Daiki 🇯🇵 Hello! My name is Daiki and I’m Japanese. I’ve been living in a small town filled with nature for 20 years, so I love to do outdoor activities such as fishing and camping. I was studying in America as an ASP student in 2017, so I’ll be glad to answer any questions. I didn’t have a foreign friend until I entered TIU and my English was really bad. However, I’m now on English Plaza team as well as Peer Assistant team and I have many friends from foreign countries. My dream job is becoming an English teacher and studying the use of English in Japanese society in order to change English language education in Japan. And I hope to travel around the world to visit my friends and touch upon foreign cultures!

Chita 🇺🇿 Hello, my lovely people! I am Chita, born in Tashkent, but preferably my home to be is Planet Earth. I have passion for communicating with people from various ethnic backgrounds. I believe the ability of meeting new faces and turning them into friends makes people valuable citizens to a society. ENGLISH PLAZA plays a vitally important role in achieving these skills in my life, and has already turned into my second home where I can enjoy working with my second family. Additionally, I can speak 4 languages fluently and am still working on my Japanese language skills. As knowing foreign languages is one of the factors which helps different people to communicate. Second fact about me is I love reading business psychological books which are true keys for personal development. Jim Ron and Robert Kiyosaki are who I appreciate as true leaders and I’m learning a lot from them. Let me share one more interesting note: I never ever eat junk food (fast food). I prefer to be hungry rather than eating unhealthy food, so I try as much as possible to be healthy and active. Also I do swimming twice a week after my oceans of studying. Do you want a friend to share your feelings or any help? Come to me, talk to me. Thank You

Hi 🇻🇳 My name is Hanh and I am originally from Vietnam. Overall, I don’t have any special characteristic, but you can easily find me changing my moods quickly from being energetic to being awkwardly shy. However, I enjoy listening to people and learning new things from them. I love cooking although my dishes can be unexpectedly delicious or unpalatable, depending on my moods. I can do a lot of things but I am not especially good at anything. Singing, dancing, skating, playing sports, drawing, crafting, speaking 5 languages, hosting events, making good coffee, you name it, I can do it. I am also a dog enthusiast, so the best way to start a conversation with me is to show me a (picture of a) dog. If you see me around, don’t be shy to talk to me (and help me overcome my shyness)! I look forward to learning all about you!

Alvin 🇮🇩 Hey there, I’m Alvin, an Indonesian working in the English Plaza! Not only that, I like to play games, build plastic models, clean, and make memes. I also draw and make animations sometimes (not that I’m any good at any of them). I might look serious at the first glance, but I swear it’s just my face; I don’t bite. You can identify me around the campus as this weird guy who always has a hat on. I’ll see you when I see you!

Hau 🇻🇳 Hi guys, my name is Hau, though most people say it like “how” but I think I am saving time and effort by not trying to correct it. I really like ramen and instant noodles, if you want to hang out with me, we can go eat ramen and talk about anything. I used to really like sports but due to some serious injuries, I cannot play sports anymore so I play video games instead. I am always chilling in English Plaza so if you want to talk or just hang out then you can find me there.

Alice 🇻🇳 My name is Alice. This is not my real name, I just found it easy for people to remember so I called myself Alice. I’m from Danang, Vietnam; a city surrounded by beaches and high mountains. I grew up near the ocean and my house is near the Han river which was the location for a lot of the world’s famous bridges. However, I cannot swim; even though I tried for years but still, water and I do not have a good relationship. I love watching people, analyzing the way they think and act. I’m also a very lazy person, the most favorite thing I want to do is wake up on a cold winter day, not have to go anywhere and do nothing but drink a warm cocoa while seeing the snow falling down from the glass window. If you share the same hobby with me, please come find me and let’s talk together. Also, I think that loneliness does not come from being alone; it comes from feeling that nobody cares. I never feel lonely, I always care, I care about myself, so if you don’t have anyone to share about your feelings, your thoughts, please know I will care. Therefore, please don’t go through things alone, we – the Student Leadership Interns – are always ready to hear and help you no matter what.
