Students' Impressions

About the events (Autumn Festival)

・Taiwan (Female)

For the Autumn Festival, with the co-operation of my friends, I provided more than 100 cups of bubble tea. It was incredibly busy and difficult but working with my friends from other countries towards this same goal, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. Being able to see a different side to them than just in the classroom, our friendship grew so much deeper than before.

About the university entrance instruction

・Taiwan (Male)

At ABK, they have prepared all the university documents perfectly, so you can look at whichever school you’re interested in at any time. And the teachers wholeheartedly support each individual student in regards to preparing for university. My teacher had a wealth of knowledge and experience about the exams, so I was able to get a lot of great advice.

About the classes

・Korea (Female)

I think the biggest difference between the ABK Japanese Course and other Japanese language schools is that the classes are full-time. With Japanese classes from 9:00 to 14:25 and basic classes from 14:35 to 16:15, I am able to study intensively. I heard from a friend whose classes ended early that he used his free time to work part-time, but the danger with that is that study may be put off. The preparation period for entering university is so short, so being able to concentrate on my studies in this environment was a great help to me.

About student life and classes

・Malaysia (Male)

When I had just enrolled, and when I still knew nothing about life in Japan, my teacher and the office staff asked me: “How are you finding life in Japan?” and “Are you having any difficulties?” Since they were concerned about me, I was able to consult with them immediately when issues arose. As regards study, there was a large amount of homework, and the classes and tests were quite tough but when I graduated I found that the Japanese ability I had learned stuck with me. I’m really glad that I studied at ABK.
