Unlike my time studying Japanese in Sri Lanka, it's crucial now to manage my classes, studies, and part-time work hours on my own. In IJLP, I study with clear goals in mind and lead a fulfilling student life.

For one year, I attended online classes in my home country, dreaming of life and studies in Japan. In IJLP, classes are divided by proficiency levels, and the teachers are kind, providing a conducive environment for learning.

Testimonials of IJLP Alumni

(China)
Junior, Department of Risk & Crisis Management

The best thing about transitioning from IJLP to university is that the living environment doesn't change much. Since I was already living in Japan, entering Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts was smooth. Additionally, having teachers from IJLP within the university campus has been reassuring because I can easily approach them with questions.
