Up..
Up any more Japanese language learning center near Las Piñas are?
Thanks..

[ЅUX2BÜ]

Magtanong ka sa TESDA; 'yung language institute nila ay nasa Taguig. Libre ang mag-aral dun.

O kung hindi naman ay sa Chuoiryou Training Center na TESDA-accredited din. Sa Las Piñas siya mismo. Paki-tsek 'yung website nila rito.

がんばってね!

di nga? libre? baket???

I'd avoid using the Minna no Nihongo book. While it's probably the most commonly used Japanese book out there, it's written by Japanese authors without a target audience in mind.

I took classes at the Word and Language Learning Center in Malate infront of the City State Hotel if I remember correctly. They use a book written sometime in the 80's written by a Filipino author specifically targeted for Filipinos learning Japanese. I have been through three Japanese language schools and they taught basic Japanese the best.

I stopped studying Japanese because I changed fields, (before I wanted to work abroad) but if I stayed in my previous field I would have continued it. Not only is it fun, once you attain a high degree of fluency in both oral and written Japanese, the opportunities are limitless. Only very few people would know both Japanese and English. The Japanese have a hard time with English, the Americans have a difficult time with Kanji and the Chinese/Koreans aren't good with English

meron pa ba ngayon? magkano kaya dun... hm... layo na kase ng UP Diliman sakin ngayon kaya hindi na ako mka-enroll ulit sa Jap class.

Depende po.. Pero sa tingin ko mga 2 years of study.. Para fluent na talaga..
Pero depende pa rin sa tao kung masipag siya mag aral at dapat talaga may makausap kang magaling din mag Nihongo para mas mabilis..

Re: Employment
I've heard that there are some companies looking for people who are fluent to analyze financial data for market profiles or to be call center agents that can speak the language. Starting pay is high daw.

Re: Being Fluent
Having a native speaker that you can talk to will definitely speed up the process but being exposed to the language on an almost-daily basis can do the trick. I've taken Japanese classes in my university every year (for 3 years) and they've definitely helped, particularly in Kanji. Watching TV shows and listening to music helps you in listening and speaking, while formal lessons help you in Kanji and grammar. Or at least, based on my experience

Re: Where to study
As for language schools in the south, I'm eyeing Visum Language Center in Alabang, and NCF and Languages Internationale in Makati. I've passed N3 recently but only with a B rating, so I'm not confident about taking N2. :/

Hi, what about working abroad? Do you think if you became fluent in Japanese language you have a chance to have a work in Japan?? Or else where?? Do you have a chance?
Thanks for answering..

Iisa lang pala ang Nihongo Center at PIJLC

It ultimately depends on what sort of job you want to have in Japan. I think most white collar jobs require at least having passed the N2 level. But maybe for part-time jobs that aren't "as formal", maybe you can do with N3. I'm not entirely sure as I haven't actually lived in Japan (but I know people who did), so please don't take my word for it

Frankly if I were to apply, the most likely job I'd probably get is an English tutor. I hear some don't even require that you're fluent in Japanese but they really prefer it. Teaching isn't a field I'm interested in so I'm not really considering it. But most IT companies nowadays are looking for people fluent in Japanese but they first require you to have an IT-related degree.

Not to brag or anything, but just to answer your question, I was recently invited by a known finance company to apply for a position because they saw my resume from my school's database and they were looking for people with Japanese language skills. With recent influx of foreign companies in the country, I don't think you'd have to go very far to find a job where you can put your Japanese into use.

A Japanese language proficiency is a plus but not really deal-breaker. You should at least offer a technical skill, e.g. IT skills. I have friends who have only so and so Japanese language skills but have good coding abilities. At least they all understand the C language.

Sorry to say this but very few Pinoys are hired as English instructors. Why? Lets face it, we are not white nor black enough. Yes its racist pero ang talagang hinahanap nila in an English teacher is authenticity or rather "ambience", so a Caucasian or African-look is very much a plus. I had a Nordic-looking Spanish classmate who was hired as an English instructor, even if he was a certified dyslexic and had a heavy Spanish accent.

If you want to go the English teacher route, mas sure-ball kung dumaan ka sa agency and you have actual college credentials as an English teacher, gaya nung kaibigan ko na Pinay.

Couldn't agree more. English tutoring mostly requires Native English Speakers. Sometimes even when you would say that you're very fluent and eloquent in English they won't bother entertaining your application. I also have a technical background as fr as my degree is concern and I'm eyeing to be a research assistant/assistant lecturer at any universities there..

Mahirap ngayon ang technical jobs dito, especially the academe. A lot of budget cuts in the universities and research centers. Yung mga sempai ko na may mga PhD hanggang ngayon contractuals pa rin.

ano po pwedeng jobs pag nag ka N1 na ?

Depende kung ano skills mo. JLPT is just a test for your Japanese language proficiency. Kung yun lang ang skill set mo, eh di mag-hire na lang sila ng Hapon talaga.
