Hello, I'm a student in Australia studying Japanese. . .
If I study for the rest of this year and next year I will be going on an all paid trip to Japan in 2012 (Well, besides spending money... food, travel and accommodation are provided as I will be staying with a Japanese family)
So I was wondering...
I study Japanese twice a week for a total of 4 hours each week and do additional study at home (occasionally :P, done 3 hours of Japanese work tonight), how advanced would I be in that time period?
Advanced enough to be able to get my point across to a family of natives?
Keep in mind I live in Australia and use minimal Japanese (if any) on a day to day basis...
Anybody with a basic understanding of Japanese feel free to help :P
~Thanks
