"I didn't go to school a lot"

Franjo Bendeich, siswa dari Jerman

There will be not an astonishing amount of detail to spare, I was at school like three times. Had walls, a ceiling, restrooms, the teachers looked friendly and were smiling, yet I didn't understand a single word, so there's that. The housing was great.

"Great teachers, modern school and good educational program."

India Bondarenko, siswa dari Polandia

My experience at ISI was very good. The teachers were kind and patient. They were happy to help if I had a problem in class. The school was modern and in a nice location. ISI also gave us free books which I still use for studying after coming back home. The housing was clean and the room was nice but a little bit small. While living there I met a lot of new people with whom I made really good memories. Overall, I would recommend ISI to anybody who wishes to experience Japan and learn Japanese language.

"Interesting classes in a stimulating setting. Great teachers!"

Alberto Carignano, siswa dari Itali

From the first day, I thought the class was the right level for me: I was placed in a class that challenged me without leaving me behind. The teachers made sure the content was interesting and that we students would not get lost during class. I particularly enjoyed the care they put into enunciating the words clearly and speaking at a speed that was accessible for me.
The facilities were good and in a nice and accessible area of Tokyo. The staff was overall friendly and always greeted me in the morning.
I didn't have a chance to attend after-school activities, nor I was living in housing provided by the school.
One thing that could be improved is providing clearer information on the ISI website. I was confused by the fact that I had both a gmail account from the school and a personal profile on the ISI website where I would receive important messages. I missed some messages because of that, and I almost missed my deadline to submit my end-of-class notice.

"A little disorganized, but overall a very positive experience."

Isme Quao, siswa dari Amerika Serikat

I really liked my teachers and my class. I felt like I learned a lot for only being there for a month and my teachers were all super nice and always willing to help. I also felt like the homework was helpful because I was able to remember the things we learned in class and also it didn’t feel like an overwhelming amount. I do wish the school campus was a little closer to the station. I was in the NB and the walk was always really hot with no shade. The school was also a little disorganized at times. Once I was counted absent on a day that I was present. Even though I had evidence I was there it took a while to get fixed. Overall I had a really positive experience.

"An overall immersive experience"

Hana Abdelsalam, siswa dari Emiriah Arab Bersatu

Overall it has been a valuable learning experience. However, I wish the school focused more on language immersion and real life practice. Furthermore, I found that the pace we moved with was too fast for my preference.

"Very interesting and enrichissant, great teacher and school, near famous places to visit, I recommend !"

Clara Frenee, siswa dari Perancis

The school was great, in a good emplacement where you can eat, go shopping and visit easily.
The teacher were so nice, very kind and helpful at every moment. They explain to you clearly if you didn't understand, and because the whole classes is in japanese, you make progress without noticing it !
I was in a group class where I knew some of the lessons we had, but this help me to remember and to improve them. The new lessons were very easy to learn because the rhythm to understand them was slow. I really improve my skills due to the everyday test, on different categories, which is something really good !
The homework were not that difficult, and it was easy to apply what we learn at school.
For the activities, I did anything with the school, but I visited Tokyo the morning to be at school at the right time. Because the school is near famous and useful station, it was easy to travel here and there.
For the housing, the family was lovely, very kind and always tried to help me improving my japanese. They share with me a lot of the Japanese culture, and the Japanese way of life.
The only thing I didn't really like was that I didn't have any documents for the beginning of the class and the hour to go. Hopefully, my family help me by calling the school and going at it.

"Normal"

Sarah Van Belle, siswa dari Belgia

Sometimes the teachers were quick, other times their teaching style was not really mine...
So much homework and tests, and too many questionnaires. The activities were not that interesting. The holidays very short.
The class infrastructure is in need of some upgrading as many desks broke down super easily. Also the desks and chairs were so low for taller people it was really a bother to sit on them. Bit chaotic at the time, and sometimes the people in the class were not on the same level which resulted in some slowing down or too fast speed. The JLPT announcement was too chaotic and I missed out on the option to take the test through the school, so I took it on my own, only to hear that the school could apply for you afterwards. This was a very annoying moment because I knew nothing of the sort, not how to ask the school, or when.

I did like some teachers their way of teaching, it was really nice, and I learned a lot from them. Bless those few good teachers. Also it was nice that some people at the front desk spoke English.

yeah, that is about it.

