Choosing Daiwa was my best choice ever, I was so lucky to have done that.
Let's begin! 6 questions with Daiwa students
Q1. What do you think are some of the strong points of this school?
All the teachers at Daiwa are so cool.
Every lesson is fun and useful.
One of the features of Daiwa is that they offer various classes.
For example, grammar, vocabulary, reading.
We can learn them from different contexts.
Teachers are all kind and explain things clearly at class.
The class environment is good - students help each other.
Q2. Did you have any difficulties living in Japan, and how has the school helped?
I found it difficult at the beginning since everything was different to my country, Russia
but the school helped me a lot
for example, buying SIM card, opening a bank account etc.
People at Daiwa are helpful
for example when I received a letter from the city office, they translated it for me.
They gave me the Hanko (persona seal), and helped me out opening a bank account.
Q3. How did the school prepare you for the JLPT exams?
When I first challenged N3, I failed, but I made it on the second try - then I passed N2 later,
as they explained things clearly.
I did lots of mock test and finally made it in the end.
Having knowledge about JLPT is important to have but how we study is also very important.
We studied with lots of mock test, and that was really helpful.
The material we had used at the class was close to the actual JLPT test, so
I was already used to JLPT text when I actually took it.
Q4. What is the most difficult class?
I first thought reading class was difficult but as studying it with the teachers, I felt it was much easier.
For me vocabulary is the most difficult part since there are so many Kanji and they look very similar.
The most difficult class is reading class.
Of course it depends on the person but I saw many words in the sentences I didn't know so I was confused.
Q5. What is your favourite class and why?
My favourite class is listening and essay class since I Iove listening to Japanese.
For the essay class, we have to write our idea in Japanese, so I found it difficult for the first time but it became fun after all.
The most favourite class is "Media Listening".
The reason is that the words taught at Media Listening Japanese are used in news or newspaper, which we see every day and is useful.
Q6. Any advice for people learning Japanese?
The most important thing is to use what we learn in class, otherwise, we will soon forget.
So use it! Talk with your friends in Japanese.
First you need to find your weakness and work on that.
If you are eager to learn, you will be able to gain.
To everyone who wish to learn Japanese,
come study Japanese.
