The two-day orientation is over and classes started smoothly with everyone diving into their studies to cover their nerves at being in a new place. They seem a bit green compared to our returning students, but every year starts out the same.<br/> In a new development this year, the Musashi Urawa Japanese Language Institute is starting a collaboration with a private tutoring school in Tokyo. Working together, we will be offering supplementary lessons to help improve the grades on the fundamental sections of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students. All of our students aim to get accepted into prestigious, famous universities, and in order to do so they need to have a firm grasp of fundamental subjects as well as Japanese. <br/> Of course, we still provide lessons on these topics at our school as well, but now we will offer more in-depth courses to better the chances of higher results. We have had positive reactions from students, and we expect this year s university acceptance records to be higher than normal. <br/> In other news, the Kanto region recently broke a 40-year record for the latest snowfall of the season. The weather has been a bit unstable for a few days, being hot one day and cold the next, but it is slowly leaving winter behind. Spring is here, and that brings a time to meet new people and try new things. What will you challenge yourself with this season? <br/> </p> </div> <div id="int"><IMG height=30 alt="Initial H.T" src="../img/ht.gif" width=50></div> </td> <td width="20" rowspan="3" class="bgs"><IMG height=1 alt="" src="../../images/spacer.gif" width=1></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="380" height="30"><p class="up">2010 /4 / No.4</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="380" height="410" valign="top"><div class="photo"><IMG height=350 alt=Photo src="../img/10-04/e4.jpg" width=280></div></td> </tr> </table> <table width="780" height="56" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#336600"><!--DWLayoutTable--> <tr> <td width="760" height="14" valign="top" class="bgwhite"><IMG height=14 alt="" src="../../images/spacer.gif" width=1></td> <td width="20" class="bgs"><IMG height=1 alt="" src="../../images/spacer.gif" width=20></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="white">Copyright © 2004-<script type="text/javascript">myDate = new Date();myYear = myDate.getFullYear();document.write(myYear);</script> <A href="mailto:info@musashi-nihongo.jp"> Musashi-Urawa Japanese Language Institute</a> All Rights Reserved <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- var pg = "E-diary2010-4-4"; var a = "&&"; var pf = navigator.platform + a; var lng = navigator.language + a; var swh = screen.width + "x" + screen.height + a; var cd = screen.colorDepth + a; var pd = screen.pixelDepth + a; var rf= document.referrer; var now=new Date(); document.write("<imgsrc='http://www.musashi-nihongo.jp/ds/dsw.cgi?xx=",now.getSeconds(),"&&p=g&&md=j&&");document.write("pg="+pg+a+"pf="+pf+"lng="+lng+"swh="+swh+"cd="+cd+"pd="+pd+"rf="+rf); document.write("' alt='CGI' border=0>"); // --> </script> <noscript> <img src="http://www.musashi-nihongo.jp/ds/dsw.cgi?p=g&amp;&amp;cnt=no&amp;&amp;pg=E-diary2010-4-4" alt="CGI" border=0> </noscript></td> <td width="20" class="bgs"><IMG height=1 alt="" src="../../images/spacer.gif" width=20></td> </tr> </table> </center></td></body> </html>
