Thanks for sharing your insights and tips. I'm thinking of taking a short course in Japan, particularly the language and culture. You must be fluent already.
I'm so glad I found your channel po ^^ I was planning to prepare everything by myself to live there, but it seems impossible since I need a sponsorship haha. Also, do you think po ba na it's possible to apply for art school there? I was contemplating about this asdfklj
I'm really curious to find out why your english skllis are so AMAZING, like really native-sound-like. Also what you were studying and doing in PH in the prior years (before 25) of you going to live in Japan, you give a very experienced and professional vibe, like someone who did many different things in life.
This is a very informative video! If you don't mind, I would like to ask if you are planning to work in Japan? Will your degree from the PH be enough foe your planned job? I am planning to study the language as well and eventually work there as an accountant (which is challenging as it is not as in demand as other jobs) thank you in advance! :)
Asteria Thank you! Please feel to share this video. :) As for the degree, its INTEGRAL you have it to qualify for a working visa regardless of the field you'll choose to enter. What matters the most apart from that would be your language level in Japanese :) N2 is good but N1 is ideal!
Hi! Do you recommend jellyfish ph? I’m planning to go there by gogonihon have you heard of it? If yes why didnt you try gogonihon instead before? Thanks im a new subscriber!
Hi! I decided to go with Jellyfish only because I knew and trusted someone who went through them so it felt less scary. GogoNihon and GaijinPot study are also quite popular but I dont have any first hand experience so I recommended the one I used personally. Thank you for your comment!
Hello! I wrote my N5 and i want to apply for the October course in a japanese language school in Tokyo. I was just Curious... Does the Language School give some kind of Accomodation to students? And also after coming to japan, did you directly go to the School or Did you have to get like a hotel or somewhere? And hope you did your JLPT well👍
Tapi Niichi hello so sorry for the late reply. Sometimes theres a dorm but it really depends on each school. As for me I stayed with a friend then my sharehouse :)
Hello Heido! Need your advise re paying tuition from PH to JP school bank account. How did you do it? Did you buy Yen first then processed transfer in your local bank? What do you think will help you save more in terms of transfer fees/forex? Thanks much!
Thank you for your video I got almost all the answers of my questions. But there is one more question after taking the COE from Japanese imigration in how much time you will take your passport with visa
Un- Listed Hello! I think April 2021 might be a better time to apply since things are so uncertain right now. They've cancelled huge summer events so 🥺 Again, its just my opinion. :)
@@heidisarol Ah now you've mentioned it, you're actually right. I am 21 and I hate how I am hurrying things without proper thinking. I'll do that and it looks like I need to save more 🤣
PHP 300,000 per year is like, JPY 600,000ish, right? That's quite affordable for a school in tokyo. I really want to know the school name but I respect your privacy :)
Hi Cezanne, If they asked you to revise your reason for studying maybe therye looking for a more practical or detailed reason why you want to learn Japanese like if youll be using it for work or further studies etc :)
Hello, I discovered your channel because I am lately thinking about learning Japanese in Japan. Thank you for all the informations you are sharing with us. I am doing my researches and wanted to ask you about the part time job rules. Would working as a freelancer be considered as an infringement to the rules? I am trying to transition into self employment and wanted to know if I would have to stop my freelance job to be able to realize this dream of living in Japan even for a little while. Thank you again :)
Hi! I have aunt who is working in japan now and she will enroll me at a japanese language school directly there. Is it necessary to have an agency/third party to be able to study nihongo in japan and to get a student visa?
From what ive gathered online, some schools will help you find a part time job. It also sounded like it's pretty easy to find a part time job especially if you have good command of the English language.
@@usucktoo Yes! Schools help find students part-time jobs. I would suggest looking for a part-time job that would need you to use Japanese though. Looking back, it would have been better to work at a cafe since I'd be forced to use whatever Japanese I knew. :')
Hi Ms. Heidi, found an article about you on candymag and glad to have subscribed on your channel, I even followed you on ig haha. This is inspiring! Thanks for this very informative vlog, looking forward to more. Hope you'll share your winter experience as well this year (if you're still there). ⛄ おめでとう on your graduation (as I read from the comment) 🎉🎉 I haven't watched your other vlogs yet so I don't know, just want to ask 1. Did you took your JLPT N5 in Japan or in PH? 2. Are you still there in Japan even if you're already finished with your schooling? or are you currently enrolled again and continuing your studies to more advanced level? がんばってください!
