Well, i think 95% of americans who like japan are the ones who only want to go for anime lol.
I was shocked though that my consulate said that 12 people apply a year(just at my consulate since there are several here). Cause here in america, most people who like japanese dont want to go through the hard work learning it, they just want to know it.
the age range is 17-22 and im assuming that people already in college wont apply. I think most people here go to college straight out of high school or take a year off. As just a guess, the majority of applicants are 18-19, and i really dont think many people will apply.
I wonder what they'd think of people who say they like anime..as long as you don't come off as obsessed it should be oj,right?
[MENTION=62693]Brendz[/MENTION] the scholarship age range is meant to appeal for students who are about to graduate high school. And keep in mind this about america:
We dont have lots of japanese speakers/classes/tutors(any really good ones that can be of big help with the exam at least)
And really, all the applicants im sure are having to cram for these exams.
I read a while back that there were like 80 sitting for the exam in another country
The lady at my embassy said we get 2-3 applicants every year and last year wss the first time a Greek person got it so the fewer applicants,the better for us ^^
Nice! :O It'll surely come in handy.. :3
If you're up to it,please do! It'd be useful :3
Do you guys have any tips on how to progress quickly in algebra? ^^;
If you guys want we could make a chatroom in Line to practice our japanese, math,etc.
I never really learned japanese from books. I learned mostly from the internet and talking to japanese people. There are some japanese books i want but its so expensiiiiivvvee. not really, but the fact is i just dont have money.
And algebra? hmm, algebra always looks scary when you cant do it. but it usually turns out to be simpler than it appears.
Once again, Brendz and Squishy, we could make a chatroom in Line to practice this stuff. I think we would progress far since there are 3 brains
Sure ill try my best to send it......sorry cant help Maths is my Kryptonite.
Yeah sounds good, I was actually beginning to get worried that people would get angry as we are filling up the forum......
With numbers like that for America there is no hope for South Africa I only found it by accident so i'm likely to be one of maybe three.....plus i've tried motivating people to take this opportunity but most are like "you gonna stay there so long by the time you come back you'll have squinted eyes" and think i'm crazy. Dont know why its like this?
