I am a student from Madrid, Spain, presently studying at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My work at Asahi Kasei involved training acoustic models for building speech recognition systems in the Spanish language.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Asahi Kasei for their marvelous treatment. It is only thanks to you all that I have been able to learn many new things, not only at a professional level but, more importantly, at a human level.
Even though my expectations for Japan were already quite high, my experience was beyond anything I could have ever conceived. I am very glad to have experienced all those additional things that make this such a special place. I will always be indebted to the Japanese for their warmth and their efforts to make me feel at home. It is my most earnest hope that someday I may become as good an ambassador for Spain as my colleagues at Asahi Kasei were for Japan. Thank you!

Ich bin Student der Informatik an der Friedrich Schiller Universitaet in Jena, Deutschland. Seit dem 1. Juli 2002 bin ich fuer ein Jahr als Praktikant bei Asahi Kasei Corporation in Atsugi, Japan beschaeftigt und arbeite an dem Projekt “Deutsche Spracherkennung”.
Hiermit moechte ich auch allen Personen danken, die mir dieses Praktikum ermoeglicht und mich bei der Vorbereitung unterstuetzt haben sowie den Kollegen der Firma die mich hier integriert haben und allen Menschen die mir tagtaeglich dabei helfen dass ich mich hier wohlfuehle.
Als kurze Zusammenfassung meiner Arbeit moechte ich sagen, dass es bis jetzt immer sehr interessant war und ich fast jeden Tag neue Dinge lerne. Ich bin mir sicher, dass ich in derZukunft von den Erfahrungen profitieren kann, die ich in diesem Jahr sammeln werde.

So far I can say that the work I am doing here is very interesting and I am learning many new things almost every day. I am sure that the experiences I am gaining now will benefit me in the future.

Asahi Kasei is a big warm group which I enjoy being a part of. Working and communicating with my colleagues here is a pleasure. I think my experience in Asahi Kasei and in Japan will be a very precious memory I will treasure for life.

I will stay here for one year to work on a Spanish speech recognition system. During my first four months everything has been so nice: from the people I have met at work to the food that is served in the cafeteria!
All the people here are helping me so much in so many ways, it seems like Atsugi is turning into a place I can call home. I really hope that during the time I am here, I can return but a fraction of the kindness I am receiving.

Je suis étudiant en chimie à l’ESCPE de Lyon (Ecole Supérieure de Chimie Physique Electronique), et effectue actuellement une année de césure en entreprise au Japon dans le cadre du programme Vulcanus chez Asahi Kasei à Fuji. Je travaille sur un projet de recherche en chimie organique que je trouve très intéressant.
Mes collègues sont très attentionnés et m’aident beaucoup tant sur le plan professionnel que dans la vie de tous les jours. Je voudrais remercier toutes les personnes qui m’ont permis d’effectuer ce stage chez Asahi Kasei, et qui de par leur chaleureux accueil font que cette année sera pour moi inoubliable.
