Message from Emi

Hello. I’m Emi Mizuno. I belong to the School of Japan Studies. I will be a senior student from this April.

I will study at the Faculty of Humanities in University of Pretoria from this February to December for two semesters. In this first semester, I will take three modules: Education, Zulu, Setswana. Since my major in Japan is Japanese Language and Japanese Teaching, I would like to compare the language education in Japan and South Africa by learning these modules.

Though only 10 days have passed since I came here in South Africa, I have experienced a lot of new things like watching wild giraffes and zebras and enjoying braai BBQ.

Pretoria is not such a safe city as cities in Japan and it can be dangerous to walk outside alone. But there are strong connections with people. I feel the kindness of my friends.

I would like to express sincere thanks to the staffs of Innovative Africa and teachers supporting my exchange program.

Period: 2024/2/5-2025/1/31
Department:? Humanities
Courses: Education, Zulu, Setswana
