    konnichiwa Kem chan, I really love the fact that you start your videos with a full japanese prologue, makes me love them more, because I love the language that is. so I am basically rewatching this video, since I last did in 2017 when I made my first attempt to apply for a scholarship for undergrad programs, but failed for poor language proficiency by then. I was really shocked, because I always heard that there were all-english programs but the embassy (of my home country, Angola) told me after an awekward phone call interview that I had to be really really fluent in japanese. So I had no choice but to enroll in a local institution.
    But I wont give up just yet, japan is a childhood dream for me, I will apply for a postgraduate program once I am done in 2 years, hopefully I master my nihongo by then

      falafeless You can apply for the internship in Japan. You need a bacholar degree or need to be an undergraduate student. I am planning my internship in Japan this fall at an animation studio because I have an animation degree. For my internship, knowing Japanese is a must because most animation studios dont have in house translater for English. The program has a list of internship that dosent required knowing Japanese.

    • @laperiphrase
      @laperiphrase 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      JaejoongPrincess Thank you for the information! Which program/list are you talking about? The mext scholarship, to my understanding, is not for internships. I speak some Japanese and am very eager to learn more, but I wouldn't be able to function in Japanese work contexts for sure.

      Im scared too about working in Japa becuase of my learning disability, but oppurtunity like this dont happen as much especially working in the animation industry. Everybody who worked in Japan tell me not to worry about it and how the Japanese people are extreamely nice. I am between N4 and N3. At the beginning of N3 level. Most people who do internship on the program spoke no Japanese at all.

    I just realized how unwise it was for me to gamble all I had on the tiny chance of being granted a MEXT scholarship. I didn't enroll into any other college, and now registrations for colleges in my school are no longer open. I'd have to wait until next year, if I don't get this scholarship, to continue my education.

      1. Learn your research by heart.
      2. Prepare sample questions that you may be asked (100% you will talk briefly about your research and about yourself in general)

    Hi! I was really inspired by most of your videos, I do plan on applying for the MEXT Undergraduate Scholarship but I would like to ask, does the transcript of records (your grades) affect your possibility rate to be granted the scholarship? Thanks for your consideration

    I got the mext scholarship for "specialized training college" and lived 3 years in Japan, then I went back home to go to uni but now I kinda wanna apply to mext again for my masters xD but it's weird for masters, you have to contact professors? so confusing lol, I guess I need to do more research about graduate studies in general xP

    Hi , your video has been really useful . But I have a question regarding the research student thingy when you look for the university, should they have a research program ? or it just depends on the masters they have available? Im confused .

    Hey, great video! I'm sorry for not asking this through twitter but I don't really use it.
    I actually got the same scholarship as you and I'll be going to Tokyo in October!
    In my case I don't know Japanese so my first 6 months will be towards learning the language.
    What I'd like to ask you is regarding the "research student" status.
    I believe that as I'm going in October I can remain as a "research student" for a total of 18 months (6 of those are language school) before applying for the masters program.
    Did you use all of the given time as a research student (24 months for April, 18 months October) and then applied to your masters or if not, did you not use the full time by choice?
    On another note, not sure if it's the type of video you'd like to make, but I'd love to see a video of you telling what you had to go through as soon as you landed (mext related).
    Regardless, thanks for the videos!
    Sorry about my rusty English.

    Is every research student evaluated the same way? I entered the MEXT website, and I just want to confirm this, they had past exam questions only for english and Japanese. So, are does the only topics they test you in for research students or are there any other topics like math, physics..etc?

    Hiii Kemushiii, I have stuff I wanna ask ya....I just came from watching ur other videos....so the questions here are kind a mix of different topics
    1. If I want to study in Japan for university and to learn the language at a language school, should I apply to the university I want to go after I finished language school or apply and take gap year for it instead?
    2. I'm still a bit confused about the tax thingy for the second year living in Japan related to the part- time thing u mentioned in ur other vids... Can you elaborate on it more? or is there are an existing video talking it?
    3. Do you think language school is worth it? Should I like complete N5 or N4 on my own first and just learn the rest in Japan for a year?
    4. Tips on renting in Japan? Does most furniture comes with the apartment? (I'm worried one day I come there and only to meet an empty room 😅)
    5. For scholarship should I apply after going to language school?
    These are my question for now....Thanks if u see this and answer it 🙏

    Because for example I chose Information Engineering as first choice because I want to pursue computer science but the other majors have 0 relation with computer science.
    I don't know if I should put other majors just to fill out the empty space.

    Hello! I have a very important question because my case is a little different. So I dropped out of high school my senior year but completed the rest of my high school education through a GED or in my case, a HiSET diploma which looks the same as a high school diploma. Would Japanese colleges still accept me if my resume looks good, I've done a lot of volunteer work etc and got a high score on my HiSET test? Same question applies for the MEXT scholarship..

    Hey! My name is Evy and I'm from the Netherlands and I'm currently debating whether to apply for the MEXT or not. I'm currently in high school and I'm doubting between the Undergraduate scholarship or the Japanese Studies one. I still have a lot of questions but I'm planning on visiting the Japanese Ambassade in my country upcoming monday. Would it hurt my application if I would ask them a lot of more basic questions and spoke out my uncertaincies about applying to which scholarship?

I want to work in digital marketing(social media etc…) but I don’t know if I should apply as an undergraduate or in “specialized” thing. Because in undergraduate program in MEXT I don’t thing there is a program for digital marketing. Should I apply in technology, in “specialized training college”?