Hi Mariquita! Thanks for your comment! 🥰❤️ Yes I'm still in Japan. I'm working as an English teacher. To answer your other question, no I didn't take N5 :) I just had to show my school a certificate that said I completed 150 hours of Japanese.
Hi ルイエ, I believe she mentioned in some of these comments that she took an N5 course from Jellyfish foundation which issued her a certificate of completion. :)
Hi Trixie, I personally didnt have mine authenticated but the circumstances might have changed so it would be better to consult with the school or agency directly. Thank you!
The best way I can learn the Japanese language is with the alphabets as the pronunciations and not the Japanese characters. I traveled to Japan in November 2015 and its an amazing country. I had my translator with me because not a lot of people know how to speak the English language, but I did have my smartphone as my translator. I am more used to learning languages that utilize the alphabet because I am only fluent in English. How was learning the Japanese language like when you had to draw the characters and not using the alphabet?
Hi! Followed your vids and applied to Jellyfish, and now in the process for getting my documents(Uggggh). Would just like to ask, a part of the requirement is a certificate from tuberculosis., how did you manage to get this?
I really want to be a cpa in japan in the future, However I don't think we're financially equipped. Is there any way I can study and work in japan if I try to work at a Japanese Company in the philippines?
Aian Asilo Hi Aian, Im afraid I cant say much considering I dont work in that industry. What I can say though is that if you want to work here itd be much better to start learning Japanese asap :)
@@heidisarol Yes thank you, I'll be prepared:))) btw I do like your content, I haven't watched all of them tho. qnd stay tuned I might be asking more questions soo... sorry😅😍
I'm planning to go to Japan to study automobile vehicles, but the problem I don't have a sponsor and i dont even know how to make it possible. When i go back to Philippines maybe i can try to inquire (I'm an ofw as os late)
Hi! I hope you will notice my comment. I am currently studying Nihongo sa Jellyfish din. Next week will be our "exam" na, I am very nervous about it. huhu. Are they going to give you a certificate kahit po di maka pass sa exam? Feel ko talaga kasi na di enough yung mga na learn ko kasi ang hirap T_T
Hi Keimchi! :) Awesome! Kayang kaya mo yan don't worry the staff at Jellyfish are there to help you and I'm sure you'll do well. Just review previous quizzes and you should be fine
aside from family and blood relatives what do you think is another good way to find a sponsor, since a million sounds too hard to earn? we're not really that rich
Norbert Nicolas keep in mind that it’s php 1,000,000 which is around 20,000 US dollar. It’s still a huge amount of money but if you work part time and save money for months/years then i think it definitely would be possible to afford it.
If your English is good, you can go to Japan through the JET program or other ALT agencies (interact, bison, heart). If you are not confident about teaching English, there are "internships" where you basically go to a vocational school in the Phils, or go through an agency (like jellyfish and dove) and if you pass the training you'll be sent to Japan to work for up to 3 years.
This is an odd question, if you don't have an answer maybe you know people who do, like who you've lived with for example. But if you come to study, and you pay for the guest house, the tuition and so on, what happens with things like rent, or wanting to study for an additional year? As I have nobody to sponsor me. Would working be a doable way to earn enough over that year, if its even possible?
Pretty difficult to balance honestly :( The curriculum at language school is to help you learn as fast as you can so if you focus on only studying and working you might not have enough time to go out with friends or explore. It was always a bit tricky to manage tbh :(
Hi, I'm planning po na mag study ng nihongo in japan, pano po pag di pa graduate ng college, wala pa pong bachelors degree, di po ba nila inaacept? Sana ma answer po tong question ko, thank you :)
"certificate of eligibility" is one of those phrases where, even the queen would have had to take a second to prepare herself for that. You looked so proud when you smashed it out! It was adorable.
Hi! I hope you could reply hehe my mom is a Japanese citizen, is it better if i directly enroll in language school or just go with the agency? and may i know which language school could u recommend hehe thank you so much 😊🤍
Hi BK! If your mom can attend to your language school enrollment it might be cheaper for you although some language schools require application through an agency :) Let me know how it goes! Best of luck 💖💓
I wonder how hard it is to get accepted in a Language school because I just turned 30 and I actually never went to college (I immediately started working right after HS) Recently I thought about going back to school and actually learn something but I don’t have any inspiration and since I’m a huge fan of Japan, I thought I could go there, learn the language and find something I actually I want to do in my life
Thank You for the video po ate... new subscriber here po I was just gonna ask if I graduate from a japanese language school will I be able to continue my Senior Highschool in there? My mom lives in Japan and wanted me to continue my schooling there but what if I can master Japanese by myself, is it still required to go and graduate from a language school
Hi Mark! Thank you for watching. Attending a language school as far as I know is not a requirement to go to high school. I think what may help your case is if you talk to the school directly although I'm not sure if they can sponsor your visa. If you can get to N1 by yourself it would make adjusting to life in Japan easier I think. Although you should also focus on output as much as you do input. :) Just my opinion! Better to ask the actual high school.
