I heard about Japan from television, the internet, and from friends who had worked in Japan.
Looking at the photos, Japan seemed like such a beautiful country, and that sparked my interest in Japan, making me think, "I want to go there!"

I studied Japanese in Vietnam, but there is a dialect in Osaka Prefecture where I work. Because the dialect is spoken differently from standard Japanese, I had some difficulty learning it.
But I gradually got used to the dialect, and now I can switch between "standard Japanese" and "Kansai dialect."

It has been more than 10 years since I lived in Japan.
Now I am Specified Skilled Worker (ii) and can invite my family to Japan.
I am paid enough to live in Japan. At work, I can now supervise the safety of the work. From now on, I would like to be entrusted with on-site management as a foreman.