"Loved tokyo"

Débora Takeshita, siswa dari Perancis

I wish there were more levels. Sometimes it was too easy, when they teached us slowly the hiragana and katakana. Sole part of the class already knew the basics and the other part didn’t know anything at all. The majority of teachers didn’t know how to speak in English... that kinda wasted our time and they couldn’t explain well some terms for us.

I'm satisfied with teachers and their lessons. Time went so fast and classes were really interesting. The school is easy to find and arrive since it close from train station. You also can find many konbini, so you won't have any problem if you need something. Facilities are clean and in good condition.

"My only regret was that I could only stay for 3 weeks..."

Shannon Simpson, siswa dari Amerika Serikat

Everyone was absolutely amazing at ISI from the first email with Matthew, to the final goodbyes with my classmates and professors. I was the only American in my class and it really helped me immerse myself into the Japanese language without relying on any English. My classmates were all wonderful and I learned a lot from them too! Unfortunately, I was not financially able to stay for the full program like the other students, I only did a 3 week program. During my last week, we had a mini class trip to the Shinjuku Gardens to view the Cherry Blossoms. I will never forget that day. I became close to my classmates and my professor and I will always cherish that memory. After my 3 weeks was over, my classmates made me a farewell card and it really meant a lot to me. I really wish I could have stayed and finished the program with my new friends. :(

"Very efficient course"

Janita Vänskä, siswa dari England

The 3 hours of daily classes were packed with a lot of information. It was very efficient, and (almost) daily small tests made it easy to stay motivated to study and stay on track of your improvement. In just 5 weeks I felt like my skills improved a lot. There were optional classes to choose from, but unless you choose the discussion classes, there will not be many opportunities to practice your speaking skills. The location of the school (Ikebukuro branch) was very close to the station with a lot of connecting lines. The teachers were very helpful if you had any questions. However, the school was not very prepared for my arrival and I had to wait a couple of weeks to get my textbooks.

"It was nice to study there"

André Yudi Sato, siswa dari Brazil

School was very nice and well located, they have two buildings near Takadanobaba station. Their dorm room was VERY far from the school, it takes almost an hour to reach the school (most are not located inside Tokyo), but it's a good place to meet people and practice Japanese. If you plan to buy a bicycle the school have a parking lot for bicycles. Also, there is a small library and a cafeteria at the school. Classes and books are all in Japanese, so if you don't know anything about Japanese you might struggle a bit in the beginning, but gets easier once you get used to it. Teachers were very nice and if you don't understand something they will definitely help you. Classes had around 10-15 students, most students came from China. The staff at the reception desk speaks English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese, sometimes they can be a little rude. If you plan to stay for a long time the school have a few holidays so you can travel around Japan if you want to.

"Perfect"

Hyunki Christian Hong, siswa dari Amerika Serikat

The location was definitely superb; the staff was very professional. They were always eager to help students. The overall curriculum was more thorough than what I expected. It was very systemically structured and quite intense. All teachers were very prompt; never late for the session and always sincere to students.

Overall, it was very enjoyable memories for me. Since I was there only for 3 weeks, I was not able to join major activities. I stayed in my own apartment, so I have no information for housing. I enjoyed so much. I will definitely recommend this school to my peers.

Lisa-Marie Chmiel, siswa dari Jerman

I really liked the school because there are a lot of people from different nations. It's very easy to find new friends. In the classes we had a lot of fun learning Japanese. One reason was also the teachers who are really kind. I enjoyed my time there a lot and would totally recommend it to people who are interested in learning the Japanese language.

"Serious and committed environment."

Edoardo Linari, siswa dari Itali

As I wrote before, it was a challenging and serious environment. The teaching was good and the school was located in a fun area of Tokyo. I believe the courses were interesting and the students felt like a group. I also believe my Japanese improved significantly. The host family was great and we got along from the first minute. They were kind and caring. I believe the only inconvenience was the location, as the house was quite distant from the center of Tokyo.

"This trip has been one of a kind!"

Nancy Lauritzen Melby, siswa dari Denmark

The school is all in all amazing. The teachers are really helpful. Even though, as a complete beginner when I first came, the teachers are strict about using English in class and force you to use Japanese, it actually only makes you work harder and learn faster which is a huge quality at ISI, I think.
And the atmosphere among the students is also wonderful. No one is mad at each other, we all respect each other and by coming from all over the world, we make connections that are priceless.
Of course there are people you like less and some teachers that don't correspond to your own structure, but that is not a problem when you have such a well-functioning school.

