher: Would you like... Student: Would you like some juice?

  • Student: Thank...thank you very much. Teacher: That's right.

  • Yeah, the school, like, conveys the language to you in a very good way.

  • It encourages you to go on and study.

  • The teachers are very kind and gentle people.

  • I've gotten so much help with things like, finding a job, everyday stuff, and more.

  • I love kind teachers.

  • Fukuoka is a very graceful and beautiful city.

  • I love the ramen.

  • About two years ago, my cousin studied here.

  • My cousin said that Fukuoka was a fantastic city, so I thought I'd like to go there as well.

  • This school has a lot of different classes.

  • Do you want to prepare for graduate school? Study Japanese? Study English? Study math?

  • There is something for everyone.

  • The difference from other schools is that at our school-

  • -you can receive an associate's degree after just two years.

  • The associate's degree type from this school is "Culture and General Education", which means

  • ...if you've only finished high school, it can be difficult to find full-time employment, but if you have-

  • -an associate's degree, you meet the minimum legal requirements to find employment.

  • I also work with only Japanese around me, the school helped me to find a job.

  • First, when I arrived here, I went to an interview with the-

  • -part-time job department and after three months, I got an answer and, yeah, was immediately employed.

  • So, in Fukuoka it's not so difficult to get a job.

  • You don't need to speak so much Japanese, especially like for easy work-

  • -making bentos (lunch boxes), you know, like packing - for that you don't need such a high level of Japanese.

  • It's fun! The teachers have a lot of kindness and my friends come from many different countries.

  • It's an international environment, which makes it very interesting.

  • First, we have over 60-70 Japanese students,-

  • -and maybe around 300 overseas students studying Japanese here.

  • We have a welcome event, the first day overseas students come to Fukuoka, Japanese students welcome them.

  • Then also we have an excursion, so we go together to the beach,-

  • -or maybe on a picnic. Comparing to Tokyo, this is an easy-living place. The living cost is cheap.

  • We all welcome you to come to Fukuoka Foreign Language College to study.

  • Everyone, we'll be waiting and we look forward to meeting you.

Teacher: Would you like... Student: Would you like some juice?
