Explore the space PJAIT - HEXAGON

HEXAGON in Polish means a figure with six angles. In the language of the students, PJAIT is one (according to some, the most comfortable) of our relaxation zones, where certainly not one student has achieved zen. It is located on the second floor of Building B in the Japanese culture section. We hope you will find a moment between classes to relax and sink into the soft poufs of our quiet zone. 

While you are relaxing, remember that this space is monitored and smoke detectors are installed!

Along with a photo of the sun-filled Hexagon, we have some interesting facts about the Japanese language for you. They probably won't come as a surprise to students of Japanese culture, but we hope our computer scientists and artists will learn something new! 

• The Japanese language ranks ninth in the world in terms of the number of its speakers. As many as 130 million people speak it as their mother tongue.
• Japanese vocabulary has reached the Polish language as a result of the radiation of the original Japanese culture: through film, literature, cuisine and combat sports. The Japanese language has given us aikido, anime, bonsai, judo, geisha, haiku, kamikaze, karaoke, karate, kimono, manga, ninja, origami, rickshaw, sake, samurai, sudoku, sumō, sushi, tempura, tofu, tsunami, wasabi and zen, among others.
• Since 2004, all learners of Japanese can certify their skills by passing the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) certificate exam, at one of five levels (from N5 to N1). The exam is held twice a year in Warsaw, on the first Sunday of July and December, and is organized by the Polish-Japanese Academy of Computer Technology!

For the beginning of the academic year, we have a Japanese proverb for you:

虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず
Koketsu ni irazunba, koji o ezu
("If you don't enter the den of the tiger, you won't capture the tiger/Who doesn't take a chance, doesn't have one.").

Work hard and take risks, because great success and exceptional achievements do not come easily. We keep our fingers crossed for you and wish you the best of luck!
