Hi! If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “I want to go on exchange to Japan!” then perfect! In this video series I’ll be walking through every part of the exchange process, from looking and applying in this video, to preparing to leave, and even after arriving in Japan! I hope my experience of going on exchange to Japan twice (in high school and university) will be helpful for you! 💕
If you are confused about how to begin looking for the right exchange program, or don’t know which country, school or exchange program to pick, I hope you will find this video useful!

I loved your video, I'm waiting to see the rest of them
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.
Good luck, darling <3

Yooo!!! That’s some bomb advice 👏👏 can’t wait to see more!!!

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
Can i study in japan for 2 years? and can i go to the international school as a exchange student
Im from the Philippines, can i ne an exchange student even though im from a kinda unknown school??
Hello, which program did you enroll to go to Japan in high school? Could you let me know are there any free one's?
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?
hi is 14 years old is okay to go in japan as a student??
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?? 😀
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.
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?

Hello, I wanna ask abt the exchange programme, I'm an prefect or you may call "student council", if I go to the exchange student and come back , will I still be prefect(student council) or normal student?
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

I only know of hiragana so do you have any tips on learning both katakana and vocabulary, informal and formal Japanese? i dont know how to learn informal japanese i would use between friends cause books only teach formal Japanese as i heard.
