学期終了 The Autumn term has been over.

10月12日から約5ヵ月間続いた秋学期も、3月16日をもって終了しました。学生たちは、5か月という短い期間ではありましたが、それぞれ一生懸命日本語学習に取り組み、ゼロ初級だった学生たちも今では日本語で立派にコミュニケーションがとれるまでになりました！大学や専門学校に進学した学生、今期で帰国してしまう学生、来期も日本語センターで勉強を続ける学生等、進路は様々です。春は出会いと別れの季節、別れを惜しむ気持ちはもちろんありますが、同時に新しい出会いが楽しみでもあります。すべての学生たちにエールを送りたいと思います。

The Autumn term ended on March 16th. Students have been studying Japanese very hard since last October. Even though it was only 5 months, they have made lots of progress! Even students who was complete beginners at first can now communicate with Japanese people only in Japanese! That is absolutely awesome.

From April, some students go to university or college, some are going back to their country and others continue to study at Nihongo center. People move on in this time of the year. Farewell is always sad, but it is also nice to meet new people! I wish all the students all the best in their lives!
