Unemployment: day 43
Today I received an email from JICA. The email said that whether I could prepare learning English enough at the training center. The email was attached a document which recent JOCV trainees advice how to study English.
Unfortunately I was not a person who had to study e-learning, so I was not sure how level I established in English. But I has studied every day from about one year, I hope to deal with the training.

Today I received an email from JICA. The email asked whether I could prepare for learning English sufficiently at the training centre. An attachment contained a document in which recent JOCV trainees gave advice on how to study English.
Unfortunately, I was not among those required to complete the e-learning programme, so I was not sure what level of English was expected of me. However, as I have been studying every day for about a year, I hope I will be able to cope with the training.
