  • This is a day in the life of me, a Swedish Japanese language student living and studying in Tokyo. I go to Kai Japanese Language School! That's it. Straight up. I struggled with this video for ages and it turned out ooooookay I guess. I really hope you like it at least :D
    Bit more of a serious video this one. The next one will be way sillier, I promise.

    Hey Mr Fish I find my self coming back to this video many times it’s very well made and gets me excited every time I watch it. I am going in April of 2022 to study at Kai and I have a few questions if you don’t mind me asking.
    1) how was the school to life balance.
    2)what level did you start and how were the staff
    3)how long was your commute if you ever did end up being able to commute?
    Thank you very much :D

    • @FishSlappee
      @FishSlappee  Před 2 lety

      Ooooooooooohhhh you're going to Kai?! Wonderful, please leave me as a reference haha :D :D :D
      1. This was perfect for me since it wasn't too hectic but I still felt that I learned A LOT during one year. If you keep up with the homework (there is quite a lot) I found that I had lots of time over to hang out with people and explore Tokyo :D
      2. I started in level 1, so baby level. And the staff and teachers were the friendliest I have met, incredibly good at their job and genuinely hilarious and smart people. Also very helpful, you can ask the people in the reception anything and they will try to help you.
      3. I lived about 45 minutes from the school, door to door :)
      I hope you make it there and wooooo say hi to Kai from me! ^^ :D :D :D