"Important experience and improved skills!"

Olga Kosykh

I was glad to study in ISI Language School! Thank you very much!

Though I stayed there only for 2 weeks, I enjoyed everything!

I really can say that with the help of professional teachers and their methods of teaching language, even 2 weeks was a big help for me. The opportunity to listen to their speech, to their explanations in Japanese, and opportunity to talk in the class, really gave me great results!

I lived in the Hikari House at Shin-Okubo, and the location was very convenient. Just 5 minutes to the station, and only 3 minutes by subway to the school at Takadanobaba! I also liked school itself!
Unfortunately, due to the short period of stay in Japan, I didn't have a chance to participate in school activities, but I heard about the trip that was planned for students, and I think it's so cool!

Thank you really!
Hontou ni arigatou gozaimasu!

"I will certainly go back for more"

Platon Aspriotis, siswa dari Yunani

I had a wonderful time. I didn't realise how fast four weeks passed. The teachers were very good, easy to talk and ask questions, they really help you out if you have any problem and they make the classes very interesting (I suppose that goes from the experience they have). The facilities are very good but with one small problem. The desks are quite short and tall people (like me) are a bit cramped.
About the after school activities now. It was the second best part of my trip to Japan with the ISI with quite a few highlights (climbing to Mount Fuji for sporty people, visiting Harajuku and maid cafes for otakus, kimono presentation for female audience, visits to museums etc).
Unfortunately I can't say much for the housing because the time I spent in it was mostly for sleeping.
If you’re wondering what was the best part of this trip, it was the people I met. Japanese, Swedish, Brasilian, French, Taiwanese, Chinese, American, Hungarian, Spanish, Mexican, Italian, Polish and I don’t remember from how many more other countries were there with the same interest in Japanese culture.
If you have some second thoughts about doing this trip cast them away. It's a unique experience you can not miss, especially if you like Japan.

"School Location Good / Housing Location Bad"

Shawn Tamaribuchi, siswa dari Amerika Serikat

When I was planning my study trip, I was specifically interested in staying in Tokyo. The facilities and teaching were good, but the housing was not even in Tokyo. It therefore required 1.5 hours of travel during rush hour to get to the school, which was incredibly time consuming and a waste of money. If I had wanted to spend most of my time in a rural location, I would have not picked Tokyo. The program description was very misleading in that respect.

"It is a very fast program not for beginners."

LF, siswa dari Amerika Serikat

It is on a main subway line and close to the station which made it very convenient. But the program (even the beginner classes) is not set up for people who don't have a basic grasp of the language already, including reading and writing both katakana and hiragana. It is very fast and most of the teachers can't speak English, so can't explain the grammar, which is very different from English. They are constantly having tests on writing but not on comprehension. And are stressing students out more than teaching them to understand and speak Japanese. I was only in the program for 1 month and decided not to pay for more. I felt the teachers were well aware that I was frustrated and felt left behind and they just hoped I would eventually catch up. I wanted to speak the language and do not feel satisfied in learning many new words through the school. Although I am able to read hiragana and katakana, but cannot understand what I am reading so I feel useless. The teachers were very nice and for more advanced studies are very helpful and friendly to their students. I was also given poor information on their starting schedule so felt a bit duped by only having 1 1/2 days of class the first week. When a new session of classes start they have a test on Monday. For beginners it's useless. Tuesday is a get to know other students and teacher party for a couple of hours. Wednesday you have your first class. Thursday you have half a day then go to a park to take a school photo. Friday is a welcome party for long term students. The 2nd week is when classes really began. I shouldn't have paid for that first week it was a bit of a joke. I also had asked about the first day of what I thought would be classes, Monday, and what time it would be starting and was not given accurate information. I don't think language international is communicating with ISI very well. For most of the information provided seems to have been confused in translation. My LI source did try her best and gave me as much information as I think she could but was just not privy to accurate sources.

"Well organised"

Cho Kyung-Mi, siswa dari Australia

The location and facilities of the school were excellent. Teachers gives homework and sufficient amounts of work and follow them through. Some experienced teachers explained grammar in Japanese better than others. The home stay the school organised was highly enjoyable because the host organised lots of events where I had chances to be exposed to Japanese language at its culture. Most things I mentioned I liked. However, the downside was the distance between the school and home stay - being an hour and a half was a bit too expensive for the train fare. Housing was extremely hot, it was a real sauna experience. I also would like the class to have a bit more interesting lessons using multi mediums to teach etc. The routine class tends to make students a bit bored but due to a slightly fast speed most people stayed on task.

