My Japanese has improved a lot since I came here the first time I arrived in Japan I couldn't understand
anything and I couldn't say much either now I would say I'm pretty confident in my Japanese.
I'm studying in entry classes right now and I can say that all the grammar that I've studied so far.
I have mastered so I'm looking forward to learning more
so the biggest difference about studying
in Japan versus in your home country is really the immersion aspect so when you're studying at
home even if you have Japanese teachers once the lesson's over you're not really using it
whereas when you're studying in Japan you can take what you've learned and straight away you know
in daily life you can use it all the time so that makes it easier to get better at your Japanese.
Toyo Language School was founded in 1988 and has a history of more than 30 years
and we have had 5,500 graduates so far.
With a capacity of 720 students, it is a place where students from over 30 countries and regions gather together to study.
One thing I enjoy a lot about this school is that all the students come from many different
countries in the world so we can learn a lot about the word just by having a conversation with
each other another thing that I like a lot is the elective classes on Fridays because we can
choose like different topics to help us like improve our points in Japanese that we want to improve.
My favorite class were the elective classes where we each week we chose a
theme and then we got to talk with Japanese people about that theme, it was a really nice experience
to kind of meet Japanese people and get to know their experiences and also kind of helped
you with realizing what your Japanese ability was because sometimes you can get in that headspace
of like you feel like you don't know that much but when you're in that opportunity where it's
just open speech you realize oh actually I can do some Japanese so yeah that class was was very good.
The special thing about our school is that we don't develop grammar knowledge or reading skills one by one
In order to use the skills (grammar and reading skills), we have a variety of different "tasks", and the goal of these tasks are so that students can actually use these skills.
For this purpose, we use our own developed texts and handouts at Toyo Language School.
The learning order that is currently implemented at Toyo is the best method that has been developed over the last decade
so we encourage you to study using our new method.
I chose TLS in particular because they have a really good student support system so
that was really important to me studying in another country it was nice to know that there was
a system in place to help you with settling in and any problems you have they've helped me
through paperwork since I have some health issues it's really helpful to be able to go to a doctor
whenever I need to. Sometimes it's really difficult, Japanese paperwork when you don't know the kanji
or the information it's really nice to have someone helping you.
The area of the school is in Kasai so it's although it is technically part of Tokyo it feels almost like a really big town so
there's lots of greenery it's a very convenient area to live in I would recommend TLS to others.
I think it's a very good school if you are coming to Japan for the
first time also the school is just very good with their flexibility and
you can really tailor-mate the course to fit your goals so yes.
When you start something with a set goal, it always comes with growth.
Toyo Language School can definitely support your development, and help you achieve your goals.
Hope to see you in Japan!
