>> So, when I was applying for my university and specifically for the MEC scholarship I used LinkedIn, in order to find other students from my country who had been on the MEC scholarship and then I got in touch with them. And they were all really wonderful and helpful and they agreed to meet with me in person and have a talk about it. And I feel like that definitely made a huge, huge difference, just being able to meet someone face to face and ask them about their experiences. And they could really answer questions that I couldn't really find the more personal experience side of things online. So, I would definitely recommend seeing if you can find anyone like in your network that has been like to study in Japan and use that to gain any information. >> One of the questions we got on the forum was about people worried about their age. So, I think you have some experience again with that, because I came here a bit late. And I have met a lot of people that were actually starting their master course for example or PhD while they were 30 or even more. So, I think if you're a graduate student you can still come to Japan and apply for scholarships, even though you're let's say older than the majority of people. And the other question that we found was about adapting to Japan. So, my advice would be just try. Because at first it may seem difficult, but whenever you just find something new or you're learning about something I guess it makes you feel like a better person or you're going outside your comfort zone. So. Yeah, I don't feel so scared about that. >> In regards to undergraduate international students or students who want to get into undergraduate degrees especially the ones that are taught in Japanese, in Japan, a lot of learners ask us how native or how fluent they need to be in Japanese to complete a Japanese degree. And my answer to that is that you don't need to be a native speaker of Japanese. You just need to be proficient or fluent in the language at least. So, you don't need to know how to read like Shakespeare in Japanese. What you should know in Japanese to complete a Japanese degree is probably above functional Japanese obviously. Academic Japanese is a level that you should get to if you want to complete a Japanese degree. And also for a lot of international undergraduate students, they first go through a whole year of intensive Japanese study at a school. So, the school actually prepares them to study in a Japanese degree. As long as you put the effort, and as long as you keep studying Japanese you will get to that level within that one year. And also the examination to get into this degree, these Japanese taught degrees are completely separate to local Japanese students so you're not competing against local Japanese students entirely. You do take examination called the EJU, which is designated for international students. So, they do take into account that Japanese isn't your first language.
