I want to study Japanese for a year in Japan, and I have done some research... I've found some universities that charge you about 10,000 dlls per 4 months of homestay. I think it's quite expensive but I know that the life in Japan is not cheap. I'm not planning on going over there to study and live for cheap. But I know that there should be some more reasonable options.
What am I looking for?
1.-Homestay.
2.-Option to get a study (or student) visa.
3.-Intensive courses... if it's possible, longer than 4 months.
4.-If it's possible cheaper than 10,000 dlls.
5.-Place??? Anywhere in Japan (Any prefecture, city, etc)
6.-When? Anytime since January 2011.
About me:
1.-I know the basics of Japanese (I'm certified as 4kyu by the Japanese association of America).
2.-I'm undergraduate student.
3.-23 years old.
4.-Male
5.-Responsible and good boy.
I know that a lot of people in this forum does actually live in Japan, and some of you have gone to japan to study. Please, please help me.
Regards,
Oscar.  |
Do an exchange program through your university if it's possible. It it's a true exchange, you'll just pay your university's tuition instead. This is what I did, and a full year at a Japanese university cost me about 15K in tuition plus about $500/mo for rent.
