Teachers' vs. Students' Schedules

The Principal's Musings

"Okay, with this schedule, I can aim to pass the N3 exam!" The teachers prepare for their lessons with that in mind. However, when I asked the students about their schedules... "Teacher, I have a date today ❤️" "Didi and Vinaju have come to Kathmandu, so we're going sightseeing 📸" "I need to take my mother to the hospital 🏥" "I'm going back to the countryside to help with farm work 🌾" "We have Teej 💃" "This is Dashain 🙏" "This is Tihar 🪔" "Dai's wedding is coming up 💍" "It's my friend's birthday 🎂" "Tomorrow we're all going hiking ⛰️" ... You all seem busier than the principal! 🤣🤣🤣 Of course, the principal understands. Family is important. Friends are important too. Nepalese culture and festivals are also important. Even romance can become a precious memory in your life. ❤️ Studying isn't everything in life. I hope you'll cherish the time you spend with your family, the time you laugh with your friends, and the experiences you can only have when you're young. But please don't forget one thing. Studying Japanese is, "I'm busy today, so tomorrow." "I have plans this week, so next week." "After Dashain's performance." "After Tihar is finished." "After the wedding." ...If you keep putting it off like that, before you know it, you'll run out of time. In Japanese, you can't say "Let's do it again next year!" like you can at a wedding. 😂 We have received feedback from students who went to Japan. "I wish I had studied Japanese more while I was in Nepal." I've heard that phrase many times. If you go to Japan, you'll have opportunities to use Japanese almost every day. When listening to instructions from your boss at work. When talking with a colleague. When shopping. When riding the train. When going to the government office. When going to the hospital. When something goes wrong. And when you want to convey your thoughts and feelings to someone. At times like these, one of the greatest forces that ultimately helps me is the Japanese language. If you understand Japanese, you can understand the job description. You can express your opinion. Communication with Japanese people will also improve. Your career options will also increase. And your future possibilities will expand. So everyone, Please play. Let's go on a date too! 😄 Have a great time with your friends. Enjoy Teej, Dashain, and Tihar. Please cherish the time you spend with your family. However, among those plans, "Time to study Japanese" Please be sure to include it. There are 24 hours in a day. Even just two hours of that time would be fine. Why not make time for Japanese language learning for your future self? Today's two hours may seem very short. But if you consistently spend those two hours every day, it will make a huge difference in a month, six months, or a year. And when I went to Japan, "I'm so glad I studied back then." That day will surely come. The principal has a request for all students. Before writing "Date❤️" in your schedule book, "Japanese Class 📚" Please write that too. 🤣

And don't be satisfied just because you've passed the N4 exam. N4 is not the goal. To live and work in Japan and broaden your future, I strongly encourage you to aim for the N3 level. Instead of regretting it after going to Japan, Before going to Japan, make sure you prepare as much as possible. The effort you put in today will shape your future self. Hayabusa Japanese Language School aims to help you not only "go to Japan," but also "To succeed after going to Japan" I'm rooting for them. Let's work hard together! ✈️🇯🇵 From the principal of Hayabusa Japanese Language School 😊
