How to Become an Exchange Student in Japan (Pt. 1 Looking and Applying for a Program)

So encouraging video! I'm so excited that Japan has finally decided to start letting in exchange students and interns, but at the same time I can't find any internship programmes I'm eligible for (in fact I found only one and applied to it but the odds are extremely low). Maybe it's too early for now.

This was such a motivating, educational, and sweet video. I’ve always wanted to go to Japan and this would help me in so many other aspects of my life. I’m sure it will be difficult, expensive even and maybe I’ll be a little apprehensive about the idea of leaving home for such a long period of time and going somewhere completely new but we only live once, what’s the fun of you never try anything new? Thank you for all of this information!!

girl i thought u had like 1m subs ur so underrated😅❤

hello! I have a question is there a certain age you have to be to become an exchange student?

(I'm currently 14 btw)

Hi! I’m 14, I live in the UK and don’t know any Japanese ( but I’m learning it ) and I would like to go to the exchange high school programs, but first of all I couldn’t find any program from the UK to Japan and then I’m not sure how to study, because if I will go to Japan I’ll miss a few month of studying in the UK school and it might be hard to put all of this together?

i do online school ( i used to do in-person school in 7th ) and im in my last year of middle. would i still be able to apply to be an exchange student? im very stupid and i rly only want to do it for experience and to be happier. please reply!

English isn’t my first language, I was born and raised in Mexico and my dad Is fluent in Japanese, ever since I was a kid I wanted to be like him which is why I want to go to Japan as an exchange student! Thank you for this video!!

The gospel, or the Good News, is the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. It tells us that all humans are sinners and separated from God because of our sinful nature. However, God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins.

Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, yet He willingly took the punishment for our sins upon Himself. He died on the cross, paying the price for our wrongdoing, and three days later, He rose from the dead, demonstrating His power over sin and death.

Through faith in Jesus and His sacrifice, we can receive forgiveness of sins and be reconciled to God. Salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned through our own efforts or good works. It is by God's grace alone that we are saved.

To receive this gift of salvation, we must repent of our sins, turn to God, and place our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We can have assurance of eternal life and a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:23 states that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

Godbless.

I couldn't go to a Japanese school because I am autistic.

My school year in the US ends in late May, but the school year in Japan starts in March. Do you know how I would be able to get on schedule on time? Would I have to just learn the materials at school at a faster rate?

Please answer!!! When you were still in high school did you live alone in Japan or with someone you know?And if there is no one I can live with but I am under 18 how do I do it?! Btw love you <3

You kinda look like Mariya Takeuchi 🦐

I know this is video was made awhile back but i do have a simple question. Im 17 and will grad next year. Do you have to be enrolled in a university to be able to study in japan? I would just like to grad high school and just go to japan right after. Thanks💜

Hii I'm really having trouble deciding whether or not to go on exchange not only because I don't speak a lick of Japanese, but also because I'm already in my senior year. I've always wanted to do foreign exchange, but I have no idea where to begin. If you'd like, please message me on insta or reply :)!!! Thank youuuu! Also, your video really motivated me!!! xx

Hello! I have an extreemly important question i wanna ask!!
Im 14 right now and i relaly really want to go to japan as a highschool student soon as i can.
My mom went to the USA as an exchange student when she was 18-19 because she wanted to experience what it was like in an american highschool, she said it was very worth it and that i should go to japan because ive been talking about it all the time lol.
But anyways, i searched on google that in japan they finish highschool at 15 but on some websites they say the finish highschool at 18.
But i want to finish my education in my country.
Soo uhhh can i go to a japanese highschool at the age of 18? Because im pretty confused lolll

i really want to become an exchange student in japan because i love the country. But im concerned that im not smart enough for the schools there. i heards they are strict and very demanding. Correct me if im wrong but thats atleast what i have heard. Please let me know! :))

Hey, I'm planning to join a exchange program next year if you have to ask I'm from the Philippines and I want to experience and explore Japan. That's mostly the reason I want to experience it but I don't know where to find a exchange program.

Would it be too late to apply if I wanted to go in 11th grade?

Hello! So I’m going to be a freshman and school starts next week. Japan is my whole life, when I was 11 my family went on a 2 week vacation there and it felt like home and so I’m moving there in the future. I really want to do a exchange next year or the year after, I know hiragana, katakana, some kanji, lots of words and basic sentences. Only problem is that I’m vegetarian. Now, I’d be totally fine if there is meat or fish broths in dishes and sauces and I’d be willing to go out of my comfort zone a bit. But because I’m vegetarian would any program or host family accept me?

I want to go to college in Japan and finish my education there. So I was wondering if there are any programs that can get me to actually be a permanent student in their school instead of only for a year.

hey! is it okay being 16 and go there as an exchange student? ive been very curious about being a exchange student for a while now. i really wana experience the life at japan and all that stuff. but i dont know where to start but when i saw your video it helped a bit! i also wana improve my japanese since i only know a bit of hiragana and katakana, do you have any tips?? :D

hi is 14 years old is okay to go in japan as a student??

What should I do if I don't know Japanese and want to go to Japan as an exchange student in high school? I am personally studying Japanese (through Duolingo but really don't know much) and won't be in high school for another year (I'm in eight grade) but I am having to begin the process of thinking about these things. I assume the classes aren't in Enlish. Soshould I just work on leaning Japanese before going to japan or will there be different ways for me to learn while there? I don't want to be sitting in a class and have no idea what is going on because I don't speak Japanese.

I feel very naive about this whole process and I know there is a lot for me to read up on and understand. I was looking at the AFS international Program and it wasn't completely clear about everything involving languages. One of the main reasons I want to study abroad is to learn Japanese more fluently. I just tend to worry. So can someone please help me clear this up a bit?

Hello, which program did you enroll to go to Japan in high school? Could you let me know are there any free one's?

Im from the Philippines, can i ne an exchange student even though im from a kinda unknown school??

Can i study in japan for 2 years? and can i go to the international school as a exchange student

Hello
Im 13years old
I've been thinking about it since then
Im a beginner and i barely knew words
But im really curious on being an exchange student
