The visitor session that we had is very fun and interesting. We we're able to practice our conversation skills and at the same time share ideas and things about our country Philippines. This is a great experience for all of us because it enhances our confidence when speaking in Nihongo. We’re so thankful for our visitor and sensei for giving us this kind of opportunity. Although we had a short time of conversation, it is very worthy for all of us. After the session, I realized that I need to study more so that I can express and explained well my thoughts. Especially on the use of じょし and the ぶんぽう itself.

To our visitors:
Thank you for the time and great experience. It was very fun and interesting speaking with all of you. Nice meeting you all. Hope you can visit us again. ≧◠ᴥ◠≦
私はもっと勉強してがんばります。ありがとうございました。٩(˘◡˘)۶

The ビジターsession was fun and interesting. Im so glad we had this kind of activity. It not only give us the opportunity to talk with nihonjin but it also help us boost our confidence and improve our kaiwa ability. Through this we can make used of the grammar pattern we had learnt . Although sometimes our grammar is incorrect, if we keep on practicing on it we will eventually master the correct grammar.That is why, Im looking forward for another session like this.
お忙しい中、ご来場ありがとうございました。
どうぞよろしくお願いします。☺️
日本語の勉強をがんばります💪

I was actually very nervous at first but as the conversation goes, I felt at ease because the visitors were very nice and they were sharing really interesting experiences and life lessons. They were really fun to talk to. It is good to know that they are enjoying the Philippines, despite the huge difference in state and culture from Japan.

Kaiwa is one of my weaknesses. This activity is actually one of the means to practice and improve our Japanese conversation skills. I am truly thankful for this kind of opportunity. After the visitor session, I realized that I still have a long way to go to be able to communicate and express myself in Japanese confidently. I need to study even more and memorize the vocabulary by heart. 日本語の勉強をがんばります。💪🙂

To our visitors, みなさんとお会いて話しできてうれしかったです。本当に楽しかったです。お時間をいただきありがとうございます。😊💖

It was a fun and interesting kaiwa session with our visitors. We, EPA candidates are so lucky to have this kind of opportunity to practice our kaiwa skills with our nihonjin visitors. Even though I wasnt
wasnt really good in expressing my thoughts in nihonggo, it was a great opportunity for me to practice what I have learned in this training.We are able to ask about Japan life, and the differences between Japan and Philippines. It so happy to know that they enjoy staying here in the Philippines.

Looking forward for more session like this so we can able to practice speaking in nihongo and boost our self confidence.

To our visitors, Thank you for your time and nice meeting you all ♥️See you on your next visit! 🤗

It was a great experience and opportunity for us, EPA candidate s to have this kind of session with other Japanese visitors. I was very nervous at first but at the end i really enjoyed the conversation. The visitors are very nice and approachable, so you can be comfortable to talk with them  It was really fun sharing our  own experiences and I'm glad to know that they are their interesting experience here in Philippines.

This activity help us a lot  to improve our weaknesses in Kaiwa. I overcome my fear of having conversation with other Japanese. I realized that i need to improved   more my Japanese conversation skills so i can able to communicate confidently and express my thoughts clearly. I must study hard and overcome my weaknesses.
I'm very thankful to be part of this activity and I'm still looking forward for this kind of opportunity.

To our visitors,
時間と楽しい話をありがとうございました。日本語で上手話せるように頑張ります。どうぞよろしくお願いします。😊

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the visitor for using some of their time to interact and give us the experience to just talk without any pressure.

The session was an interesting activity. It was fun and since it was a free flowing conversation any topic can be raise without any problem. This activity let me see how badly I need to fix my conversation skills as I easily mess up words I already know and I think this would be my weakest link for a long time. But I am sure with more practice it will slowly and surely improve. :)

It was a very fun and interesting session. We are lucky that we have experience this kind of opportunity talking to our Japanese visitors. It gave us the confidence to converse with them in order for us to improve our skills in speaking. At first, I was nervous because I am not confident with my skills in speaking nihongo, but our visitors are very kind and approachable that all of us enjoyed talking to them and explaining some of our cultures here in the Philippines. I am also glad that they are staying here in the Philippines and loving it despite of the pandemic.
I can say that this is a great way for us to improve our skills and hoping in the near future there are activities same as this that we can join again.

To our visitors お時間をいただきありがとうございました。本当に楽しかったです。私はもっと勉強して頑張ります。

Having this kind of session can really measure on what level is our Japanese communication specially if there's no prepared topic and it's just "free talk", it is really a challenge for us because it's an actual communication with the visitors and we don't have any script for that so we have to talk base on the knowledge that we've learned. During the kaiwa with the visitors, At first maybe most of us were nervous because we're gonna talk with the real Japanese people aside from our sensei, but when we started we were relieved because the visitors were kind and understanding eventhough some of our grammar is incorrect. It was interesting and fun talking to them.
I can say that i need to study more and more so that i can really explain what i want to say in Japanese. I will do my best in studying Japanese.

