when you were there, what did you call everyone? what did u call your host families mum, and her son and your host friend. and wat did u call your friends at school??
Hi there! I'm 13 and I realllllllly want to live in Japan, but I only know a couple of Japanese phrases. I want to know if there are a lot of people who speak english in Japan. And if not was it easy for you to learn Japanese??
@twigirlforever You should definitely wait a bit. Don't go until you are in at least your second year of high school. Going to Japan after you know the language makes the trip A LOT more fun. I'm going second semester next year and I'll have taken three years worth of Japanese (I just started a few months ago). You have to REALLY think about why you want to go. Don't just think 'oh it looks pretty, I want to go there.' You might be taking away someone elses chance if you aren't sure
Hi! I'm about 13 and my parents said i could go to Japan when I become old enough! I'm probably going through Rotary program. I wanted to ask you if there is anything else i should know besides the language before going? (I have Rosetta Stone and some basic word dictionaries) I know the things like take your shoes off before entering a building and what to say before and after eating but the only other things I can think of, come from anime and I don't know if I can completely trust that!
@Haruhi324 You should definitely wait a bit. Don't go until you are in at least your second year of high school. Going to Japan after you know the language makes the trip A LOT more fun. I'm going second semester next year and I'll have taken three years worth of Japanese (I just started a few months ago). You have to really think about why you want to go. Do you want to go because you like anime and you want to go to the place where it all started, do you just like the scenery, ect. *nagging*
@teslagirl16 Thanks for the reply! I had planned on going in 11th or 12th grade and I'm studying the language hard right now! I don't really know why I want to go to Japan though. However, I don't think its necissary to have a reason to want to experience something new! I've been fasinated with Japanese culture since I was like 8 and I don't even know how that got started. I guess thats a reason but still thank you for replying! xD
@Haruhi324 Yeah, that's totally cool. And really, if it feels like the right thing to do then that's ok too. The thing that I hate is when people just want to go because they like manga, or just because they like Jpop, it just seems like they're stealing the chance from someone else... SORRY, nagging again... Well I hope you have fun! Good luck!
@Haruhi324 Also, If you're taking Japanese at school then they will teach you some basic stuff like how to hold you chopsticks (no waving them around while eating D:<) or when and how to bow, etc. And even if you don't know at first, you'll learn once you get there. It's not like they're gonna get mad at you if you make a mistake. You do, however, want to learn from your mistakes. We don't want them thinking all Americans are ignorant people :'(
do you know if the have any schools with long skirted uniforms o.o? and when you join the exchange program do they automatically assign you to a family or that's only if your underage and do they help you with your Japanese in school like an ESL kinda thing
I really really really want to go to Japan.. But the problem is the money.. And I'm just 15 to fridag and no job here in my town is available for me to work on... I REALLY hope I can get a job..And I wonder how much Norway give away in loan:(
I'd love to go to Japan, My best friend's cousin who is like 9 asked me to go to her house in Tokyo, I really want to! and I'm really surprised but I somewhat understood what some sentences were! :P YOu were so lucky to get to go! So Jealous! <3 Japan X3
There are a ton of ways to become an exchange student; through an organization, like YFU or Rotary or AFS; or you can have an arrangement made with your school and a sister school in Japan.
I didn't really know that much Japanese when I got there, I had studied by myself for a year beforehand though. Good luck :)
you go to their website and fill out this paper thingy and mail it then pay the money for the uniforms and such :) but i decided to not to go anymore. if i do go, i'll have to do the same grade again when i come back to america.. which i'm not so happy to be doing :))
same here! i reeeeallly want to cos i'm learning the language as well and me and my friend are trying to convince our teacher to take us there as a trip lol (not completly working but we still try) it looks sooo beautiful :D
How long have you been staying in japan? Also how long did it take you to learn japanese with the zune,pimsleur's unit. Sorry for the questions it just someday I plan on going to japan and I am just insanely curious about how different japan is than America and what it's like. Expect more questions.THANK YOU
Lol. They are so cute. No I took lessons on my Zune, Pimsleur's Unit I, II, and III. I also studied from books a lot and watched a lot of dramas with matsu jun in them. But that doesn't count... lol. They had english subtitles
is it normal for japanese to have a messy home?
