\nDefinitely yes, since I have succeeded to pass the entrance exam for Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku. The atmosphere of Tokyo Galaxy Japanese Language School is quite different from other language schools in Korea; at first I had a hard time to get used to it. However, when I started to do some self-study alongside school lessons, I soon found out that it might be the best place to learn Japanese from the verybasics.
\nI practiced my Japanese not only at the school, but also in my daily life; when you are living in Japan, you need to speak Japanese every moment of every day. By doing so I could learn Japanese naturally, not like studying it in my classes or doing homework. I think that what I have learned through such daily conversation had also greatly contributed to my interview test for the Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku.
\nI don\u2019t know for sure which place is better to study, but personally, I think I was able to learn much faster by coming to Japan and acquiring language skills in this country.Apart from studying, I also enjoy living in Japan<\/p>\n

\nCertainly there are many vocational schools in Japan where you can learn Japanese cuisine, but I wanted to receive professional training of sushi cooking from the start; that\u2019s why I came to Japan. So I wanted to concentrate as much as possible on learning about sushi.
\nAt Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku, they teach various types of Japanese cuisine besides sushi, but the school\u2019s basic idea is to train professional sushi chefs, and I thought it would suit my purpose better than other Japanese vocational schools.
\nIn fact, when I went to visit the College, I felt that this place was really established for the purpose of teaching sushi cooking. There might be numerous ways to learn sushi making, but taking a realistic approach, I thought that the place provides the most professional training in sushi making, and I would be able to fulfill my dreams sooner by studying there. So that\u2019s why I decided to enter Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku.<\/p>\n
\nEverything about Japanese vocational schools, from entrance exams to classes, are different from 4-year universities. So I don’t think it is necessary to study extremely hard for entrance exams. When I was preparing for the entrance exam, I had an intention to improve my Japanese to a level in which I would be able to study without any problems at a Japanese vocational school. My Japanese is not perfect yet, but I think I was able to pass the entrance exam because I worked hard for half a year having such a mindset.
\nI\u2019m not sure about 4-year universities, but I think it\u2019s not that difficult to enter a Japanese vocational school unless you enjoy yourself too much. You will have plenty of time left to study even if you do everything you want to do in Japan. And whatever you do for fun, you will be using Japanese, so your Japanese will be better and better. That\u2019s another good point to study in Japan.<\/p>\n![\"Student](\"\/images\/sushi-tokyo-20191219-2.jpg\")

\nThe first thing I felt about the school was, people from all over the world were there to learn Japanese, and each one of my classmates had different dreams and goals.
\nTokyo Galaxy is a place to teach Japanese to such students in a comprehensive manner, so it was really nice to be able to get along with foreign friends and study in an enjoyableatmosphere.
\nThe teachers are all kind to us, and they will help us with any questions not only in your studies but also in your life in Japan.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s still a distant future, but I will start my 3-year curriculum at Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku in April 2020, and after that, I would like to gain experience at a famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo. I\u2019m hoping to build up a lot of experience, and eventually have my own sushi restaurant.<\/p>\n![\"Student](\"\/images\/sushi-tokyo-20191219-3.jpg\")

\nHe seems to be fully enjoying his life in Japan, while doing his best to improve his Japanese, always being aware of his goals.
\nWe think that there are lots of useful hints in his story for people wishing to go on to a vocational school in Japan.
\nWe are hoping that he continues to acquire knowledge and skills to support his life at the Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku.
\nIt will be wonderful if we can introduce his sushi restaurant on this blog in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
