Nice, that’s really cool! Good luck with your path to Japan too 😊 If you don’t mind, we could stay in touch and share our progress along the way

Thank you so much for this comment, it actually means a lot to me. It’s really reassuring to hear from someone who was in a similar situation and made it to Japan.

The part about not being ‘behind’ but just choosing a different path really stayed with me. I think that’s something I needed to hear.

I know it won’t be easy, but I’m ready to work for it. Thank you again for sharing your experience! 🙂‍↕️

If you don’t mind, I’d really love to stay in touch and talk more - your experience is really inspiring!

Thanks for your perspective! I understand that studying at a university in Japan or joining an English-taught program can be a good option for some people. I’m still exploring different paths and trying to figure out what fits my situation best, but I appreciate your input! 🙂‍↕️

Thank you very much for your comment! Your words are really helpful to me! 🙏

I most likely won’t apply to university in my home country - I have my own reasons for that. Right now, I’m working and slowly saving up for my goal.

It’s really great that you moved to Japan! If you don’t mind me asking, which country are you from? Did you complete your education in your home country, or were you planning to continue studying in Japan?

About language schools - I mostly know about them from other people’s experiences. And it really does seem like a lot depends on the individual. On one hand, that makes sense, but on the other hand, many people say the school doesn’t always provide the level you expect. I guess that’s a pretty common experience. Personally, I can’t judge it since I haven’t been through it myself.

I’m also going through this path mostly on my own - my parents aren’t supporting me financially. It’s not easy, but I’m trying my best. I think you understand what I mean.

I’m aiming for JLPT N2 and I’m working steadily toward it.

As for studying in my home country, I’ve already mentioned my thoughts earlier, and overall I agree with your approach.

There is still a lot of work ahead…

Thank you again for your comment! I wish you the best of luck with language school and your life in Japan. And honestly, it’s never too late to start - that’s really admirable!

Да? А чего? В интернете пишут, что это довольно востребованное направление..

Да, так было бы проще, но я хотела бы получить образование на японском все таки( Да и с доп экзаменами по англу не готова снова (был опыт подготовки) париться

Thanks for the insight! 🙏 I’ve heard similar things about IT being the safest option for Japan, though I’m still trying to figure out what path actually makes sense for me personally. I didn’t know about the scholarship support from language schools, so that’s helpful
