Hello everyone. My name is Zenbun. I’m from Shanghai. I came to Japan from Shanghai in October 2015. I am currently studying at Toa International Institute of Foreign Languages. I have been studying in East Asia for a year. The school is very beautiful, the teacher is kind, and the friend of the school is very interesting. On my days off, I enjoy shopping and watching movies with my friends. I gained more confidence by continuing to study Japanese. I want to study happily in Toa from now on.

When I came to Japan, I was filled with anxiety. Japan is a place I don’t know very well, I don’t understand so many languages, I’m in trouble. However, the Japanese people are very kind to me, not only teaching english, but also teaching me a lot about Japanese life. From the day I arrived in Japan, the teacher showed me around the supermarket and asked me to do Passmo to help with all the immigration procedures, from being really slim to the details, and I took care of me. In less than a week, I made friends from different countries, and if I had time, I would love to compare my cooking skills. Looking back now, my first self thought too much.

When I first came to East Asia, I had the impression that laughter was always going on. Teachers and students are like friends. It’s safe for my first time studying abroad. At present, in East Asia, I am a senior, so I try to help junior students as much as possible. My goal is to continue my studies in graduate school.

Hello, everyone. My name is Dejan Subota, and I’m from Croatia. I’m 37 years old and came to Japan with my family in November 2014. Last year, I worked at Midori Clinic and Honda Heat. Since my Japanese isn’t very good, I faced various difficulties at work, so I decided to attend a Japanese language school. After doing some research, I chose Toa International Language Academy. The teachers at Toa are very kind and supportive. I think I made a good choice. I hope to see you all at Toa!

I’m Mal Shadiniti. I came to Japan last October. Life in Japan is very interesting, but there are many difficulties when living in Japan, because I am an international student. By far the most impressive thing is that Japan’s rules are very strict. At school, teachers teach school rules every day, as well as Japanese rules. In the future, if you find a job in Japan, you must abide by the company’s rules. It’s hard to learn Japanese, but I hope to learn it well at school and speak more.

I was accepted to the Waseda Graduate School of Creative Science and Engineering in August 2020. The learning environment in Toa is very good, and the teachers gave me guidance on going on to higher education, so I am really glad that I came to Toa.

I’m came to Japan for work, so I couldn’t speak any Japanese when I first arrived. Since Toa International Language School is nearby, I started studying Japanese here. After one year, my Japanese is now good enough for everyday life. Toa offers not only Japanese classes but also various events. I was very active in the 2020 cultural festival! The video is on Toa’s YouTube channel, so please check it out!

I’m from Senegal, and I’m 17 years old. I came here with my family, so I don’t understand Japanese very well yet. Coming to Toa has given me the chance to study Japanese and make friends. I really love everyone here at Toa!

This year, I was accepted to Ochanomizu University! I first came to Toa for a short-term exchange in 2018, and since I thought it was a great school, I decided to continue with a long-term exchange at Toa. The school is located in a very quiet area, which makes it easy to focus on studying. Toa is also close to Tokyo, so it’s very convenient to go and have fun in the city. Everyone, come to Toa and be my junior!