"It was a wonderfull experience I had the opportunity to learn a new language but also a totally different culture..."

Maylis Curatolo, siswa dari Perancis

I arrived in August in Tokyo, first I experience the housing it was nice it was a guest house so you have your own room and you are sharing the kitchen and all the bathroom, shower facilities... Witch is quiet good cause you can if you want be alone but also meet people who can become friends that you will never forget, the guest house was a little bit far away from the school:30 min. The distance is not really a problem but the because of that you have to pay a lot for using the subway, but the subway in Tokyo cost a lot. The school, the school was really really good everyone were really nice, the teachers are perfect they will just speak in Japanese and they know how to deal with all the students, you have to studie of course :little test everyday but you won't have any pretion, in the school I will say that 70% are chinese or korean, and there is a lot of swedish (still don't know why), and the other student come from everywhere, just one recommendation, in Japan and in this school If you are a foreigner, a western student you have to know how to speak english otherwise it will be difficult for you to enjoy your time, and understand how to register to the school or paying your rent... To finish I just want to say that it was a wonderful experience and maybe I will go back there to improve my japanese skills one year!

"I was expecting English speaking teachers"

Jamie Goguen, siswa dari Amerika Serikat

The classes were ok at the school. I also liked the teachers there too, but they just didn't speak any English & I fell behind right away. How do I ask a question if the teacher can't answer back in English? I was scheduled for 8 weeks, but after just a week I did not attend other classes. I discussed it with the head of the school & also informed the Boston office. Other than that the family I stayed with for homestay was excellent! They helped make the trip much better. I just I wish I knew upfront that the teachers did not speak English. I could have taken the classes right here in Mass. where they do speak english. I asked for a refund, but nothing was offered. What else is there to say...

"Holiday study, rather than serious study."

James Chen, siswa dari England

The GEOS Kudan Institute for Language and Culture is situated in a terrific location in the heart of Tokyo, with nearby train/metro stations that provides easy travel to all major Tokyo city districts such as Shinjuku and Ueno (provided that you are somewhat of a good map reader because Tokyo's train system is unprecedented). The school area of Kudanshita is a business district, littered with restaurants, noodle bars, and cafes, even kaiden sushi. If you're looking for lunch or dinner during your study, you rarely have to walk for more than five minutes. The Tokyo Dome is also only ten minutes walk away, a baseball stadium surrounded by many forms of entertainment including a small theme park, shopping malls, and food courts. The school itself is divided into three areas, two main buildings on the main road and one a few blocks further away. Most students are placed in the two main buildings. The school facilities are nothing astonishing. A reception, staff rooms, multiple classrooms, a computer area in one of the buildings for student use, and toilets. There is nothing special about it. No touch-screen boards and no advanced computers in the classrooms. But then again, they are not required. The facilities are fine as long as you do not raise your standards far too high. The teaching model is average. I wouldn’t say they are the best for beginners due to the staff’s preference to speak nothing but Japanese when you are in the building. There is a rule in the school that when you are on the premises, you are only allowed to talk in Japanese, however it is not heavily enforced. For beginners, the pace is quick but manageable. You may find that you will have to study heavily in your own time if you want to keep up. Some members of staff do use English in their lessons if need be, but some are more stubborn. If you find yourself stuck and lacking understanding, do not expect that your problem will always be solved efficiently with the teacher. At times, I found, as did other students, that asking fellow class members for help was simpler than asking the teacher! However, this said, the teaching system is still geared to make you talk more in Japanese so you will pick the language up quicker, and this is true. Studying at GEOS Kudan, you will find that your day to day Japanese will improve quicker than say a lessons of a same duration in your native high school. The atmosphere is very friendly and the staffs are kind. I heard of no such things as punishments handed out to students. Also, the school is an excellent way to make new friends from all over the world. There are people of all ages from all places, and you will find that everyone will get along more or less great! I personally made a few great friends whom I am still in contact with now. Yet meeting Japanese friends is still a bit difficult. If you chose intensive or the conversational courses, making Japanese friends is rather limited. If you chose the activities course, then you have a much higher chance. Accommodation wise, GEOS Kudan provided some excellent housing in many diverse locations around Tokyo. If you choose to stay with a host family, the quality and nature will vary. I was lucky enough to stay with a very friendly and accommodating family that was ready to accept me as a family member. Due to my legal age, I had no curfews placed on me and the family was all too happy to help me out with difficulties. However, with some host families, you will find that they are more strict with things such as coming back home before 9pm (which is a problem for those who are looking to soak up the Tokyo nightlife), even if you are over twenty. Complaints towards host families are rare though. The vast majority of students will find that even if they have a curfew in place, the experience will still be pleasant. If you are looking for a more personal and independent living however, you can apply for the school accommodations which are located all over Tokyo. They are similar to university halls and each person will have their own room. Quality is more or less consistent, with some cleaner or larger than others. All in all, the GEOS Kudan Institute for Language and Culture is a basic school, set in making their students more fluent or understanding in the Japanese language. If you are a total beginner, then it would not be the best, but for the price, it is highly acceptable. If you have some previous knowledge of Japanese, then the GEOS Kudan is a good and cheap choice. Experiences vary depending on your chosen course, with intensive being hard learning, conversational more relaxed and friendly, and activities for those who are wishing to see Japan as much as they want to learn Japan. I personally enjoyed my time with the school very much, using my free time to meet new people and to enjoy what the city of Tokyo had to offer in many ways.

