Yoshida Institute of Japanese Language was successfully certified as an 適正校 again this year.
This is a term that may be unfamiliar to many of you, but it is a document that states that the school is doing a good job of enrolling students and teaching them how to live in Japan in a responsible manner.

What this means, in a very simple way, is that you will need much less documentation when you apply for your CoE.
Which documents will be reduced varies from country to country, so that will be discussed on a case-by-case basis, but there are very few.

Also, the visa you get when you first apply for a visa will be valid for a longer period of time.

That's why we are currently accepting applications for the April 2022 class.
For more information, please contact us by email or messenger.

ヨシダ日本語学院は今年も無事、適正校として認められました。
聞き慣れない言葉のように思われるかもしれませんが、この書類は入国管理局より、良い学校であるという認定を受けたという通知です。

とても分かりやすい恩恵は、皆さんがCoEの申請をする際に入国管理局に提出する書類がとても省略されるという点です。
何がどう省略されるのかについては長くなりますので、個別に相談することとなりますが、どの国であっても、適正校の方が要求書類は少ないです。

さて、当校では現在2022年4月期の学生を募集しています。
興味が終わりの方はメッセンジャーやメールアドレスからご連絡ください。

This news came out last night, around 8:40 p.m. Japan time.
I didn't bring up the topic of foreign students in the news I shared yesterday, but there was finally a mention of a positive review of the entry of foreign students.

We're in a situation where information is changing by the minute.
It would not be surprising if the entry of foreign students into Japan would be resumed at any point during the month of October.

I would like to let everyone know that behind this statement from the Prime Minister, there were a number of people lending a hand in the reopening of the entry to Japan, including organizations that promote Japanese language schools.

このニュースは昨日の夜、日本時間の20時40分頃の記事です。
昨日シェアしたニュースでは留学生の件の話題は出しませんでしたが、ついに留学生の入国について前向きに検討するという言及がありました。

ここまでくれば情報は寸刻み。
10月の間のどのタイミングにでも入国再開になっても不思議ではありません。

総理大臣からこういった発言があった裏には、日本語教育機関関係６団体の皆様、入国再開に向け様々な方がご尽力くださった事を、ここを見ている皆様にも御周知したいと思います。

Japan has decided to lift the declaration of a state of emergency as of October 1.
In the meantime, it was also decided to ease the quarantine of vaccinated people entering Japan after their arrival.

If they submit proof of vaccination and a negative certificate, the time spent waiting in quarantine at a hotel or other place will be shortened.

The vaccines covered seem to be the three types licensed in Japan, Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.

This news does not directly refer to foreign students, but the Chief Cabinet Secretary said something to the effect of "reviewing the principle of suspending new entry into Japan”.

I previously announced that I might be able to enter the country sooner than I thought, but maybe even sooner than that.

At that time, she was the only one from the Japanese language school.

There are no direct flights from her country to Japan, so she had to go through a lot of trouble to enter the country, but she overcame the difficulties and is now studying at our school.

I hope that she will continue to enjoy her life in Japan with her natural seriousness and cheerfulness.

This news is written in Japanese, it is about the easing of entry into Japan through the use of vaccine passports.

Discussions have finally begun on the use of vaccine passports in our country, as other countries have already begun to use them.
This discussion has been going on since July, but now that the Olympics and Paralympics are over, it seems that more concrete discussions have started.

They will start working on it by the end of this month, so the day when foreign students can finally enter Japan may be approaching.

For the time being, only the three vaccines approved in Japan, Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, will be covered.

政府は入国者の待機措置を段階的に緩和する。新型コロナワクチンの接種を済ませた日本人ら向けに、入国や帰国時に課す2週間の自宅などでの待機期間を10日間に短縮する案を与党に示す。早ければ9月中の運用開始を目指.....

It has been a very long time since we have updated our page.
We will be sending out information more frequently in the future.

The easing of entry restrictions that began in October 2020 and the acceptance of students who had been waiting until then, followed by the sudden entry restrictions in January 2021 and the announcement that the restrictions would be lifted by the end of March, continued for 6 months with no news and only the entry restrictions being extended.

Every day I hope that the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be over and that international students will soon be able to enter Japan.

The Japanese government is considering easing its entry ban on visitors from Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand currently in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And plans to letting in up to around 250 foreigners per day from those countries. Lifting the ban for business visitors is the first step, and the Japanese government is negotiating terms with four countries. And lifting the ban for International students is the second step.
Depending on the situation, the government will expand the list later to other countries, including EU country, the United States, China and South Korea.
If you are interested in studying in Japan, please wait a little longer.

日本政府は、COVID-19の大流行により、現在実施されているタイ、ベトナム、オーストラリア、ニュージーランドからの訪問者の立ち入り禁止を緩和することを検討しています。
そして、それらの国から1日あたり最大約250人の外国人を入れることを計画しています。 ビジネスビジターの解禁はその第一歩であり、日本政府は4カ国と交渉を進めています。 そして、留学生の解禁はその次のステップです。
状況に応じて、政府はリストをEU諸国、米国、中国、韓国を含む他の国に後で拡大します。
日本への留学を希望している皆様、もう少しお待ちください。

We always have a choice or there is always a chance !
I don’t believe in this or I don’t believe in this phrase/expression.
Miracles don’t happen or there are no miracles.
Those who want to learn should make an effort.
Do the best you can with creativity and originality.
Believe in yourself, anything is possible.
But that idea is incorrect.
Do nothing, stay home.
Maybe we should give up on our dreams.

Try reading it backward..

Maybe we—-
Do nothing—-
