Thanh, a hard worker who worked hard to improve his Japanese language skills
[Work location] Tokyo
[Job Title] Interior Construction
The first thing I focused on after coming to Japan was studying Japanese.
On my days off, I would go to Shibuya or Shinjuku and participate in international exchange events.
The exchange meeting brought together people from various countries, including Vietnamese, Americans, Sri Lankans, Filipinos, and Thais. Speaking in one's native language was strictly forbidden; everyone had to speak in Japanese. It was challenging, but thanks to that, my Japanese improved significantly.
Also, after finishing work and having dinner at home, I study Japanese using an app. I write down any Japanese words I didn't understand that day on a piece of paper and look them up. Once I understand the meaning of the words, I try talking to Japanese people the next day or talking to friends at exchange events.
In my case, I don't use textbooks very often. Reading makes me sleepy.