"Overall a very good experience, but with some small flaws."

Niels Johan Daneel Vincent, siswa dari Belgia

The school is located in a convenient location, near a station on the main JR line of Tokyo. The facilities they provide are excellent also with everything required to give teaching.
The activities were prepared in advance and happened perfectly.
The teachers and the staff are always willing to help and trying their best to explain everything.
And this trying to explain is where it goes difficult.
A lot of students don't get appropriate answer on their question because the teachers really miss English language. For students who already know some Japanese this is OK, but for students who don't know any Japanese at all it can get confusing. Teaching is also going at a snails pace with.
Another small remark, we had 7 different teachers so far. I don't see why because sometimes a teacher explains what a different teacher told us before.
Also the lessons are poorly filled on some days in a way that there is only material to teach for 3 hours but we are sitting 4 hours in school.
So the teacher has to come up with ""something"" to fill the time, be it chatter or redoing something again.

With no students studying at home because of the so low level and slow pace it doesn't feel like we learned a lot.
But I guess this way nobody complains it was too difficult.

"An interesting month in Tokyo"

SK Tang, siswa dari Hong Kong

The Japanese course that I enrolled in was supposedly an short intensive course. However, it wasn't a tailor-made kind of course that I had in mind, rather the first month of a longer (one year) intensive language course.
Right from the beginning the teachers would teach and speak to us in Japanese. And everything was written in hiragana, with a minimum of romaji. The strange thing was that they would teach hiragana at the end of each day. Fortunately I, and most of the other students, had a basic grasp of hiragana already, otherwise you would be severely behind or disadvantaged.
Every day of the week you would get a different teacher. At first I found that very strange and unnecessary, because I did not understand how the next teacher would know where the last teacher left off. Then it became clear that the school uses a fixed syllabus. Each day teaching a set amount of material, not more not less. So after 2 weeks I got used to it. In hindsight it was perhaps a good thing to have different teachers, because some were good and some were less. And each teacher had a different approach to explaining things. One thing I still don't know whether it was good or bad is the lack of ability of English of the teachers. Only one of the 5 teachers we had spoke elementary English, therefore none could explain anything in proper English. For a beginner it is not only very difficult but also very frustrating not being able to understand what is being said or explained, especially when it comes to grammar. Moreover, you wouldn't know whether you had understood it correctly. However, being immersed in Japanese only did speed up the absorption of the language. Though at occasions precious time was spent on explaining things, which would have cost a fraction of the time if done in English.
The method of teaching by repetition is one that I was not used to. However, it turned out to be very effective in memorizing the material. It was literally drilled into you. Therefore the pace didn't feel very quick, but you did learn a lot of things in a relatively short time.
The school uses the ""Minna no Nihongo"" series. It's one of the more widely used textbooks for learning Japanese and prepares you for the JLPT exams. This series is not new and still uses some words and expressions that are a bit outdated. In general it is not bad and gets the knowledge across.
Beginner classes were in the afternoon from 1pm-5pm. Each class was 50 mins with a 10 min break in between. I found that duration just right. Most days would go by fairly quickly. During the breaks many students would go out on the balcony to smoke. There wasn't a separate smoking area, so often I would stay in the class room to avoid the smoke. This I found rather annoying.
Anyway, overall I had a great time and it was an unforgettable experience. I haven't attended school for more than a decade since I graduated, so it was a nice break from work.

