Cambodia MOEURN SREY POV&RY SOPHEAP

I came to Japan because I want to work in Japan, earn care work experience from Japan, and know Japanese life.

I came to Japan because I love and like Japan which is a beautiful country. Moreover, I want to earn many experiences.

I’m interested in care work because I love elderly people and want to help them until their late life.

I have interested to be a care worker and that is why I came here. I want to assist elderly people who don’t have ability to do by themselves.

It makes me happy and motivates me when old people are cheerful, smile back at me, and praise me.

I’m happy when I have worked as a care worker. After half year’s work, I can speak Japanese with elderly people fluently and well. So, I felt very happy.

My working facility has several good points. The best point is that my colleagues are friendly. When I don’t understand and ask them, they teach me to until I understand.

There are no earthquakes where I live. I am allowed to plant some vegetables in the field, so I do not need to buy them. I do have to buy meat, though.

My favorite memory from this place was the hot springs. When I entered a hot spring, I felt so good.

I am happy to take care of the elderly people and see if they stay healthy. Also, I feel happy when Japanese people are kind and helpful.

My difficulty was when I moved elderly people from a chair to a wheelchair. However, if you master enough techniques, it is not difficult anymore.

The users always compliment me on how hard I work, how good I am, and how cute I am.

My goal and dream are to pass JLPT N2 after living in Japan for 3 to 5 years. Then, I will return my country as successful person or capable person to run a company.

As I love nursing care work, I set a goal to pass the exam of Certified Care Worker to develop myself better.

What I would like to tell people who are going to work as a care worker that sometimes what you hear in rumors and what you actually do are different things. I am not worried about this job, and the work we do here is similar to what we studied in school.

My messages are, first you should study technical words that will be useful in your work. And second, you should practice and watch videos related to real practice.

When I was at school, I studied care work’ skills for 4 hours in the afternoon, and I studied Japanese vocabulary for 4 hours in the morning. Then, in the evening, I practiced them. The most important thing were technical words and practices.

It is a good idea to study while we are working. For me, I always study approximately 1 hour every day because I want to take an exam. When I had day off, I spent much more time to study.

In Japanese language, the most difficult thing is Kanji because Hiragana is not much used here.

To improve my Japanese language, I always watch TV, talk to my colleagues, and listen to them. Then, my Japanese will be improved.

I studied 8 hours a day in school, and I also took time to study myself at home. For me, I never went outside. When I was waiting food I had ordered, I took that chance to study Japanese through my mobile phone. After I got up in the morning, I always memorized 50 words a day and reviewed the lessons before I went to school, and I previewed the lesson after I came home.

I studied over 4 hours a day, 1 hour for grammar, 2 hours for vocabulary and 1 hour for listening. Especially, I focused on technical words for approximately 1 to 2 hours.

I spent 1 year in order to pass both specialty and Japanese language. At the time, my Japanese level was just N4.

On my days off, I cleaned my room, washed clothes, hanged out and took a rest 1 to 2 hours. Because I planted some vegetable, I watered them and removed the grasses.

When I have days off, I take a rest at home, and hang out nearby my house and go to the gym.

I like Misoshiru because this soup is like Cambodian soup that I can add some vegetable. Besides, I like salmon because it is delicious.

I like Sushi, raw fish, and Sukiyaki.

Because I’m working in Hokkaido, the most beautiful places are ski resorts because I could see white, beautiful snow. And flowers are also beautiful in this season. Because Japanese people in this region always plant flowers in front of their houses.

I don’t know much about the beautiful places in Hokkaido. Because of Covid 19, I haven’t travelled yet.

It is not the wrong decision for people who want to come for working. Please don’t think Hokkaido is too cold. Even though it is cold, we have Japanese style thick sweaters and we don’t work outside. As we work indoors at the facility, we feel warm and there is no problem. The most important thing is that we should study hard about the skills of nursing care and Japanese language because when we can speak and listen fluently, all will be fine.

I want you to study the Japanese language, technical words, and care workers skills. Because Japan is good and beautiful, and Japanese people are kind, you don’t have to worry. Let’s challenge together!
