I always wanted to do something different. So, I decided to do my bachelors in Japanese language. When I enrolled to the course, I just know what Japan is or how polite Japanese people are, but I didn’t have any idea what Japanese language is like. I searched about the language and found it very interesting. I have decided to push myself and started learning Japanese language. In some months, I fell in love with language and started exploring other things like Japanese movies, dramas, and songs. While completing my degree, I got a chance to visit Japan for research program. I went to Okayama university. within that one year, I literally fell in love with this country. The things I have been listening about Japan and Japanese people, I was experiencing it every day. It was just amazing!! And after experiencing Japan for like a year, I have made my mind to work in Japan!!
After coming back to India, I have started looking for jobs in Japan. However, during the COVID period, it was so difficult. But then I found a helping hand,” FAST OFFER International”. I have checked out their website and applied as an individual applicant. I got a call next week about procedures and things I have to do from my end. They have checked my Japanese level and communications skills on a call. The next task was preparing a PR video which would be sent to the companies. PR video was one of the most important things in the process as it was going to be my first impression of companies. After creating my profile with the PR video attached, I was assigned a mentor for the next rounds. I got selected by one company but couldn’t get placed there. However, my mentor and all other staff of FAST OFFER International were being so supportive and they couldn’t let me lose my confidence.
In the next month, I applied again and got selected by another company. I was so happy but equally nervous too!! I have discussed every little doubt with my mentor and taken care of the mistakes I have done last time. This time, I had to appear for the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) Exam. Luckily, I have cleared that and moved further for the next rounds!! There were 2 more rounds for this company. With all the support of my mentor and the whole team of “FAST OFFER International”, I have cleared those 2 rounds and got placed in SUNTORY SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY. I would be joining the company on 1st April 2022.
I was so happy when I got an offer from SUNTORY SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY and still cannot express that feeling in words. I just want to thank the whole team of FAST OFFER International, my mentor for constant support and for solving my every doubt. It would have been so difficult without your support. I will definitely do my best in the future. I am really looking forward to meeting each and every one from the team “FAST OFFER International”. Thank you again for this wonderful experience and amazing opportunity!!
Starting a whole new life is surely going to be challenging and might be a little scary at the start but I always believe in 「やってみないとわからない」. So, I am all ready to accept this change and do my best in my life.
Thank you.
卒業論文のテーマは「日本会話における助詞の省略」であった。日本語を学習し始めたときから、日本語の文法における助詞の使用と省略が最も混乱になるトピックであったため、論文のテーマにしてみれば、もっと深く学習できるのではないだろうかと考えた。半年間にかけるこの論文の流れは次の通りであった。
最初は今までの助詞に関する論文や研究資料を読み、様々なビデオを参考にし、助詞の使用と省略について学習した。様々な人に助詞の省略について意見を聞いてみた結果、年齢によって、助詞の省略についての意見がかなり違うこととアニメや漫画におけて助詞かなり省略されていることがあきらかになってきた。その観察を基にし、20歳~60歳の約100人の日本人を対象とし、アンケート調査を行ってみた。アンケート調査でアニメや漫画か収集した10個ぐらいの助詞を省略している文とわざと助詞を省略した文をあげ、すべての例文はどれぐらい自然に聞こえるかを1~5の程度で回答してもらった。
アンケート調査の結果次の3つことをあきらかになった。
1. 年齢によって、助詞の省略についての意見が違うこと。
例えば、「授業終わったら、飯食いにいこうや。」、これ例文の回答で50歳
以の方の回答は、3の以下であった。
2. 場所、相手や場合によって、助詞の省略が違う。
例えば、「文決まりました?」、この文が友達同士だったら自然だが、店員と
お客様であったら、不自然で失礼である。
3. 方言においても助詞の省略についての考えが違う。
例えば、「今日お母さんのとこ行こう思うわ。」、この例文で広島弁を話す人は自然だと回答し、標準語を話すは「と」がないと不自然だと回答していた。
このようなことを基にし、今までの人の研究と対象にしていた助詞の使用を説明し、自分のアンケート調査をまとめ、卒業論文を完成した。
