I decided to study in Japan in order to enter a graduate school. When I researched about graduate schools at National universities, I found that the graduate school of Nagoya University screened applicants for enrollment in Autumn Semester. So I aimed to enroll the graduate school of Nagoya University and came to Nagoya.
Four months after my enrollment, I started to prepare and apply for the graduate school. But I didn’t know what I should do. However I was taught how to write research plans and how to have an interview with professors at Nagoya University. After that I was ready and prepared. Although my time at ECC was short, it was very useful for me.
I’m thankful for the teachers who helped me able to enroll at the graduate school of Nagoya University. Special thanks to Ms. Sakakibara, Ms. Nishikawa and Ms. Yuki.

I am YANG SHENGJIE from China Shanghai. I studied at the ECC Japanese Language Institute in Nagoya from April in 2008 until early 2010,and I have been studying at Waseda University since April 2010.
When I first came to Japan, I was so worried and hesitant at times. After enrolling ECC, you might think "Japanese is so difficult", and "Studying Japanese at ECC is very serious". But if you trust yourself and believe in your teachers at ECC, I think you will realize this is the best way to reach your goal. Even though I only knew how to introduce myself when I first came to Japan, I was able to enter Waseda University. So now I really appreciate what the teachers at ECC have done for me.
Even though studying at Waseda University is somewhat difficult at times, University life has become easier with the support of my Japanese friends.

When I was in Taiwan, I heard that the rate of students receiving higher education in Japan was high, and that ECC was one of the country’s most famous language institutes. So I decided to enroll at ECC. Studying there was somewhat strenuous, but I learned a lot! The teachers were kind and I had a lot of fun enjoying the student life. Nagoya is a wonderful city, although it is big . I didn’t have any family in Japan, so I had to do everything by myself. However, I succeeded and even took a cooking class by myself! I am currently studying international hospitality at International collage of tourism in Nagoya. I enjoy my studying in this field very much; I have taken classes in restaurant services and even a class on wine. I like communicating with people and hope that in the future I can get a job in Japan. I have some advice about studying in a foreign country. You may be nervous to take the first step and go, but there are many fun things waiting for you there. So go, you won’t regret it!
