七夕会２００９年 Tanabata Kai 2009

http://www.nils.gr.jp/

A special one-day event at NILS Japanese Language School, where students spend the day in various workshops learning about Japanese culture. We participated in 書道 (Calligraphy) and 茶道 (Tea Ceremony).

I love 抹茶 but the boy who volunteered to make it for me used way too much powder. It formed a thick paste that collected at the bottom of the bowl, and I had no choice but to drink it. Haha.

I like making these videos not only because it raises awareness about the school I go to, but also because it helps give a clear idea about the kind of experience one can have by attending language school.

A student visa is very easily obtained, as long as you are enrolled in school, and with the visa you are able to work part time. It's a great option for people who want to live in Japan, but have never visited before, or have concerns about their language abilities.

Next month marks my 4th year in Japan ;)

Ahhh!!! : D

I went to the Nils site to check it out and you were on there!!!!

I wasn't expecting that! lolol

So cool! ^^ lol

P.S. love the vid! ^^

[Ciaela]

Yeah, it's because the're re-doing the website now, so they're getting a lot of the current students to give input about the courses. Haha.

[GacktandHydesmiles]

Okay, I see. Cool that you get to be on their site! : D

They really should use you as like an advertising person. These vids about what it's like at NILS, it would garner them a lot of attention and some potential students.

[Ciaela]

Yes. What a crazy idea. ;)

[geofg]

Alright, so how much is NILS paying you for these plugs? Because if they aren't paying you, they should be. Everything you video looks like a rocking good time.

[Ciaela]

they're not paying me.... yet ;) I figure I gotta show them what kind of response I can generate first.

[starsandsea]

I'm thinking about doing this after I graduate, attending language school in Japan and working part time. I would have never known it's possible if I hadn't seen your videos, so thanks. :)

[SuPrN0v4]

There are lots of cute boys at your school... x_X

[MoeTheFro]

I just read your interview on the website. As I read it, I could here your voice saying everything in my head. I'm such a weirdo. :D

I know this video is old, but just wondering if you did the 3 year program? I saw they range from 1 month to 3 years! I think 1 month would be a tease really.. did you notice your grasp of the language improving each year?

[gaijin140]

I feel so jealous that you are there. That looks like lots of fun doing the kanji.

[mintydeluxe]

Hey, I found you through Margokennedy. I know you get a million questions so I understand if you don't answer back. I just wanted to know why you chose NILS over other language schools.

Thank you for the fun videos!

[TokyoMase]

Hey Ciaela ^^

As of two months ago, I've been dead set on attending NILS. I've already started talking to the principal- I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for these videos. :D

[TheeeBronteee]
