The voice of foreign students-relating experiences-Foreign students talk about student life

I could pass the national examination of Information Processing of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (fundamental information technology engineer examination) a half year after entering the college!

  • My Japanese ability rapidly improved at the seminars

    Ms. Zhang Jia Min From: China From Meros Language School TOKYO IT&ACCOUNTING COLLEGE IT Business Course Zhang Jia Min Ms. Zhang Jia Min
    I was surprised that I could pass the fundamental information technology engineer examination, which is a national exam, within such a short period of a half a year after entering the college. When I entered Risshisha, Japanese was difficult, and I had a hard time listening to what the teachers explained, and having discussions with classmates. I think that I could pass the examination because my Japanese ability improved by the study environment with Japanese students, instead of a class only made up of foreign students, and the learning method at the seminar. From now, I will try hard to make two more of my dreams come true- passing the applied information technology engineer exam and finding a job in a listed company in Japan.

  • I could reach my goal by learning at the seminars

    Mr. Zhang Wei From: China From Japan-China Language Academy OSAKA IT&ACCOUNTING COLLEGE IT Business Course Zhang Wei Mr. Zhang Wei
    I have been enjoying student life everyday for a year now. I feel that all the classes have an good study atmosphere, and nice teachers. I think that learning at the seminars is an effective studying method. All of us classmates think and discuss together, so even difficult problems can be solved quickly. I could make score well on every test. My goal was passing the fundamental information technology engineer examination. I could solve the problems with my classmates and under the guidance of the teachers. I could gain confidence, and could pass the examination within 6 months after entering the college. I am very happy. I will continue to work towards my next goal.