"In all dates marked as Mid-term entrance day, students with some knowledge of japanese language can start the course, right?"

The required level is intermediate (JLPT N3 level). However, at this stage, unfortunately we cannot guarantee that she can attend the JLPT N2 preparatory class from the beginning. She will need to pass the placement test on her first day at school, to attend the JLPT N2 preparatory class. If she cannot attend the JLPT N2 class, she will study in a general class (the most suitable level for her) until she reaches the certain level.

"How much should he bring for pocket money and for buying food?"

Владислав Калинин, siswa dari Russia
Tanja Hölzer, Instituto Intercultural del Caribe (IIC) staf

About the pocket money, it depends how much he will spend for shopping. We can only arrange half board homestay for him, so, he only needs to buy a lunch. The lunch price in Tokyo is about 400 – 800 yen. The drink of 500ml bottle is about 150 yen if you buy in a convenience store, but it can be about 100 yen if you buy in a supermarket. A cup of coffee in a café costs about 250 – 500 yen. Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s cost about 500 – 600 yen for the meal. There are a lot of food restaurants around school, and you can have lunch with about 400 – 800 yen.

Apakah ini membantu? Ya

"What is the visa process?"

Camille steinbach, siswa dari Perancis

The student is welcome to study with us for 40 weeks from January 2014. Unfortunately the deadline of January term student visa has already passed. Japanese immigration issues the student visas only 4 times a year, January, April, July and October. So, she can only get a student visa from April 2014. In this case, she can study for the first 3 months (January - March) with a tourist visa, and change her visa status from tourist visa to student visa at the end of March. To change the visa status, she doesn’t have to leave Japan. She just needs to fill in the application form with our guidance and leave her passport to us. We will go to the immigration and change her visa status on behalf of her. So it’s quite easy. But please note that she needs 4,000 yen for visa change (immigration charge). Please note that 40 weeks is 1 year course. Her course start date is 7th January 2014, and the course end date is 19th December 2014. Her course will be 3 months (tourist visa) + 9 months (student visa). The JLPT exam is held in July and December, so she will have 2 chances during her stay.

In order to apply for a student visa which is valid from April, we need to apply for her COE as following schedule. Process:
1. Please submit all the necessary documents to me by e-mail by 31st October.
2. After ISI check the documents, I will ask you to send them by registered post.
3. Please send the documents and photos by registered post to ISI head office.
4. ISI will complete the application documents, and apply for her COE (Certificate of Eligibility) on 11th December to Japanese immigration on behalf of her.
5. Her course starts on 7th January. She will entre Japan a few day before the course starts on a tourist visa.
6. ISI will receive her COE on 27th February from Japanese immigration.
7. ISI will help her visa change in March.

"Can a Turkmen citizen who has been studying Japanese in Ankata get the Japan visa for six months in Turkey?"

Myrat GYLYJOV, siswa dari Turki

The student is probably talking about a student visa, because nobody can get a tourist visa for 6 months without extension. We are happy to help him to apply for a student visa. As he already knows, the minimum booking for the course with a student visa is 6 months (20 weeks). Student visa is issued only 4 times a year, in April, July, October, and January. However, July term student visa deadline was 26th March unfortunately. So his next chance would be starting from October with a student visa. If he really wants to start from July, he needs to take a tourist visa for 3 months in his country, and change the visa status into a student visa in October in Japan. In this case, he needs to study for 9 months (3 month with a tourist visa + 6 months with a student visa). If he agrees with starting from October, he is more than welcome. The start cdate is 09.10.2013, and the end date is 20.03.2014. Please note that the October term visa application deadline is also very soon. So we need to receive the booking at latest before 30th April, and receive the application documents before 10th May.

Here is the list of application documents to get the COE (visa support document).
-Application for Admission form
-Personal History Application form
-Written Proof of Sponsor
-Photos (3x4cm 4 pieces)
-Copy of leaving certificate of applicant’s last school
-Copy of the applicant's passport (photo page and pages with Japanese stamps)

"What is the requirements for a guarantor?"

