　　　A principal of Japanese language school in Vietnam told his students who were supposed to study in Japanese language school in Japan that you must endure " 2 years' hellish period", form his experience in Japan.
　　　Actually, it is maybe " the hellish period" for foreign students to study Japanese for many hours everyday in order to enter university as a working student. For such reason, you have to have a strong will and healthy body.
　　　Students are expected to do hard work in and out of our class. For example, you have to do many homework and prepare for next class and quiz everyday.
( UIS offers more homework & quiz than other schools ! ) So you might not have enough time to enjoy living in Japan for 2 years or 1 year and half. But if you tackle preparation and review of class work, assignments and quiz everyday, then we promise you will be able to enter better university than the one you were thinking.
　　　So let's study and challenge together!

How do you acquire Japanese language effectively? Will you be a good Japanese speaker soon if you come and start your new life in Japan? These are studied in "second-language acquisition" and still new theories are developed.

Hello everyone!
Unlike other languages, Japanese has three characters: hiragana, katakana, and kanji.
There are various expressions using that character in Japanese, and it is a very interesting language. I hope that everyone will feel the fun and become a person who can express yourself in a variety of way.
I will teach you hard, so please study hard! Also, I think that life in Japan is difficult, but please do not worry about it by yourself and think of UIS teachers as Japanese families and consult with us about anything. We are happy to help you.
Let's do our best together for a year and a half or two years in Japan without forgetting your first mind before coming to Japan!

　　　There are many foreign people who admire Japan, especially in Asian countries. We have heard many people say they want to go to Japan to study there or work there. I suppose it is mainly because of high level of scientific technique at the cutting edge of medical science, automobile, electric appliances, aircraft and animated cartoon industry.
　　　There are 2 difficult aspects for young foreign students who want to go abroad studying in Japan, high cost of general living and difficulty of mastering Japanese.
　　　UIS has good scheme for those matters and UIS staff, as your family in Japan, get ready to support our students who are eager to improve his/her ability. Our UIS staffs strongly hope for your enrollment into UIS and are pleased to support all of our students in every aspects such as studying Japanese, selecting higher educational institution and living in Japan, if you act up to UIS Principal – keeping school regulation and our promise, coming class without late and so on – and aspiring ambition to use your time wisely in UIS for seeking your success in the future.
　　　We are looking forward to seeing young people who have ambition to master Japanese and a strong will to make his/her dream come true in Japan.
