At Beijing Language and Culture University Tokyo, I have the advantage of being able to study not only Japanese and Chinese, but also English while living in Japan, and I can meet and interact with people of many different nationalities. I would like to use my experience at this university and my language skills to go out into the world.
Mr. Jeong (Korea)
I was born and raised in the U.S. and spoke Cantonese with my overseas Chinese parents, so I could hardly speak Chinese. However, as a result of studying Chinese at BLCU, I was able to pass HSK level 5 in my second year. From now on, I can speak Chinese with my relatives in China. In the future, I would like to work for a telecommunications company in Japan, making use of my multilingual skills.

I studied Japanese and Chinese at the Tokyo School for one year and then went to the Beijing School to study abroad.
