I currently reside up in iwaki, Fukushima attending university for their language program and been studying Japanese for 6 months. Around 90% of the students are from Nepal and a majority seem to be unmotivated to learn Japanese. It’s gone to a point where I would hear more Nepali than Japanese. I’ve tried speaking to many of them with my horrible Japanese but most made no attempt to speak Japanese. It seems that they’re not interested to learn as sleeping in class or shouting across the classroom in Nepali became the norm for them. The teachers are too nice or patient with them but it made me realize that this must be the norm for them.