Hi mam new subscriber po I’m planning to study in Japan after my working visa finished I have a question po regarding on my diploma do you think I’m eligible to study at language school even I’m not graduate on Kto12 system I’m only graduated on high school old curriculum 😢please enlighten me mam I have school narin po napaginquire and my big thoughts if I’m eligible even I’m not 12 years graduated
Thanks mam napaka responsive nio po I hope more followers on your channel all your vlogs is so informative sa mga katulad naming mraming what ifs ? thank you so much po and more power to your career❤️
hello po ate. i want to ask lang po kasi i really want to study in Japan and my dad is a Japanese citizen, he lives and work in Tokyo, so i just want to know whether it's better to still apply for an agency or just let my dad look for a language school in tokyo for me.
Mam, thank you so much for sharing informative news 🙏I'm following you regularly because Even I'm planning to study Japanese language in September 2023 intake and then wanted to study master's in Artificial intelligence 🙏 Could you please say me that Germany vs Japan which is best to settle mam 🙏🇮🇳🙏
Hello po, been following your videos because I’m planning to study also in Japan Language school. I signed the contract with Jellyfish already. I will undergo nihonggo class for 170 hrs. Hoping that Japan will open there boarders next year and hopefully I will get my COE and approved visa. For the sponsor it will be my Auntie and I hope its fine. Im currently working in a bank for 6 years and I will quit soon to focus with nihonggo class. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless
@@nomansaleem3064 Hi, may I know if you applied with the advised 1M in the bank? I think jelly mentioned it can be 800k at least but I don't feel confident ever since I watched Heidi's video that it requires 1M. Hope you reply, thank youu
@@popurica7253 no! I had 2M yen in account they gave me detail but its different its about japanese certificate should pe montioned at least 150 hour, short spelling mistake in bank statemnt,
@@nomansaleem3064 I see, thank you for your reply. It's helpful to know that those things need double checking. Hoping for the best on your next application if you still plan to. Thanks!
Hi Liezl! I think it depends on you. Baka mas mabuti kung 2022 nalang para mas safe. Japan closed its borders again and tumataas yung rate of infection dito so, to be safe it might be better to push it back.
I see. Actually nkapagpsa na ako ng papers sa isa mga agencies here in Ph. Katulad ng sinabi mo sa vlog sobrang daming requirements and I’m losing hope na especially sa sponsor’s documents and fees na rin. Anyway, ingat jan sa Japan. Maybe I’ll just push back nalng my application. Thank you for your reply. Super appreciated. God bless!
Hi Heidi! I also applied through Jellyfish and I'm currently studying Japanese before I (hopefully) go to Japan this October. Thank you so much for the informative video. I hope I can get that COE I'm kinda worried about that part haha. Anyway, god bless and hope I'll see more videos! 😊
How many years did you have to attend language school? Have you heard about shinjuku heiwa language school which is in Tokyo I’m preparing to go to JPN and attend language school but I’m not sure which school do I have to choose. BTW, I will be 19 in 2022.
Hi, I am currently applying sa Jellyfish. I already had my documents checked by the agency but there's one problem we encountered. Upon checking my aunt's income they said that it isn't enough to sponsor my study, so now we are trying to find solution to this problem. Do you think it's possible to get two sponsors? Will it be a reason for me to get denied of COE? Huhu it's super stressful. I hope you see my comment. Thank you! God speed 🙏😊
Hi Iris! Thanks for your comment. I'm in no position to give advice since I haven't been in your position nor do I work for Japanese immigration but what I can say from my experience is that it might be best to find one sponsor in close relation to you who can be the sole sponsor :) Don't stress about it too much Jellyfish is there to help. Good luck and please keep me updated!
@@heidisarol Thank you so much for responding. We talked to the japanese staff and they said that it's okay to have two sponsors as long as they're relatives. They allowed my aunt and her husband, they're currently residing in Japan. Hope it all goes well 🙏
Clare Dela Rosa hi Clare, thanks for your question :) I think its highly advantageous if you have N5! Its a great stepping stone. Jellyfish issued a certificate for me confirming the hours I put in since I didn't take the JLPT at that point.
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.
