青葉の学生は「おしゃれさん」が多い！ Fashionable students!

学生が日本語を勉強し始める理由はそれぞれ違いますが、最近多いのは日本の文化が好きだからという答えです。漫画やアニメ、それにファッション。

There are many reasons as to why students started to learn Japanese. When asked, the students often relate their interest in the language to liking the culture of Japan. Of course, the three main topics that spark up the interest in most people are Manga, Anime and Fashion.

今でも日本のサブカルチャーは衰えをしりません。私たち日本人よりもっとアニメに詳しい学生ばかりで、逆に私たちがいつも教えてもらっていますし、ファッションも日本の雑誌で研究している人がたくさんいます。そのためか、青葉には日本人より日本人っぽい学生が多いんですよ。

Even now, Japan's subculture is still thriving. There are many students who know much more about anime than us Japanese. Instead, we are the ones who are always receiving the latest information or news from them. Also, passionate students who take an interest in Japanese fashion magazines and do research on it's content are also commonplace. For that reason, the amount of Japanese-ish students has far surpassed those of the Japanese in AOBA.

いつもおしゃれもメークもばっちりのかわいい学生とお友達になるチャンスです。どんどんAOBAで日本語を勉強すると、おまけもついてくるのでした・・・。

In short, students who dress up fashionably, put on perfect make up, etc. have increasingly gathered in our school as there are many opportunities to meet up with their friends and discuss the Japanese culture. AOBA has gradually evolved from just a Japanese school to a place which provides many opportunities for people to mingle and share their knowledge with others, bringing in a whole new learning experience!
