Welcome to my day in the life of a Japanese Lanaguage student in Kyoto vlog of studying with genkijacs. I am so glad to be able to learn in Japan. It was a last minute decision to study in Japan, but I am such a nerd for the Japanese language, that I decided to study with GenkiJacs's Japanese language school to learn and study Japanese. Studying in Japan with GenkiJacs Japanese language school in Kyoto has been a wonderful experience and I have learned a lot.

This is the school I'm planning on picking for a year. I'm so thankful for this video giving me more in depth insight to how the school and trips are like. I'll check out your other videos for sure!
Me and my friend and moving and going to language school next year so this is really helpful thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you liked the video 😊
really nice vlog! 😊✨
brings back memories ❤
楽しかったね
Wow, Kyoto is sooo packed haha
It’s not always as crowded, it’s because it’s the week of the new year when this was taken.
Have you heard anything about the Tokyo Location? In theory my friend should be attending their 6 months course but is worried about it being legit 😂
For real though, they are ✨stressing✨
You can check out the GenkiJacs Instagram. I’ve been to both the Fukuoka and Kyoto branch and they were pretty amazing in teaching the students. So I would imagine, that the Tokyo branch is great also. I would say, check GenkiJacs official videos, google reviews and the Instagram they have.
I wish Kanji was a separate module. I would definitely skip Kanji if I could. Writing In japanese has no practical use. Anything you type is auto translated. I just need to learn to speak this language
I can see that is true. It really depends on what your goal is. For passing the JLPT you would need to study kanji because it is highly needed even in Tokyo where many speak English. If your goal is to be able to speak with people that’s fine also, I know someone who can speak fluent Japanese but not fluent in kanji. They are able to speak and socialize with locals.
頑張ってね
Oooo I really want to study there too! Would you say they have big portions of speaking japanese in classes? or only when u pay for extra conversational classes? I'm really worried about that. In my uni we focused on jlpt, so my talking skills are very poor.
They have conversation specific classes where they focus on making you speak open ended. I ended up doing that class and it was very good for my speaking skills. Of course they have the main Japanese classes, where you do practice speaking to, but with the conversational class, we had more time to talk longer and more comprehensively.
@@halfasianrose that's amazing, definitely adding that. Do you happen to know if one can request these classes at any time or is it needed to add them beforehand?
Hmm, it also depends on the availability or how many student availing the class also. For my conversation class I was with one other student. So just 2 students of the same level and same Japanese class. You might want to ask the GenkiJacs more about this.
I’m trying to self-study Japanese and I’m really struggling with kanji. I’m CONSTANTLY thinking: why do they need kanji at all when they already have hiragana and katakana? Why do you need a complicated symbol for every single word in your language? Can you please talk to them and get them to stop using kanji? It would make the learning process 99.99% faster, less complicated and less infuriating.
I get the struggle I recently took the JLPT N3 and Kanji was my weakness. But idk the longer you study, the fun it gets seeing that you can remember and write all those complicated strokes 😁
Multiple words have the same pronunciation, meaning it can get confusing if you don't show which word you mean
Are the outside school activities frequent? and do we have school trips too? I'd love to hike mountains w students
If you sign up for the cultural or pop culture classes, there are tours, field trips with other students of different level classes on Friday or Saturday if I remember right. If I remember you can also sign up for free activities that show up, but you need to look at the event board. Either there’s a fee, but I remember that there was one event that was free for all students.
They also had a Christmas gift exchange party, but this is the one in Kyoto. I’m not sure what the other campuses do or have. You should check the website.
May I ask you if they also requested payment upfront? I’ve never seen this before so I was wondering if it’s normal? Also, did you sign a contract?
You might need to email them for the details. If you go to the website and inquire about this when taking the survey on what type of classes and where. They will email you back with details
@@halfasianrose thank you! I wanted to check with other students if they had the same experience since I'm overseas and can't truly verify if they're trustable as I can't visit their headquarters as of now and It would be great to hear from someone who has already been there, that's why I was asking about contracts and payment method... It's very weird to me that they want everything upfront and didn't show me a contract yet, same for sharehouses that want us to pay upfront and only make a contract once you arrive in Japan (sending money before a contract?? I feel it's so weird!!). Since I'm not in japan, I'd love to hear about these things from someone who has gone through these experiences
I’ve been to both there fukuoka and Kyoto branch. Both were amazing.
also!! Did u contact genkijacs by your own or did you have the help of a middlemen?
You contact them thought the website directly and inquire and do the survey and they will email you and walk you thought the process.
Are you still obligated to wear masks these days in Japan?
Since December 2022, you do not need to wear a mask. The mask regulations are lifted since then. But you will still see a lot of people wearing them from what I saw in May.
