Yes, by all means talk to them because they will have the best advice and information. These types of programs are looking for native speakers so I'm sure they will be more then glad to point you in the right direction. Good luck.

A Japanese consulate may also be able to help...though they mainly work on the JET Program.

I'm transfering to a university next adademic year that has an exchange 'agreement' with a university in Japan that I'm considering applying for.

The university in Japan is Yokohama National University in Yokohama, Kanagawa. If anyone has information about that school or the city, please share!

Also, the requirements to go are that you take 15 units. I just want to make sure before I go signing any papers that a unit in Japan is the same as a unit in America, 'cause 15 is a LOT.

I have another question, but I bet it's already been answered so Ima go search before I ask it ^_^ .

I'm no native speaker, but I am still learning it. I still need a place where I can improve my speaking skills, though. I spend more time reading it than speaking it. I could improve my writing as well. I usually cheat and type on the computer since it's easier to spot my mistakes that way. ^^;

Oh yeah, UoR's sister school in Japan is Kansai Gaidai University. Sometimes I wish I would've just went there, but I need to to make some type of a full-time income and UoR's schedules aren't very "work friendly".

At the rate I'm going, seems JET would end up being my only option, but, like most anything, there's no guarantee that I'll even get to the interview process of it. Maybe if I try out for JET, and manage to get in, while over there (hopefully) I'll just research the jobs, especially if it turns out I really like it and the atmosphere.

Sorry, misinterpreted the question. I thought you were referring to Japanese. Yes, I'm a native English speaker.