Followed the tips on this vid, and I got my certificate of eligibility for Japan even though I was above 30+ years old! Still waiting to enter because of the entry ban, but thanks! So excited.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU TRISTAN!! :) Hope the borders open soon. ☺️💖

I wonder how hard it is to get accepted in a Language school because I just turned 30 and I actually never went to college (I immediately started working right after HS)
Recently I thought about going back to school and actually learn something but I don’t have any inspiration and since I’m a huge fan of Japan, I thought I could go there, learn the language and find something I actually I want to do in my life
Hi! I think it would be best to ask the language school directly :)
Thank youuu ♥️
Z Tn Hope this helped! Please feel free to share :)
Hello! Need pa po ba na mag take ng N5 bago ka makapag enroll sa language school? Thank you! 😊
Hi po best if napass niyo na po yung N5 :)
Thank You for the video po ate... new subscriber here po
I was just gonna ask if I graduate from a japanese language school will I be able to continue my Senior Highschool in there? My mom lives in Japan and wanted me to continue my schooling there but what if I can master Japanese by myself, is it still required to go and graduate from a language school
Hi Mark! Thank you for watching.
Attending a language school as far as I know is not a requirement to go to high school. I think what may help your case is if you talk to the school directly although I'm not sure if they can sponsor your visa. If you can get to N1 by yourself it would make adjusting to life in Japan easier I think. Although you should also focus on output as much as you do input. :)
Just my opinion! Better to ask the actual high school.
@@heidisarol Thank you po for your time and effort :)
Kaya mo yan! がんばれ！
Hi mam new subscriber po I’m planning to study in Japan after my working visa finished I have a question po regarding on my diploma do you think I’m eligible to study at language school even I’m not graduate on Kto12 system I’m only graduated on high school old curriculum 😢please enlighten me mam I have school narin po napaginquire and my big thoughts if I’m eligible even I’m not 12 years graduated
Hi po! I think it may be better to discuss this with the school mismo since I don't have any experience with that :(
Thanks mam napaka responsive nio po I hope more followers on your channel all your vlogs is so informative sa mga katulad naming mraming what ifs ? thank you so much po and more power to your career❤️
@@cjct.v1215 Thank you rin po sa pag subscribe :) 💖🫶
hello po ate. i want to ask lang po kasi i really want to study in Japan and my dad is a Japanese citizen, he lives and work in Tokyo, so i just want to know whether it's better to still apply for an agency or just let my dad look for a language school in tokyo for me.
Hello! If your dad is a Japanese citizen it may be easier to apply with his help instead. I recommend UJS :)
@@heidisarol thanks ate! i really appreciate the reply.
Ofcourse!!! 🥰💓💘
Mam, thank you so much for sharing informative news 🙏I'm following you regularly because Even I'm planning to study Japanese language in September 2023 intake and then wanted to study master's in Artificial intelligence 🙏 Could you please say me that Germany vs Japan which is best to settle mam 🙏🇮🇳🙏
Hi! Thanks for your comment. I have never been to Europe so I can't say much about where to settle down. :(
What’s your advice for people from foreigners taking a master’s degree in japan? - i’m from the Philippines
Its always a plus if you study Japanese :)
What part time jobs did you take while studying there?
Can v find part time jobs in Japanese with out know much. About Japanese I apply for tochigi
Yes you can. I first worked as hall staff in a restaurant before I found an office part time job :)
Maybe tone it down on the background music. I can barely hear you
have at least 1,000000 hmmm....I think study to japan will only be a dream
Can i reach out to you? If ever i have some questions? 🥲 btw, your videos are so helpful, and great.
Hello po, been following your videos because I’m planning to study also in Japan Language school. I signed the contract with Jellyfish already. I will undergo nihonggo class for 170 hrs. Hoping that Japan will open there boarders next year and hopefully I will get my COE and approved visa.
For the sponsor it will be my Auntie and I hope its fine. Im currently working in a bank for 6 years and I will quit soon to focus with nihonggo class. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless
You can do it Hannah!!! I hope your visa will be approved. Good luck and all the best! ☺️😍💓
Hi, was just wondering if you pushed through, and how was it? :) I am talking with Jellyfish currently.
@@scarasmooches yes Im here in Japan already since last year. Thanks to Jellyfish. im still a student now. ☺️
@@HannahImamura thank you for the response! how long is your program po?
@@scarasmooches 1 year and 9 months po 🤗 july batch po kasi ako.
when will you get your Naturalization?
Haha I hope to reach PR status but it takes 10 years in Japan or so I've heard. :)
Thanks for sharing! Yung salary ba nung part-time job enough for the monthly expenses? Do you need to find a job before the student visa expires?
