My name is Masao Koyama, and I am the president of Waseda Foreign Language College.  I would like to say a few words.<\/p>\n<p>In Japanese, there is an expression, \u201cI no naka no kawazu, taikai shirazu.\u201d In English, it can be translated as, \u201cThe frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean.\u201d The meaning is simple: a frog living inside of a small well has no knowledge of the great ocean, namely, the world. The expression teaches us that it is important to come out of our familiar surroundings and see what the world has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Now, all of you are like this frog, leaving your own countries with the enthusiasm to learn more about Japan. I think this determination is wonderful. I respect your drive, and your wisdom in recognizing that in order to learn more about a country, you need to learn the language.<\/p>\n<p>Even for Japanese people, the Japanese language requires us to learn a lot. We need to use higarana, katakana, kanji, and sometimes the Roman alphabet. We also have consider how we speak with others, and, above all, we must be careful with honorific language.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, I am sure that the Japanese people you meet will be considerate and supportive. Therefore, I think you need not worry about making mistakes or being shy, and simply use the language you have learned and continue to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Japanese industry is seeking to expand from the small markets of Japan to the broader markets of the world. To this end, Japanese companies is in need of talented people with the ability to speak both Japanese and the languages of other countries and are eager to hire people with these skills. For all of you, this is a great employment opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>It is my hope that at Waseda Foreign Language College, you will learn the Japanese skills you need under the guidance of our able and friendly teachers to make your move into the world at large.<\/p>\n<p>I wish all of you luck and success in the future.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"history\">\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\n<h3>Special Features<\/h3>\n<h6>From university to work, we will help you discover your future<\/h6>\n<p>At our school, student goals include not only entrance into university or specialized colleges, but also finding work, both in Japan or in students\u2019 own countries.
