Our CRAZY Japanese Language School Experiences || ISI vs Akamonkai Q&A (ft. My Sister)
Рет қаралды 16,738
Күн бұрынI finally got a chance to sit down with my sister, Neema and discuss our different experiences at Japanese Language school. Neema went to a language school in Takadanobaba called ISI Japanese Language School and I went to Akamonkai Japanese Language School in Nippori. I studied completely in person and she studied online so we have completely different Language school experiences. Hopefully this video will be educational for all of you that are planning to go to Language school here in Japan some time soon!
Shout out to Anna for asking me these great questions on Instagram!

This was so great thanks! I was actually looking into ISI in Kyoto and tbh was a little worried it might not be intensive enough, sounds like that might be their model in general. Will prob still apply as a backup though. Looks like an awesome channel btw, I hope you're having an amazing time in Italy!!

please for anyone applying to these schools, avoid gogonihon. you're better off applying to the school directly, gogonihon takes too long to respond to an email, for me normally it took a week to get a response from them, sometimes even 2 weeks, it was a terrible experience for me. when they finally took me to the application process I decided to drop out and connect with my school (ISI) directly and it was so much easier, an email from ISI was normally a fews hours or at most a day later. also I learned from reading Reddit posts that schools tend to not assist you if something goes wrong because you applied to their school through gogonihon and not them, so you have to rely on gogonihon to assist you while in Japan which is troublesome because they take a hundred years to respond to an email.

welp I already paid everything now I didn't have such a horrible experience though, they applied for my school visa and it was way less stressful that way. But once you are in their system they don't take too long to reply

I would like to hear your opinions on this little problem that has been going around in my head for a few months now. I need 15k € to pay for language school in Japan. Right now I am doing an Internship at a company that told me would be interested in hiring me at the end of the internship ( September ). One year with this job would be enough for me to reach the 15k goal. However, I hate this job and it leaves me practically no free time. Since I would like to leave for Japan in a condition where I can understand something and have simple conversations, I need time to study it ( which this job does not give me ). So my dilemma is: Do I look for another job, maybe part-time so that I have more time to study, although it will take longer to collect the money. Or do I endure a year of work here and then study a bit before leaving ?

She came in December of 2020 when the Japanese borders opened up for about a month. Hopefully the borders will open up again soon! 🙏✨

Ho guys! It was very informative. Do you have like a placement test in ISI before starting the course?
@TheMusiclover133 Жыл бұрын
after attending were you able to pass the JLPT N2? Were you able to find work in Japan after and extend your visa or did you have to return home after language school? What were housing costs? dormitories don't seem that great of a fit.
@xporkrind 10 ай бұрын
Is there any way to get a student visa to study Japanese for more than 2 years. Or to apply to extend the visa beyond two years? Or do you need to apply for a different kind of visa at that point ???

Interesting vid~ I’m trying to save up to go to language school next July, but that’s the one thing I’m worried about: that borders will still be closed. And I HATE online classes 😂 can’t do it haha. Plus if I’m paying all that money, I want to actually be in Japan getting the full experience, y’know? XD
@volf7f8 2 жыл бұрын
I applied for July on ISI, I am looking foward to it but as you said, I am afraid of taking online classes... Where do you get your news from? I would like to be informed and up to the latest news but I can't find a reliable source to know when they will open borders.

Hey I don't know i am going to get answers. Just wanted to ask i am also going for ISI the difference is i will be going for N2 & N1. I just want to ask simple question is it worth it because i want to get N1 level + Speaking + experience Japan too that's why i choose to go to Langauge School than pursuing MA in Japanese in my Home Country. Plus, look ahead for Opportunities in life. What is your take as an experience person in Japan.

How are the classes conducted? Do you listen to dialogs and stories? Do you get practice making conversation? What percentage of the class is conducted in Japanese? Do you read dialogs and stories and does the teacher ask you questions to test your understanding?