Hi po it depends on how you spend your money. For me nakaya kahit paano haha pero super tipid po. To answer your second q, yes, ideally :)
I applied for april session im waiting for coe. I also submitted all documents from october . Its really lengthy process
How did it go! I hope you got it :)
@@heidisarol no! Its denied. Im waiting for reason.
@@nomansaleem3064 Hi, may I know if you applied with the advised 1M in the bank? I think jelly mentioned it can be 800k at least but I don't feel confident ever since I watched Heidi's video that it requires 1M. Hope you reply, thank youu
@@popurica7253 no! I had 2M yen in account they gave me detail but its different its about japanese certificate should pe montioned at least 150 hour, short spelling mistake in bank statemnt,
@@nomansaleem3064 I see, thank you for your reply. It's helpful to know that those things need double checking. Hoping for the best on your next application if you still plan to. Thanks!
Is it required to pass N5 first before going to Japan?
Nope! I think you just need 150 hours of Japanese studies :) I took N4 when I got here
Hello Heidi!
Worth it ba mag apply ng student visa this year? Makakahanap kya agad ng part time job. Lalo na at pandemic
Hi Liezl! I think it depends on you. Baka mas mabuti kung 2022 nalang para mas safe. Japan closed its borders again and tumataas yung rate of infection dito so, to be safe it might be better to push it back.
I see. Actually nkapagpsa na ako ng papers sa isa mga agencies here in Ph. Katulad ng sinabi mo sa vlog sobrang daming requirements and I’m losing hope na especially sa sponsor’s documents and fees na rin.
Anyway, ingat jan sa Japan. Maybe I’ll just push back nalng my application.
Thank you for your reply. Super appreciated. God bless!
Hope you can study here ! :) Oo sobrang dami at matagal yung waiting process.
Thanks for your comment! Stay safe.
Hi Heidi! I also applied through Jellyfish and I'm currently studying Japanese before I (hopefully) go to Japan this October. Thank you so much for the informative video. I hope I can get that COE I'm kinda worried about that part haha. Anyway, god bless and hope I'll see more videos! 😊
Did the October intake pushed through? (In line with our current pandemic situation)
How many years did you have to attend language school?
Have you heard about shinjuku heiwa language school which is in Tokyo
I’m preparing to go to JPN and attend language school but I’m not sure which school do I have to choose. BTW, I will be 19 in 2022.
Thanks for your comment! Depends on your program. Some schools offer 2 years.
No I haven't heard of it :(
makes 2 of us have the exact same stuff going on
nice!
Hi, I am currently applying sa Jellyfish. I already had my documents checked by the agency but there's one problem we encountered. Upon checking my aunt's income they said that it isn't enough to sponsor my study, so now we are trying to find solution to this problem. Do you think it's possible to get two sponsors? Will it be a reason for me to get denied of COE? Huhu it's super stressful. I hope you see my comment. Thank you! God speed 🙏😊
Hi Iris! Thanks for your comment. I'm in no position to give advice since I haven't been in your position nor do I work for Japanese immigration but what I can say from my experience is that it might be best to find one sponsor in close relation to you who can be the sole sponsor :) Don't stress about it too much Jellyfish is there to help. Good luck and please keep me updated!
@@heidisarol Thank you so much for responding. We talked to the japanese staff and they said that it's okay to have two sponsors as long as they're relatives. They allowed my aunt and her husband, they're currently residing in Japan. Hope it all goes well 🙏
Thats great to hear! Hope you get to come Iris! 頑張って👍
That's a lot :( I need to save more I guess
Do you need take the JLPT before applying for this or just have a background of studying Japanese beforehand?
Clare Dela Rosa hi Clare, thanks for your question :) I think its highly advantageous if you have N5! Its a great stepping stone. Jellyfish issued a certificate for me confirming the hours I put in since I didn't take the JLPT at that point.
Man, the music was so loud I couldn't hear anything 😩
Im so sorry!!! D: I should add subtitles...
@@heidisarol No problem. It got better 😀
im sorry but maybe next time u should lower the sound in the back
Your school name?
Her name is MIA Khalifa
Music is so irritating 😒
So, 99% of Filipinos will not qualify for this.
can you remove the background music please
Nxt time please fix the background sound it's so irritating, can't even understand what u r saying wind is too strong
Seriously!! Didn't understand what are you saying....
For me the BGM is quite okay but I think the volume needs to be lowered a bit. Or maybe don't use BGM at all
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.
