I Tried Japanese Language School for a Day in Tokyo

Japanese language schools are one of the most popular pathways into Japan. I spend a day in the classroom and try not to make a fool of myself.
**Due to the ongoing situation, travelling to Japan to study is difficult right now. HOWEVER the good news is Go! Go! Nihon has created a fantastic Japanese language course online. With an intensive 3 week course or an extensive 12 week course, you can get a taste of the courses for free at the below links!**

Notification Squad: Well guys, I hope you enjoyed watching me make an absolute idiot of myself. I’ve decided my new goal in life is to be able to read Harry Potter in Japanese - it’s the dream I never knew I wanted. As I said at the end, the whole experience reignited my passion for learning Japanese - a passion that’s been replaced by studying filmmaking over the last 2-3 years instead. I’m considering taking JLPT1 (N1) next year though, in which case, I’d better hurry up and get studying.
A huge thanks to the five students who opened up about their experiences studying at a Japanese language school and a big thanks to Go! Go! Nihon for getting us access inside to film!
Definitely check them out if you’ve ever thought about trying a Japanese language school - you never know where it may lead!

chris joining the beginner class to show off his japanese during his introduction, what a chris thing to do

[nanakitano]

I hate self-introductions, my brain shuts off and I forget any sort of normal language

[efwea]

imagine you're just taking a course trying to learn japanese and one day this british guy walks in with a camera crew like he owns the place, stays for a few days, flexes his japanese on you, and leaves

Don't pick me, don't pick me, don't pick me, don't pick me. Teacher picks you. That never fails.

"I eat cow tongue every week"
"It's quite expensive"
Not a flex at all

I truly believe that first teacher is incredible. She's so engaging, plays off of what Chris says to bring the other students in, ask questions about their understanding and make them respond in Japanese. And from the laughter, you can tell how everyone feels welcome to try and engage in communication, even if they can't quite speak yet, and they can all feel that little bit of discomfort together in a safe space. Such a great environment to learn.

hahahaha The teacher... "Who should read this next?"
EVERYONE: CHRIS SAN

[__-ixlh]

Chris: I'm gonna end this class whole career showing off my Japanese skill.

Whole class: *reverse uno card*

[carstensing]

I like how Chris slowly became more sinister during his reading and had to restrain himself so that the class wouldn't think he was a complete weirdo

[saldan]

Chris : Was an English teacher for Japanese students

Also Chris : *Be Nervous at introducing himself*

[muhammadalfatih]

*it was the perfect self-introduction*








*except that I forgot to say my name*

[PersonManManManMan]

Cris just casually flexing his Japanese onto other Japanese students

Minutes in he gets bullied by receiving all the questions on himself

I love how everyone had this silent agreement that they'd pick on Chris lol

Chris : "I've been very clever, I've chosen the beginner class, hopefully I can look like the best kid"
also chris : "I've forgotten to say my name.."
