■ What makes us decide to expand into Vietnam?
A new residency status “特定技能 (Special Skills)” system started in April 2019. According to the “Number of Foreigners Residing in 特定技能１号 (Specified Skills Type 1)” (preliminary figures) by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan’s Ministry of Justice, the number of foreign nationals holding the “特定技能１号 (Specified Skills Type 1)” status of residence in Japan exceeded 38,000 as of September 2021. By nationality and region, Vietnam accounted for 62.5% of the total, the largest number.

At the summit meeting between Prime Minister Kishida and H.E. Mr. PHAM Minh Chinh, Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, held on November 24, Prime Minister Kishida stated that “Vietnamese human resources are an important part of the Japanese economy” and that Vietnamese people living in Japan play an important role in today’s Japanese society.

In light of these trends and the expected increase in the number of Vietnamese people visiting Japan in the future, we have decided to expand our business to Vietnam. We hope that through KURASHI STUDY, they will be able to learn not only the Japanese language but also Japan’s unique rules and lifestyle in advance, which will help them with their life in Japan.

■ Strengths of KURASHI STUDY
KURASHI STUDY is a story-based Japanese learning app that teaches Japanese through conversation. The 96-scene story captures real life in Japan, and all the conversations of the characters are audio recorded.In addition to learning real Japanese, you can also learn the rules of daily life and administration necessary for living in Japan. The “Online Japanese Conversation (Talk)” service allows you to take private lessons with a qualified Japanese language teacher, supporting your independent study. You can learn “reading, listening, and speaking” in one app, which can also be used to prepare for the JLPT N5 to N2 levels.
