Chapter 8: Hulya’s Story. In-country Learning by Hulya Park

Abstract
​
Hulya, whose story is in Chapter 8, started learning Japanese as a beginner in Turkey. She describes how on a university study abroad program in Japan she broke out of the international student group and made friends locally. In Sensei’s Tips we follow her story with an examination of various aspects of study abroad programs and how learners can make the most of them.

​About the author
Hulya Park is from Istanbul in Turkey and she began studying Japanese in her second year at university. She first came to Japan as an exchange student at Hiroshima University in 2008 where she met her Korean husband. They now live in Nagoya, and even though they are both native speakers of different languages, they still talk to each other in Japanese. She studied the internationalisation of Japanese higher education as part of her master’s degree and she is now working at the international admissions office of a big national university in Japan.
