Konnichawa, we are Mari (really easy name right?) and Điện(yep it is still difficult for me to pronounce it). As you could guess I am the Spanish one in this blog. We meet in Tokyo when we were studying in a language school call “Arc Academy”and we are together since then. So basically we are a Spanish and Vietnamese couple. :3
Our purpose is to help people who is or will be studying in Japan. We have different experiences because we came from different countries. Being an Asian or being an European /American in Japan really makes a difference. It has advantages and disadvantages in both but the motivation coming to Japan is quite different. As far as I see it , Europeans and Americans came to Japan because they like the culture, anime, language etc but it is because you really love it. However most Asians came to Japan because it will bring them better living conditions or getting hig.
I studied in a language school and took the N1 grade of the 日本語能力試験 and Điện is a current University student in Saitama. We both prepare for university exam call “EJU”. If you don’t know about it we will explain it in the next post. This is not the only thing you have to do to enter in to University but it is one of the requirements you have to send.
Actually I’m preparing for going to a graduate school in Tokyo so you can have two different point of view . If you want to do an Undergraduate program or a graduate program.
