University courses are difficult enough in your own language, why do you think you'll be able to understand and pass a class when you say you know only the most basic Japanese? I don't know of any Japanese university scholarships for foreigners, but if there are any, I'd suspect a basic requirement would be enough Japanese that you can understand the classes.
I thinkyour best bet is to finish university and then teach English, since then your knowledge of Japanese will be far less important. I didn't know any Japanese when I went on JET, but that just meant the kids and teachers had to speak English with me, which improved their vocabulary and confidence. However, I would have been completely lost trying to actually take a class that was taught in Japanese, except maybe something like art or maybe PE.