Myrat GYLYJOV, siswa dari Turki
Carmen López, Don Quijote staf

If he stays with a friend, his friend should be an inviter and guarantor. He must ask him to be a guarantor and to make the documents. As he is coming for 3 months, he can apply for a temporary visitor’s visa (tourist visa) with his friend’s help. In this case, he should mention that he is coming to visit friend, to go sightseeing, and just would like to try the language school for a few weeks. As you can imagine, we have a huge responsibility to be a guarantor. As far as I know, almost no Japanese language school will be a guarantor without arranging the accommodation.

For your information, what the Japanese consult says and what the Japanese immigration says are often different, which make us confused. Because Japanese immigration belongs to Ministry of Justice, and consult belongs to Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But the most important thing is, when he comes to Japan, he must pass the immigration, not the Ministry of Justice. Immigration officially allow students who take 3 months language course to stay in Japan with a temporary visitor’s visa. Immigration does not agree to issue a student visa for students who take less than 6 months language course.

So I think the best way would be asking his friend to be an inviter and guarantor, and get a temporary visitor’s visa. If his friend refuses to be a guarantor, he needs to stay ISI accommodation and get a temporary visitor’s visa with our support.

"When can the student start?"

Katrin katrin, siswa dari Jerman
Jose Marta, Prestige International Institute staf

If she is a beginner, she can start from 8th April. The end date is 19th April. (The beginner can start from only January, April, July and October) But please note that 08.04 is orientation, 09.04 is welcome party, and the class starts from 10.04. Although it is 2 weeks, she can study only 8 days because of the orientation and welcome party. If she likes to study full 10 days, she has another option to start from 15th April, and finish on 26th April. But in this case, other beginner students will have studied 3 days x 4 hours when she joins, so please ask her to learn at least Hiragana (Japanese sign) before she starts.

Ann Piscopo,

Visa application from some countries such as Russia, China, etc. to Japan is a bit complicated and sometimes, it takes a long time to be issued a visa.

1. Once she decides to apply to our course, please let me know until June11 (next Monday). Please also send us her passport copy by e-mail and her address so that we can send her necessary documents by post.
2. We will issue and send her invoice.

"The student already has a Japanese student visa. Can he study your Japanese course during this summer for 3 weeks on this visa?"

Bruna Messias, siswa dari Brazil
Ann Piscopo,

No problem to study with us if he has a valid visa. However, generally
student visas are linked to a specific school. If he received the visa
from a previous Japanese school, and will finish his study with them,
it is likely that they will cancel the remainder of his visa as they are
required to do by the government.

"Does an Algerian student need to apply for a student visa?"

Bruna Messias, siswa dari Brazil
Ann Piscopo,

This student is from Algeria, so he needs to obtain a student visa to study for 40 weeks with us. Unfortunately, Japanese immigration is very strict to African people and they require a lot of documents for the visa investigation. One of them is Certificate of JLPT or NAT or J-test. Africans need to have at least elementary level of Japanese, and they need to show the certificate of their Japanese ability for visa investigation. So if he is a beginner, unfortunately he cannot apply for a student visa. Furthermore, immigration will call him to check his Japanese level. They will also call his financial supporter to check the information in the documents is correct. He and we need to work really hard for his visa application.

"Do you offer 21 weeks courses?"

Millena Oliveira, siswa dari Brazil
Ann Piscopo,

No. Long term students can start from the specific starting dates, which are the beginning of the semesters. As you can see on the website, 07.01.2014/ 08.04.2014/ 01.07.2014/ 08.10.2014. The structure of our 1 year schedule is April term (10 weeks = 3 months) + holiday + July term (10 weeks = 3 months) + holiday + October term (10 weeks = 3 months) + holiday + January term (10 weeks = 3 months). So we cannot accept students who will remain only for 1 week in the next term.

"The student would like to complete the beginner's phase. That could be made in about 9 months, correct? If he starts on the 7th of July, when would he finish his course (Taking into account the holidays of the school)? Which would be the holidays during his studying period?"

Dyan Test, siswa dari Amerika Serikat
Luanne McCallum, INTERLINK School of Languages staf

Yes, it is said that non-Kanji background students (other than Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean) need about 9 months to complete the beginner – elementary level. Once he complete this period, he will be able to have a daily conversation without any problem and use honorific expressions in a simple conversation.

