Student Voices

REN JINLONG (From China, Tokyo City University, Environmental Management and Sustainability)

I really enjoyed my two years at Westcoast Language School. I am extremely grateful to Westcoast Language School for giving me so many opportunities to meet many different people. It was fantastic to experience not only Japanese culture but the cultures of different countries as well. I will never forget all the events and volunteer activities besides my study here. I managed to gain an entry to the university I wanted to study at thanks to the scholarship program. I believe the two years here really helped me grow.

THIRI NAING (Myanmar, Chiyoda Sushi Co., Ltd.)

Westcoast Language School was the first school I studied at in Japan. I was just 19 years old back then, and the teachers taught me not just the Japanese language but the cultures and rules I needed to know for life in Japan as well. After graduation, I studied at a graduate school of Musashino University before getting a job at Chiyoda Sushi Co., Ltd. where I am responsible for teaching new employees about Japan, Japanese society and how to work in Japan. I believe that what I have learned at Westcoast Language School formed the bases of my current job. I am so glad that I had chosen Westcoast Language School as the destination for my study in Japan.

DO THANH NAM (Vietnam, Shinjuku College of Information Technology, Information Business Studies)

I came to Japan just after I graduated from high school. I was so worried when I arrived, but I was able to adjust to the life in Japan quickly thanks to the dedicated help and support I received from the teachers and staff members. For the preparation of my further study, they helped me fill out application forms and practice interviews. Because of this support, I managed to gain an entry to the school where I am now thoroughly enjoying the experience. I would recommend studying at Westcoast Language School to those who are thinking about studying in Japan.

LEI LEI KHINE (Myanmar, BeNEXT Solutions, Inc.)

For me, Westcoast Language School is my home school. Teachers taught us not only Japanese language but also Japanese culture and customs so we would not have problems living in Japan. The teachers and staff members are so kind and caring and treated us like their children. I got into Iwasaki Gakuen and received scholarship thanks to the counseling support. Iwasaki Gakuen provides classes and support directly related to getting an employment. My current job is in developing software for automobiles and I am continuing to work hard for my future.

NGUYEN TRONG TOAN (Vietnam, Daiichi Institute of Technology, Electronics and Informatics)

The classes at Westcoast Language School are fun and helped me improve my Japanese language communication skills. They also helped me study for JLPT and I was able to pass N2. The Culture Festival at the school was very memorable and I experienced and learned about different cultures of many countries. Because it is not a big school, the teachers and staff members are able to provide individual support to each and every one of the students, which helped me gain entry to the university I study at now. Thank you very much.

CUI HUA (China, Rikkyo University Graduate School of Business Administration)

I was lucky to be able to start my study in Japan at Westcoast Language School. Thanks to the teachers, during the 2 years of my study there, I developed my Japanese language ability and gained confidence to live independently in any environment. I will complete my graduate study next year and work in an education industry. I am so grateful to Westcoast Language School and the teachers and staff members there for educating me to establish the bases for my career.

LE HOAN (Vietnam, VJ Connects Co., Ltd., President)

It has been 10 years since I graduated from Westcoast Language School, but it still feels like home with teachers and staff members welcoming me the same way they did while I was still a student. They taught me Japanese and gave me support for my further study right after I entered the school. Thanks to that support, I went to university, got a job and now I have established my own company to become a bridge between Japan and Vietnam.
