Hi! I am going to write about my experience on process to conatcting

Go Go Nihon and go to Japan! I started to write in January but since I didnt

know if I would be accepted ro not, I decided to write about it now when I have been accepted! 

I am very sorry if I have used the wrong words or if there is something that you cant understand what I mean, but you are welcome to ask me about it and I will try my best to answer. ^^

7 January, I have been in contact with Go Go Nihon for about half a year?

They answer your questions fast and explain very good, their homepage is also very good and they give you the answers to the frequently asked questions. I went to a lecture in 6 October 2013 18.00 and got a lot of questions answered and I also recorded the whole lecture since I wasn't fast enough to write down all he said. -_-' xD Unfortunately, you hear a noise in the background and you do not hear so good but enough to hear. However it's in Swedish and I don't know how to put it up on my blogg. :(

On their website you get to write in a contact form http://gogonihon.com/en/gogonihon-contacts and then you get someone from their company to ask all of your questions and all that ^^ I have been in contact with two people (but now, I have been in contact with only one ^^ 4/2 ) and they have been very helpful and kind. They have answered all my questions and its finally january so I can now begin my application ^^

They have given me two links where you write down information about your self.

The application is half in english and half in swedish, kind of, so i will translate what it says.

And aslo this is a application for you who live in Sweden so I don't know how the application in other country's looks like. Hopefully it dosn't look too different. ^^ 

 

The yellow: This is usually on you passport. Write where you birthplace is and also the country  you are from.

Under marriage question: Why we ask this is simply because it is something that the Japanese immigration office

to know and also have it on paper.

Language exprience: So we can inform the school of your current level of knowledge in order for them to plan better. 

 

 

Blue: This is not an essay, but a formality that Japanese immigration office wants.

Write at least 100 words on your best "school english" where you explain why you want to study in Japan,

If you have studied Japanese before, what you are planing to to after you have finished sturying the language and how you are planing to use your Japanese in the future. 

Pro tips: Focus more on things like education, international relations, business etc, and less on anime, manga and games.

 

Ansökningsavgiften: The things that are written there, I am going to write it further down so don't vorry. 

 

Now this was the first link!

 

 

 

 

Now this is the second one!

 

Japanese migration laws are strict. Therefore the Japanese immigration office wants to have as mouch information about you as possible before they grant you a student visa. Fortunately we know what they want to know. So if you just fill out your information below carefull and correctly, the application process will be much smoother and faster. 

 

 

 

 

They also want a copy of your passport, information about if you have been in Japan before, a photo of yourself (they also write down a link where they give you an example of how your Visa application should look like.) They want to see your latest grades. If you want your application to go faster then they recommend you to pay application fee with paypal, you can pay with credit card, bank card etc. However if you pay with paypal it will go faster to pay it and if you now happen to not get accepted to the school, there is a higher chance that you can get the money back. (I haven't done this yet, so i don't know if this is true. But well see ^^ ) They wrote "Furthermore, it gives us the ability to repay the fee in the unlikely case that the school does not even accept the application, which is more difficult if you pay with foreign transfer through bank. " So i am going to pay wit paypal. ^^ Since I don't have paypal, i am doing to have to registerer. ^^ 

Here is my application message to the school. They told you not to talk so much about manga, anime and games, and more about the future, job, school or so.

"Hi, my name is Maja Johansson and i am 18 years old. I want to study in Japan because i have been very interested in Japanese culture and I think this can be a very good experience. It would be very interesting to observe a whole new country, especially Japan since its a very different culture from Sweden. I have depend on lot of other people to help me in my daily life so I also thinks this could be a very good experience, since I will have to be more independent. I have never study Japanese before. Since I am not sure on what to do later on in my life,I hope learning Japanese as a skill will provide to further possibilities in the future. Perhaps I can become a translator or maybe even teach others Japanese in the future. This will also be good for my CV in the future."
