Actually I closed my company and left my apartment to go to japan since 3 months. I’m stuck now because of COViD. I will still wait but it’s too sad If I can’t learn japanese in Japan. There is no sense if I spend my money waiting there instead of making something useful in Japan. Waiting here, is so much less productive than studying in Japan and COViD doesn’t care where I am (even if we have to be careful with COViD spreading). To sum up, I feel I’m loosing my time and worst, I feel It will change nothing for COViD.

I am very sad, because if there is a delay I and foreign students will feel left behind because the school year has started in April, even though it has been done online but it reduces its own meaning to me like on the first day of entering school there must be an orientation where students can see face to face and get to know each other, but back to the present situation because of the covid 19 virus, I hope that the virus will quickly subside and we can go to Japan

If the delay is for few weeks that’s fine, we can start online and be used with the way to learn. But if the delay is more than a month, it will be frustrating because we worked hard to give ourselves the opportunity to go to Japan and enjoy not only the language, but also the culture and the people.

Studying Japanese in Japan means everything to me. I sacrificed 4 years of my life working to save money for this moment, never going out and studying/planning my life there.

As learning Japanese is my sense of direction, it will probably lead to a lot of stress and depression. As I have been focusing on my Japanese path. It may lead to a loss of hope for the world.

I understand that with the pandemic, we must be careful, but not having a real date it’s very difficult. We can’t plan anything, we don’t know when the borders will reopens. This is the most difficult right now, spending several months planning a new life in a another country is really stressful and not knowing when we would be able to come is a nerve wrecker. I hope the borders will open soon.

I’ve been working for all of my university years towards this opportunity. I won two scholarships through hard work, but now I’m afraid I could lose both of them. It is essential for me to go to Japan, so that I can learn Japanese and prepare my M.A. thesis.

i left my job and my place in paris, came back live with my parents, saved money for 2 years just to prepare this trip. i really wanted to learn all the different aspects of living abroad in Japan.

I hope to learn Japan as a whole and to spread the message about Japan’s beauty to people around me. It’s my way of value add and to contribute to Japan society as a student.

As an international student studying and ultimately obtaining a degree from a reputable Japanese University, I believe I would be a valuable asset to Japanese society because having best of both worlds- a foreign background and perspective and a distinctly Japanese education and understanding of the functions of Japanese society.
