Hey guys, I reallize this might not be a good place to ask, but... anyone know of a good online japanese teacher I can contact for classes while we wait to go to Japan?
I recently moved to, like, NOWHERE, and there are no schools, communities, nothing where I can practice the little Japanese I know, and I don't want to forget it.
Thanks!
Hello, this is my first post in this forum.
I wanted to congratulate everyone who got the final confirmation from the embassy. I also got mine today. I'm going to enter the Master's course in the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences of UTokyo. I also applied for the dormitories in Komaba. Anyone else going there?
Nice. If I may ask, what's your research about? Kyoto was one of my options too, but I couldn't find a teacher interested on my research.Congratulations and welcome to the forum!
So far, you are the first one that I have encountered to say that is going to enter the Master's course in Mathematical Sciences. I am as well, but in Graduate School of Science at Kyoto University.

Congratulations to those who got their MEXT confirmation and university placement! The long wait is over. Cheers!
Hello niconico12, though I have yet to receive MEXT confirmation regarding the scholarship, I got an email instruction from U Tokyo student services to apply for a dormitory slot. If all goes well, I guess I'll see you in Komaba this April! Komaba International Lodge is at a very strategic location. 2 stations west there is shimokitazawa known for cheap clothes, good food and hipster vibe. 2 stations east is Shibuya (no further explanation needed). And Shinjuku station is just 160yen, 16mins away. The only issue I have with Komaba is it's way too expensive for a dorm. I envy those in Meidai, they're only paying 18k yen for a really nice dorm. >_<
(I stayed in Komaba for a couple of weeks when I got a fellowship 2 years ago).
So, everyone, let me share something to get your opinion on the matter.
Yesterday I sent an email to the local consulate, in order to assess whether I passed or not this final stage. I learned that the person in charge is on vacation, and her substitute replied my email. She didn't give me a straight confirmation like "it's over, you've passed", but told me that "the university had accepted you, and the person in charge will let you know of details regarding the pledge as soon as she returns. Please await two more weeks".
I'm hesitant to interpret this as the final confirmation, but surely sounds like it. Do any of you know whether the university acceptance may be considered said confirmation? I didn't want to ask further questions, as she had supposedly already answered me.
Other than that, congrats to everyone that has received this confirmation. A new time of our lives (mine included, hopefully) begins!
I do have a prospective supervisor in the research field of Algebraic Geometry (the idea of Arakelov Geometry). What about you?Nice. If I may ask, what's your research about? Kyoto was one of my options too, but I couldn't find a teacher interested on my research.
Good thing that you sent that e-mail. I did send my embassy an e-mail asking about the final information on the scholarship and the person in charge wasn't on vacation but similarly like in your case she did tell me that the final result will be in two weeks. The final decision came to me the very next day! Objectively speaking I think that the good news will come to you as soon as your person in charge in the embassy returns from vacation.
I really hope you are right, man.
Maybe now it would be an appropriate moment to create a group in a social media, as previously suggested.
Hello every one,
Happy to see all of you got an acceptance, I also had email from embassy.
i'm going to Nagoya institute of Technology, any one around !!
@Frida so happy for you
congratz every one
Hi @AruanMNagoya here! Not confirmed yet, but since it was my only LoA, it is most likely that if accepted I will be sent to Nagoya University. What's your field of study?
I'm going to Tsukuba! Although I'll be studying in the Engineering Faculty, I'm a Business graduate. My professor there is a Marketing specialist, and if I am admitted (and Monbusho accepts my request to proceed to Master's) I will be going to Tsukuba MBATsukuba here I come~. Anyone else going there in April? (I'll be studying Japanese linguistics.)
You might have written it before, but what are your choices indojin? Did you put any you're not too happy about? If not, at this point there's nothing to be unhappy aboutNo news yet. Still waiting
Keep cool, man. Your previous confirmation took some time as well, right? It'll be OK, you'll see.No news yet. Still waiting
jKeep cool, man. Your previous confirmation took some time as well, right? It'll be OK, you'll see.
As for making that group, does everyone here use FB? I have deleted mine a couple of years ago, but if necessary I'd reactivate it.
I'll be studying Mathematical Physics. Pauli and Schrodinger Operators.I do have a prospective supervisor in the research field of Algebraic Geometry (the idea of Arakelov Geometry). What about you?
You had a 3 year's bachelor's degree too right? I assume you were in a Master's course in your university this year? Is it okay for you to withdraw from your current university?Thank you all for your kind words and for the language learning recommendations.
I have just withdrawn from my current university and... well.. there is no going back now!
Thanks haha and yes, i'l try to calm downKeep cool, man. Your previous confirmation took some time as well, right? It'll be OK, you'll see.

Hi, i'm happy with both my choices, its just that its getting a bit scary with everyone receiving their results and stuff lolYou might have written it before, but what are your choices indojin? Did you put any you're not too happy about? If not, at this point there's nothing to be unhappy aboutyou can just check 3 universities' dorms and fantasize where you'll be put.
If there's any you're not too happy about, you're in my situation, but think about this: even if you don't get your first choice, you're still gonna have an awesome time! And if you're too unhappy there, you can try switching schools (it is not 100% prohibited).
