Answer 1

I have to agree with Spice M.  Your best bet is speaking to your parents and to a counselor/advisor at your school about such programs.  Then you need to go out and find what works best for you.  Because unless your high school is actively involved with exchange students from Japan, much of the work is going to have to be done by you.  

However, I would say start early.  Don&#039;t wait until you get to Japan to start learning Japanese.  I can tell you from personal experience that there are many more scholarships opportunities for students with some previous coursework in Japanese.  I had taken two years of Japanese before I ever applied to any program, and because of which I received a partial scholarship.  However, soon after I got off the plane at Nartia Airport, I realized that two years of Japanese was not enough.  There was still much more to learn.

I&#039;ll finish up by saying that it is really important to be mindful of your host family.  This website offers a couple of good tips on getting along with a Japanese host family:

I wish you the best of luck.

I think if you need to find this out..the school is the place that can help you on this..
