Hello everyone,

My name is Magain Michael, I am a 17 years old student living in Belgium. I had plans to study business engineering at the renowned Solvay school of Brussels. I speak already 3 languages very well : French, Dutch and English. I wish to develop my linguistic skills by learning Japanese. I sense a great affinity with Japanese since a year now and it made me want to do a gap year there. I really love how Japanese sounds like, it is very charming ! With this tool I hope to have better job opportunities when I graduate at Solvay's school but I also hope to gain personal experience. 
I'm Indobelgian (Indonesian and Belgian) so I have links with Asia in general and I have great interest in the japanese culture. 
I want to know more about how people are in other countries to become more open minded and gain life experience. I've visited a lot of countries : China, Indonesia, Croatia, France, Spain, Peru, Taiwan, Germany and Senegal. So I'd like to add Japan to this list ! 

The only problem is that I come from a family with not so much money - even though we're not really poor. I wish to study on an intensive immersion program in Japan for approximatively 9 months. These programs are too expensive for me and my parents to cover the expenses so I'm asking you if you'd like to help me make my dream come true ! :)

Sincerely,

Michael
