Hello! My name is Jun, and I am a 46th-batch Bekka student from Soka University. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 46th-batch Bekka students could not go to Japan even until the end of the program. We did not even know when we could enter Japan. There were also times when I was tired from all the online classes everyday. At that time, I was introduced to the Nihongo Dojo program which was recommended to me by a Bekka teacher. I did not have many opportunities to talk with Japanese people, so I joined Nihongo Dojo. Through the discussions with Japanese staff in the Nihongo Dojo sessions, I was able to learn things that I would not have been able to learn by only taking classes with my professors. For example, I was able to learn the way Japanese people usually talk with their friends and the culture of young people in Japan. Most of all, I am always thankful for the kind staff members!
