Hello to all who are reading this! My name is Jerome, a second-year student at Singapore\u2019s NTU. I began developing a strong interest in the Japanese language when I was in Junior College (Singapore\u2019s equivalent to high school in Japan). After self-studying the language from textbooks and online apps for two years before entering university, I figured that it was about time to apply what I had learnt in real-life situations. Therefore, I took chances whenever I could to practise my conversational Japanese – which included asking questions to my university\u2019s Japanese professors, chatting with native speakers on HelloTalk, and of course, participating in this programme. I thankfully managed to get paired with a partner – Haru! We first contacted each other via email, and from there, agreed to communicate solely through Instagram.<\/p>\n

I remember feeling quite nervous before my first call with Haru. I feared that we wouldn\u2019t connect well, or that the difference in language skills would make communication awkward. But those worries quickly faded. Haru\u2019s spoken English was exceptionally clear and comprehensible, and she spoke to me kindly and patiently. We even shared interests such as music and gaming! All of these reasons made communicating with her a breeze.<\/p>\n

We initially planned to split our hour-long weekly sessions into four 15-minute segments, alternating between communicating solely in English or Japanese, similar to the arrangement I have with my other language partners. However, we soon found ourselves naturally switching between both languages without strictly following this structure. We talked at great length regarding a variety of topics every session – life, school, music, games, and much more. Through doing so, we learnt more about each other\u2019s native languages, including everyday phrases and slang. Turning on our cameras to show our surroundings or to introduce our different friends and family members to each other also helped us generate more topics to keep the conversation flowing. We also understood that just talking all the time might become mundane quickly, so we\u2019d occasionally even play phone games together! It was a fun way to learn commands and directions in Japanese. All of these tactics helped to keep each session extremely engaging, and made me look forward to every call. Sometimes, we would be so engrossed in our conversations that we\u2019d go well over our planned time limit!<\/p>\n

In June this year, I went on a holiday to Tokyo with two of my university friends. I took this rare opportunity to meet up with Haru in real life in Waseda! Both my friends tagged along, and she brought two of her friends as well. After giving a short tour of Waseda\u2019s campus in the late afternoon, Haru and her friends brought us to Shin-Okubo for a Japanese-Korean fusion dinner. We all had a great time chatting about many topics over food and drink! Even those at the table who spoke only English or Japanese joined in enthusiastically, with Haru, myself, and one of her other friends translating as needed. The hours flew by, and after exchanging our gifts we bought for each other, we each went our separate ways.<\/p>\n

Our time together in person may have been brief, but it was incredibly meaningful. Through that short session, I made two new Japanese friends, gained more knowledge on Japanese culture and etiquette, and learnt even more slang words such as \u2018\u3042\u3056\u3059\u2019 (a slang for \u2018thank you\u2019)! Meeting Haru in real life added so much depth to our connection. It\u2019s far more enriching than only seeing \u00a0 through a screen, and opens up the possibility for more memorable and valuable interactions. So if you ever get the chance to meet your language partner in person, go for it!<\/p>\n

I strongly recommend this programme for anyone who wants to take their Japanese learning to the next level! The signup and pairing process was hassle-free, and it fit perfectly into my schedule without taking up too much extra time. The hands-off approach from the school also allowed our conversations to develop naturally, so they never felt like a chore. Plus, there\u2019s so much you can learn from real conversations that textbooks just can\u2019t teach.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m incredibly grateful to Waseda for giving me the opportunity to make new friends I can practise my Japanese with, and for boosting my confidence in speaking the language. Only by stepping outside my comfort zone did I manage to meet Haru and the rest of my wonderful Japanese friends. Even though the exchange period is over already, I\u2019m glad our weekly calls are still ongoing. I guess there\u2019s just too much we want to talk about and learn from each other! Here\u2019s to a long-lasting friendship!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Thank you for the new friendship!<\/h3>\n

I participated in the Japanese-English Online Exchange Program (Spring 2024) where I was able to meet a new friend, Wang Yu Ting.<\/p>\n

Throughout the few months, we communicated with each other through Instagram chat and Zoom. We also had the opportunity to meet in Tokyo when I was in Japan in June and November!<\/p>\n

I like that the program provided topics and suggestions for us to begin our communication. These helped to break the ice between us when the program first started. I think the program can be enhanced by having online workshop where the Japanese students as well as the oversea students share about their culture and countries through some simple PowerPoint presentation. This could be done through 1 session monthly.<\/p>\n

Through this program, I was able to pick up new Japanese words and meet Yu Ting in Japan \u2013 who also share with me more about her life as a student in Japan. All in all, the program was very fun and informative for me to learn about Japanese culture and norms.<\/p>\n

To future students who are interested in joining the program, take this opportunity, even if you are not familiar with the language, to meet someone new and learn about a new culture. Beyond the newfound knowledge, you would also make a new friend from abroad!<\/p>\n
