Hi everyone! My name is Chris with gogonihon.com and today we're in front of-
-
- ISI Language School, located near Waseda University. So we think this is a great place to study.
-
Come on, let's take a look.
-
"Koppu" or "Kappu" (cup), either way is fine. "The cup is dirty".
-
"The cup is dirty".
-
- And what about this? - The clothes...
-
Right. "The clothes are dirty".
-
I really like the teachers in this school, cause they're all so nice and really helpful, so-
-
- they always help you out and the lessons are interesting, too.
-
But, that might be because I really wanted to study Japanese, so I really like everything.
-
Including the General Japanese Course, there are 8 different courses.
-
The University and College Preparation Course, for students that want to enter a Japanese university.
-
Graduate School Preparation Course,
-
Top University Preparation Course, for people that want to enter the most prestigious universities in Japan.
-
And also the Conversation Course. Those are the main courses.
-
So today was the orientation, and they showed us-
-
-where we needed to go if we needed money, like the post office, which is really near.
-
And cheap places to get lunch and stuff like that.
-
We've seen everything, so. It was really good orientation.
-
What do you think is the strong point of this school?
-
Everything. I'm extremely satisfied.
-
I love life in Japan and I had a chance to come to here, so I took it.
-
Always if wanna know something, they always give you the information.
-
They even print out maps from the internet to you. They're very helpful.
-
On the day of the Welcome Party, we gather all the students together in the afternoon,
-
-then everyone writes their name and country, stick it on their shirt,
-
- so they can interact with the other new students.
-
We get visits from ambitious Japanese university students-
-
- so the language students get to exchange with Japanese students around their own age.
-
Part-time jobs is kind of a crucial issue for international students.
-
We give descriptions of jobs to students, and tell them to apply for the jobs they're interested in.
-
Very close to the school, there is a lot of restaurants, shops and the station is really close.
-
It's like, 2 minutes walking.
-
For example, the Business Course contains things that you need for doing business in Japan, but-
-
-also things that are applicable and usable in the student's own countries.
-
The Employment Course is strictly focused on making students able to find a full-time job inside Japan.
-
When I'm done with my studies here, I think I want to go straight to a vocational school or find work.
-
Later on, my purpose is to enter university in Japan.
-
And when I've graduated I want to work as an English teacher in Japan.
-
Japan is not only about the Japanese language. It's a country with a lot of fun and interesting culture.
-
Please come to study and experience many wonderful things in Japan with us at ISI.
