先輩サポーターからのメッセージ

Lea (PhD. student)

I joined the Support Desk because I liked the idea to help new students find their footing in Sapporo. At the time I had already been here for 2 years, had my own private battles with the Japanese language and bureaucracy, and wanted to share my experiences to make starting a new life easier.

I am from Europe and spent time in several European countries before coming to Japan. This helps to anticipate the difficulties which students face here, like getting a letter written in some secret code outside the realm of school learned-Japanese. Even today I can become perplexed by official documents or having a telephone conversation with an ultra-polite employee over the line.

At the Support Desk I met fellow colleagues from all over the world, and have fun working together, discussing things and organizing events. Our language repertoire includes English, Chinese, Indonesian, German, French, Hungarian and a couple of other languages, so we are quite multicultural. Most of the questions we get relate to difficulties with Japanese language: translating letters, calling up the landlord or utility companies. But we have given advice about university clubs, places to visit around Sapporo (and Japan), finding apartments and so on.

So if you have some questions about university life, getting around, checking out events around the campus, just come and asks us! Alternatively, if you feel that you mastered the art of being a Hokudai student and living in Sapporo, why not join us? New staff members are recruited twice a year around February and September.

Aodun (PhD. student)

I would like to introduce myself to you guys…. My name is Aodun Toya I am a graduate student studying at the faculty of agriculture in our beautiful campus at Hokkaido University. I really enjoy meeting international students at the Language Corner and since I am from Inner Mongolia/ China, I could not speak English very well at start. After a friend of mine introduced Language Corner activities to me, I practiced speaking English every time we had a meeting there. My English improved a lot and I made many international and Japanese friends. During that I noticed that there was a support desk to help international students at our university. I wanted to be involved in helping students and also my new friends at the Language Corner so I decided to apply to work in the support desk. After working there for about 8 months I improved my Japanese language and English communication skills. Also I got to know many things about working environment in Japan. This helped me to develop a better understanding of Japanese working culture. I think many students at our university should experience this so please do not hesitate to go to Support Desk at the Student Communication Station(SCS) and apply to work there!

I would like to give some advice from my past experience working at the Support Desk. First, try to develop your Japanese language before applying. It is very important to do that because many students will ask for your help to communicate with Japanese landlords or insurance

companies etc. second, always be patient and remember that many students are sometimes frustrated from doing long procedures. Last advice is to keep on learning, the Support Desk is a good place to develop your language and communication skills. Please come and join us!