To the visitors:
Thank you so much for your time in visiting our class. We had fun and at the same time we are more motivated in studying Japanese. Nice meeting you all and hope to see you again next time. (^_^)

I always enjoy our visitor sessions. Though it makes us nervous at first, they always end up being fun learning opportunities for us to practice Japanese. For this reason, I am very grateful for our teachers, advisors, and coordinators, and of course, the guests, for the time they have spared to make this possible.

There is always something new to learn from each visitor. In this particular session, I learned about how life in the Philippines differ from life in Japan. It gives me an idea on what I might experience when we finally arrive in Japan.

It's also nice to know that our visitors are interested in Philippine culture. It was really fun to hear how they became interested in the Philippines (きっかけ). もっと聞きたいですが、時間が足りませんでした。I hope we get another opportunity like this in the near future.

Regarding the use of Japanese language, it made me realize how much more I should be engaging in kaiwa. I have a lot of things I want to say, but I couldn't immediately express them with the vocabulary and grammar that I already know. That ability really does come with more and more practice. I'll do my best!

To our visitors, thank you very much for lending us your time. We hope you enjoyed and learned a lot from our culture as well. Please do visit us again! ^^

It was very fun, enjoyable nervous and exciting experienced talking to a pure Japanese. It was hard to speak fluent in Nihongo but sooner or later, we become good at it. All we need to do is to focus on what we are doing, giving time and efforts to make it success. 皆んなさん、いっしょけんめい日本語を勉強しましょう！！

To the visitors:
おこしいただき、ありがとうございました。

The ビジターセッション was very fun and helpful to improve our skills in speaking japanese language. Everyone really enjoyed the experience of having conversation with our 4 guest. I personally was glad that I am able to carry out conversations with them together with my groupmates. I was also able to be an emcee for the session. It was a challenge that at first I felt nervous because I don't have any clue on how to make the script and the flow that it will go. But thanks to my classmates they help me to know everything ang gave me confidence that I can do it. I hope that there will be more sessions like this that will be helpful to us EPA candidates.

ビジターセッションの日は楽しかったです。ゲストへ本日はお忙しい中、お越しいただき、本当にありがとうございました。
またのお越しを楽しみに待っています。🙇

It was fun to talk with them. All of them were very accommodating to answers all of our question and talked very slow for us to understand it better.

I, Anna, Bella and Lyka are in the same group. Our topic was "フィリピンの生活”. We are a little bit curious about their lives in the Philippines knowing that Japan and the Philippines are very different.

Ms. Yamamoto just arrived last December 2020. She likes adobo and sinigang.
While Ms. Oogami looks very capable of adjusting in different environment since she came from Australia.
Ms. Koike was amazingly very good in Filipino language and loves the Philippines.

I was really grateful to had an opportunity to talked with them and felt that they are very warm to the Filipinos. At first we were shy and nervous because we thought that they will judge our japanese communications skills but it turned out to be fun.

To our visitors, 山本さん、小池さん、大神さんとフェイさん。
Hope to meet all of you someday and thank you for working and choosing Philippines as your second home as well working for Japan and Philippine programs.
どうもありがとうございました。

This recent visitor session was fun and at the same time interesting. At first we were all kind of nervous as to who might be our guests and how do we handle the conversation. And at first we thought that it would be more like a Kaiwa exercise, but then, it became more of a natural and free flowing conversation. The visitors were also kind enough to try and understand us when trying our best to speak in nihonggo. We also got to know how long have they been staying here in the Philippines and to our surprise, most of the have stayed here for almost 2 years and above. Since our group was tasked with the Tourist Spot, we also asked them if they have experienced travelling here. Most of them have already travelled, but some haven't got to tried travelling because of the pandemic, but they are looking forward to going to different places once this pandemic ends.

We are all grateful for allowing us to have this kind of activity because it helps us boost our confidence little by little when it comes to talking to others in Nihonggo. We hope that there we be more of this in the near future.

To our visitors, Thank you for your time and patience. Hope that we will be able to see you all in person.

The session with the visitors was very interesting and fun. I Was glad to have talked with the admin an they were so kind to entertain our questions. We were quite surprised the they are currently residing in the Philippines. We just wised that there was more time. We got some advice about living in Japan. We get to practice speaking in Japanese. Although, it was quite a challenge, it was very fun and I am so glad we had this kind of event. Hopefully we can have more of this with them soon.
