My life has completely changed since I started studying in Japan. I love the people and life in Ueda city. After finishing the language course, I chose to continue my study international communication

at NBL (NLC back then). I am very thankful to the staff who are very kind and helpful. With the knowledge I gained there, I was able to find a job in a Japanese company. Now, I am very satisfied with my life in Japan.Koo Ka Yan (Malaysia)Working at Koma Industries Ltd.

The school faculty provided me a great deal of support at TBL. I was able to learn the structure of the Japanese business environment along with the manners that are necessary to become successful, and those are extremely

helpful in my current job. The experience of studying with students from all around the world became my life asset. Pastor De Arevalo Jose Ramon (Spain） Working at Lacoste 1-year Program

Learning Japanese in a language school may seem pretty complicated for those people who come to Japan

only knowing the basics. But thanks to the professional approach of the teachers and the school staff, always willing to guide me in any situation, even regarding some aspects of life in Japan, as well as ISI's multicultural environment was very quick, pleasant and fun! 

HRYHORENKO ANTON(Ukraine)

Professional teachersalways help me!

ISI has given me the opportunity to understand Japanese Culture in a deeper way. Being guided by such

skilled teachers has enabled me to build a strong core which kept growing as lessons progressed. Not only that, but the staff is also very kind and accommodating. I am extremely happy with ISI as my experience has focused very much on Japanese Culture yet was also very international.

It is also where famous samurai warrior: Sanada Yukimura was born and the filming location of a soap opera based on his life.
