Interviews of Current Students

Intercultural Communication / 3rd year (Junior)
Ms. Bembi
Entered through the Entrance Examination for Dual Language Pathway

I have a dream of becoming a Japanese language teacher in my home country of Indonesia. My interest in Japanese language was triggered from watching anime and playing games. I chose to study at Rikkyo University because I knew studying in Japan was the most effective way to acquire the Japanese language, and I found that CIC offered a comprehensive program that would help fulfill my dream. Through my studies at Rikkyo, I also developed an interest in Japanese culture and sociolinguistics. I plans to continue my postgraduate studies at Rikkyo before returning to Indonesia.
