Japanese Half-Hour
Science Buddy holds “Japanese Half-Hour” at International salon once a week in lunch time. In Japanese Half-Hour, Japanese members of Science Buddy teach international students and researchers
Japanese. We would like to introduce comments from International Student.
You must be very lucky to know about these following fantastic characters of Japanese half hour which
you wouldn´t want to miss! This is the place you can learn not only Japanese language, but meet yourmost sincere Japanese friends at the same time. The science buddies who volunteer to teach are the kindest Japanese I´ve met! The Japanese half hour is conducted in 1 to 1 teaching style, so it is very suitablefor daily conversation practice. Textbook questions from the Japanese class can also be solved under thehelp by everyone including Ami san with her super dictionary. Some people came here to ask questions
they encountered when self-studying for Japanese efficiency tests. For me, as a half-year exchange student, this room is the most exciting and warm place I´ve been. With the help of so many friendly Science
Buddies, I gradually improved over time and started to be able to communicate in Japanese! It´s really adifferent experience to study with normal Japanese students instead of teachers, in fact, it was way morefun. I used my textbook in JA250 as materials. The difficult grammar points always end up inspiring
many Japanese tutors´ passion and interest, too. And they will explain tome in a perfect way. Other from clarifying the grammar points, they provide many other ways to express in daily conversation. Also, By discussing
the content of the textbook which mentioned a lot of Japanese culture. I
acquired contemporary ideas opposite to the impression from the textbook. Regarding the time of Japanese half hour, having lunch at the sametime is also welcome. So just don´t take it too serious, just drop by to see
how it goes! Hope you will enjoy the experience as I do! (CHEN Li-Ting)

卒業生からのコメント/Comments from Alumnus

Page 32014年後期に卒業された留学生とＳｃｉｅｎｃｅ Ｂｕｄｄｙに大阪大学での生活の感想をいただきました。

ARCHANA KUMARI 博士後期課程卒業
It was the first time when I was far away from my family and country; little excited, elated and at the sametime anxious. Looking back to my initial days in Japan, especially university campus always makes mesmile and feel good for my decision to come Japan. It has offered me the space to growas an individual, to try new things and to meet new and interesting people. I must say
Osaka University always offers many new opportunities and opens up new prospects
for your future. As a Ph.D. student, I experienced little hectic lab schedule but I enjoyed this on most of the occasions. Being alone or independent, I have also learned tomanage different aspects of life such as money, accommodation, health, relationships
and future career. Learning Japanese language was quite challenging for me and I
always looked for some company for my outdoor activities. But, it was really not sodifficult. I must admit people and the system here are very friendly despite the language barrier. It was comfortable to hang out with new friends. I would suggest, it isalways better to learn the language in order to experience more of Japanese culture.

ZHENG YING GRACE 学部卒業
I still remember the fear and anxiety I felt when I first came to Handai,
the thought that I would not be able to adapt to this very new environment. 4 years down the road, I am very grateful for the amazing undergraduate education Handai has had offered me. Words cannot express
my emotions fully, but I am thankful for all the teachers who patiently
taught me, classmates and friends who stretched out a helping handwhen I faced problems, and most importantly, the staff of the international students’ office for all their care and guidance. As I embark on
the next journey, I will never forget everything I have learned and received from Handai.

学部卒業 ～Science Buddyから始まる国際交流～

私は、2013年度から始まった理学部の国際交流グループ”Science Buddy”(以下SB)の第一期生として活動してきた。SB
では、月一回の国際交流イベントや毎週のJapanese Caféなどの企画に関わっていた。第一期生として、ゼロから作り上げていくことは予想以上に難しく、SBの立ち位置や広報活動について真剣に議論もしたこともあった。これらの活動を通し留学生と話す機会が増えるにつれ、私たち日本人が思っている以上に留学生は日本に興味をってくれていることに気づいた。日本のことをもっと知りたい、伝えたいと思い始めていた頃、留学生寮チューターの募集を見かけ応募することにした。チューターとは留学生寮に住み、生活上の困ったことや日本語の質問を受け付けるアルバイトのことである。留学生寮では日本語を教える機会も多く、日本語の難しさ・面白さを再認識することができた。また、書類の手続きが面倒だったりベジタリアン向けの食材が少なかったりと、留学生にとって不便なことが多くあることに気づかされた。多様であるのが当たり前、違うことが面白い、と感じるようになってきたのもこの頃である。
SBと国際交流サロンは私にとって心のオアシスであり、何か迷ったり、困ったりしたときは留学生の自由なキャリアプランに刺激され、人とは違う道を選ぶ勇気をもらったように思う。新しい環境に行ってもSBで学んだ広い視野を持って国際交流に携わっていきたい。最後に、浦川先生とSBの仲間、そして留学生相談室の網さんに心から感謝申し上げます。

International Café Report
Within this year, we have successfully continued all the events, with gradually increasing participants. Besides the regular events hold every week, within the pastsemester, we have also held five International Cafés. Also, the events are getting
more and more exciting with the efforts of every Science Buddy(SB). Every Octoberstarts with many new international students. Therefore we always dedicate our first
International Café in the autumn semester to them, in the form of Welcome Party.
In November, an “Asian food party” was held. Last November was quite chill, andwhen weather gets cold, Japanese people tend to eat “Nabe”, Japanese Hot-Pot. But
instead of doing a Hot-Pot party, we took the advantage of the nationality diversity
in SB and turned the party into the Asian food party. We also delivered Japaneseculture to foreign students by holding Bonenkai (Yearend party) and Shinnenkai(New Year party). We also tried Kakizome (Calligraphy) together. In March, under
the lead of Chinese and Singapore Science Buddies, we prepared traditional Chinese and Singapore New Year foods, hand-made dumpling and “Yu-Sheng”. ForJapanese Students, it is really rare to see such food thus everyone enjoyed; for foreign students, it tastes like home, feels like home.(SB Siyu CHEN)
