Do I have to Speak fluent Japanese to go to school in Japan?

Question

I was thinking: If I wanted to go to college in Japan would I have to be able to speak fluent Japanese to attend?

Answer 1

couldn't hurt...

if you want to go to college in japan, you will have to learn japanese to pass your classes.  if you don't want to study japanese now, you could always move to japan about 6 months before your college begins.  This way, you would learn lots of japanese in an immersion setting.  more fluency at a faster rate...

Answer 2

most likely. Apply to a college in the states and then find a program that has a Japanese study abroad program, often times they will give you an intensive course on the language before you go.

Answer 3

Why don't you just study Japanese also and solve your problem?

Answer 4

you would have to be pretty d**n good at it

Answer 5
