Exchange to japan?

Question

hi, im a 15 year old girl living in australia, and i absolutely LOVE japan. ive been there once already, (i got selected to visit our sister city on honshu)

ive been learning the language since year 4, (im year 10 now), and i want to study it in university, but im not taking it for TEE

i definitely want to go for 1 year... but should i go after year 12, in my gap year before i start uni? or should i do a university exchange?

Answer 1

Go in year 12 with your gap. If you go while in Uni, you will have to make up classes, and it takes a lot of time.

I hope you can come to japan and visit our beautiful country again :P

Answer 2

Why not go sooner than that, and do a foreign exchange high school program in Japan? If you're already learning the language and excited to get there, you can do a half academic year or full academic year in Japan.

Good luck -- I hope you do it, it's never too soon to study abroad, especially if you really want to!
