Kia ora, my name is Meri and I’m from Tokyo.  I’m currently staying in Green Island with the Young family, which includes three girls and a doggy. After graduating from high school in March, I came to Dunedin in April. —so, I’ve been here for two months. I’ve been impressed by the beautiful nature and the kindness of kiwis so far. When I was in high school, my favorite subject was geography. I actually researched about New Zealand’s Seafoods in my geography class, even though I hadn’t decided to study in New Zealand yet. At that time I never predicted that I would be studying here one day. I chose this course because I want to gain the academic English skills for studying at the University of Otago. I’m interested in agriculture because it is the foundation of our lives —we need food, don’t we? I’m excited to major in Agricultural Innovation. In the future, I would like to have a sustainable farm. I’m passionate about learning new things from people, places and experiences. Th...

     My name is New.   I have been living with Ms. Haines who is my host mother since I first came here in February 2025.   Since I have been living here for about 4 months, I have enjoyed living in Dunedin because I like that this town is peaceful and quiet.   In addition, there are a lot of mountains, trees and flowers which makes me feel relaxed and more comfortable.   Moreover, many local people here are very friendly to international students and I had a chance to talk to new people which was a very exciting experience for me.   My favorite subject in both high school and at university was English because I found that I enjoy listening when people are talking in English.   Moreover, English is fascinating for me even though I admitted that it is challenging to study the language.   In terms of the reasons of studying in this course, I want to both improve my English skills and build up my confidence as well.   In my free time, ...

  My name is Milae Choe. I'm from Seoul, Korea. I'm living now in Maori hill with my host family. There are five members in my host family, host parents and three children. They all are lovely, especially the baby who is 1 years old is super adorable. Sometimes she calls my name and smile to me, it makes me feel happy.    The first time I've been to Dunedin was a travel. I love traveling by myself in my free time. I traveled to some countries after graduate university. One of them was New Zealand and then I thought Dunedin would be good for studying English because it looked very safe and the people were very friendly. So I came here again to go to university. And my first impression of Dunedin was right, it's safe and peaceful. I like Dunedin.   I'm a big fan of Tottenham Hotspur which is a team in England football league. Usually in my free time, I watched the football match, but nowadays my team is terrible so I'm not watching the match for my stress level. M...

 Hello, everyone. I am Keigo Tominaga. Almost of you already know about me, but let me introduce myself. I am living in Mosgiel with host mother and father. There was a absolutely lovely dog named Rufas as well , but unfortunatelly he has gone.Beside, I love this city and I have been having memorable time with my friends, however the only point I hate is the transportation which mean a less bus, especially 77 line which bounds for Mosgiel to City. I would like to improve my English and see  a difference of culture between NZ and Japan. I like NZ's cuture ,which every time stranger pass by me they say "Hi" at around my house which can not see in Japan.  Nice to meet you guys.

 Hi, I’m Miyu TOKUMOTO from Japan. I’m 21 years old and I was born in Nara. I’m specializing in language course at university. I’m currently staying on Green Island with a lovely family, and there’s also an adorable dog named Charlie. My main goal here is to improve my conversation skills. Even back in Japan, I often have opportunities to interact with people from other countries, so I’d like to develop my English further and broaden my perspective. I’m a generally positive person, though I can be a bit shy at times. I’m really looking forward to the next four months with you!