9 months in our school is “30 weeks course”. In his case, from 1st July 2014 to 20th March 2015.

"The student like to know for how long is the student visa issued? Is it exactly for his studying period or is it approved for one year even if he has a course for 30 weeks?"

Dyan Test, siswa dari Amerika Serikat
Luanne McCallum, INTERLINK School of Languages staf

He will probably get a visa valid for 1 year, even if he books the course for 9 months (30 weeks) only. However, unfortunately students who have a student visa need to leave within 2 weeks after the course finishes. So, it doesn’t mean he can stay for 1 year with 9 months course booking. Sometimes students want to come to Japan early, but this also causes a trouble at the airport immigration. Students should come to Japan within 2 weeks before the course starts, and leave within 2 weeks after the course finishes. If he would like to stay in Japan longer, he needs to book the course longer, unfortunately.

"The student would like to book the course for 36 weeks. How many weeks of accommodation does he need?"

I recommend to him studying for 30 weeks (9 months), from 8th October 2014 to 26th June 2015, because he has to spend a lot of holidays if he takes 36 weeks. But of course, it is up to him. If he takes 36 weeks course, his course is from 8th October 2014 to 28th August 2015.

Option 1
Course: 30 weeks (9 months) from 8th October 2014 to 26th June 2015
Guesthouse: 38 weeks from 5th October 2014 to 27th June 2015

Option 2
Course: 30 weeks (9 months) from 8th October 2014 to 28th August 2015
Guesthouse: 47 weeks from 5th October 2014 to 29th August 2015

However, please note that we do not recommend the accommodation booking for such a long stay. Some students do not like the guesthouse and want to move out, but we cannot give you a refund at all. Please advise him to book the guesthouse only for the first few months, and extend onsite if he likes.

School holidays: 13 Oct 2014, 3 Nov 2014, 24 Nov 2014, 20 Dec 2014 - 7 Jan 2015, 12 Jan 2015, 11 Feb 2015, 21 Mar 2015 – 9 Apr 2015, 29 Apr 2015, 2 May 2015 – 10 May 2015, 27 Jun 2015 – 5 Jul 2015, 20 Jul 2015, 1 Aug 2015 – 16 Aug 2015

"Is it ok for students who have not graduated from higher secondary school to apply for a visa?"

My colleague called the immigration and asked if it is ok for students who have not graduated from higher secondary school to apply for a visa. Apparently, there is no problem. Just be sure that he has to go back to his home country after he finishes the language course (he cannot move on higher education in Japan).

"The student would like to know how long would take for her to receive the documents to apply for her visa from the moment we send the enrollment."

I must tell you that this is an urgent matter, if the client would like to get a student visa from April 2014. Japanese immigration issues student visas only 4 times a year, in January, April, July and October. They take a very long time for the visa investigation, so we need to submit all the necessary documents to the immigration on morning 11th December sharp, so that she can get a student visa valid from April 2014.

If she can submit the necessary documents to us before next Sunday (9th December) by e-mail, this is the simplest process. But even if she cannot make it in time, there is another way to start from April 2014. She can stay on a tourist visa from April to June 2014 (for tourist visa, she doesn’t have to do anything), and change her visa status to student visa in July 2014. We will do this visa change on behalf of her, so she doesn’t have to worry at all. But please note that this costs 4,000 yen (may change in 2014) at immigration. In this case, she needs to apply for a July term student visa, but she still has enough time. She can submit the documents to us before the end of February 2014.

Francisco Xavier Mejía Bastos, siswa dari Bolivia
Vivi van Ketel, Avenue English staf

If a student’s last school is higher secondary school, we need the copy of the graduation certificate of higher secondary school.
If a student’s last school is university, we need the copy of the bachelor certificate or master certificate.
Please note that the language course, cultural course etc are not counted as part of education in this COE application.

"The student wanted to ask if it's possible to arrive on th 22nd of march to Japan. If you receive the COE at the end of February, and send it by express mail to the student in Bolivia, she should be able to get the stamp in the first weeks of March, right?"

Under the immigration rule, we cannot post the COE until we certainly confirm the students’ payment. Because some students tell a lie (or sometimes a student make a fake payment receipt!), never pay the fees, get the COE and come to Japan.
