SNG allowed me to improve my speaking and grammar skills
so I can communicate clearly and regularly with Japanese people
One of the biggest features of Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute is the “Ezoe teaching method”
It was created by our school principal
for foreigners to understand and learn Japanese in the easiest way possible
Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute uses “Juubako card”
so you can learn Japanese by watching the cards, so it's not only for foreigners
but it can also be used to teach Japanese for people who are hearing impaired,
and that is one of the biggest reasons I decided to work here.
As soon as classes are over I take a look at the video about the day's lessons
So I keep it fresh in my mind
and it's easier for me to remember it
Using artificial reality technology you are able to see videos of what you are learning or
reading on your text book.
So before coming to class students can practice and study at home
by watching the video from the textbook
The videos are usually about 10 minutes long
and students can have a review of what they are going to study in class before going to school
One of the biggest features of Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute is
that the material used for teaching can be easy to see and understand
Compared to other schools we have plenty of nationalities
and even though you can hear so many languages in the hallways
the students are always trying their best to practice and communicate in Japanese
So the classes are conducted all in Japanese
Learning what things mean and how things work in Japanese
pushes us to think in Japanese rather than in our native language
We are provided with a lot of resources that help with memorizing
There's a color code, teachers make us repeat enough times
that's something I really like because it enables us to learn more by ourselves
The school provides us with an app that allows us to pick words and verbs from a conversation
So when I want to understand what was said or how to use a word, I go to the app
I check if it's an adjective, a verb and how to use it in a sentence
Most of the students are aiming for higher education such as University and Vocational schools after graduating
or they also try to find employment
So we also help our students with any support they might need
This area, where our school is, is called Takadanobaba
It is famous for having “Waseda University”
but it is also famous for being a students' area
You can find a lot of restaurants and shops that have good prices and
it's a good and very handy place to live
There are also convenience stores so it is a very comfortable place to live for foreign students.
Now I can have daily conversations with the person who works next to me
When I got here I was having a hard time making proper sentences, I was using key words
Now I manage to make better sentences and to make myself clear. I understand a lot better too
I think the school offers a lot of great extra curricular activities
There's a Fuji trip, which I'll be going on soon
It goes to a lot of famous sightseeing places around Mount Fuji
and there is the Okutama hike and barbecue which was fun
It's a hike by the river up in the mountains and it ends with a big barbecue
Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute has a unique teaching method that you can use to study Japanese.
And not only studying, but we also have plenty of events
If it's the first time you are coming to Japan, don't worry
We can support many languages
And our staff will give their best together with the teachers,
Let's study Japanese in Japan!
We will be waiting for you at Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute!
