Experience
My experience deviates from the usual because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has the basics of a 6-month Japanese language class where we got a chance to closely interact with our foreign counterparts and students from different countries followed by 12 months of training on technology education from a Japanese supervisor. I was lucky to have the training for 18 months since my supervisor started it early. During the time of the pandemic, I attended one-on-one online classes.
