Belle Epoque College of Beauty
Hairdressing Department,
Tin Reika
I study hairdressing, make-up and nail art. I went to elementary and junior high school in Shanghai, China, and I transferred to a Chinese school in Japan. Since all my classmates at this school were Chinese, I didn't pick up much Japanese, so when I entered Belle Epoque College of Beauty after graduating from the Chinese school, I had a lot of trouble understanding the implication of what people said in Japanese. However, I got over my difficulties by studying hard. Now I take the same classes as Japanese students and have a lot of Japanese friends. My parents run a company in Japan, which allows me to concentrate on studying without worries about life in Japan or visa renewal as most international students have. After I leave Belle Epoque College of Beauty, I plan to find employment in Japan so that I can improve my skills in hairdressing and make-up. My dream is to run a beauty salon back in China. What I'd like to suggest to those who want to study in Japan in the future is that they be committed to acquiring Japanese. Japanese is essential to reading textbooks about hairdressing and make-up.

After completing the Japanese-Korean, Japanese-Chinese Interpretation and Translation Course, I hope to enter university in Japan. I donﾕt have so much difficulty with language barriers and cultural differences as many international students because my sister lives in Japan. I think meeting students of different nationalities at Toyo Language School and in this course of Tokyo Communication Arts greatly benefited me. If we continue to study in Japan without firmly keeping our original objectives in mind, we are unlikely to make the most of studying here. Some students lose sight of their original objectives one or two years after they start studying in Japan. Iﾕll try hard to make sure that I accomplish my goal.
