How is school in Japan?
So I might be moving to Japan, and I just had a few questions for people who know/teach/or are residences of Japan. 1- Do you have to be fluent in Japanese to attend the schools? 2- Do you have to study a lot? (Heard rumors) 3- Will you get a very good education there? Thanks a lot, if you can answer :)

1, Yes, you must be fluent in Japanese. But there are international schools where they teach in English. 2, It depends on each school. 3, It depends on what you mean by good education.

Hi. I’m Japanese who goes to college in the U.S. now. I’m not sure if it would help, but let me answer your questions. 1. I think it all depends on what kind of school you are going to go. university or high school? private or public? typical Japanese school or international school? If you are thinking about universities which most Japanese go, then you need to know about Japanese for taking classes. Many people attend Japanese language school or some kind of program that the universities provide before they actually take regular (academic) classes with Japanese students. If you are thinking about high school, then some schools have programs that help you improve your Japanese. My high school had a Japanese class for exchange students, and they took the class as well as other regular classes with Japanese students. Either ways, you do not need to be FLUENT in Japanese:) You come to Japan and study, and then you will be able to speak, read, and write Japanese. Once the school accepts you as student, they are responsible for you as non-native speaker. As you can see from my sentences, I make a lot of mistakes, and my English is not perfect. But I can take classes here in the U.S. lol Don't worry!! 2. Do you have to study a lot? I did not. Lol I studied for exams. I did not have much homework in my high school. Well, it also depends on school. Some high school students go to private tutoring school for their extra time. A lot of students (high school and university), however, study when they have tests or homework. I feel that here in the U.S, students have more homework than Japanese have. Of course, if you feel you fall behind, then you need to study hard. 3. I do not know if you get a very good education. You will get an education in the way Japanese see the world.

1. Yes ofcourse but there are international schools for foreigners that use English as their school language. 2. I only study for exams and I don't really do my homeworks or researches much. But right now, I'm slowly reviewing for university entrance exams. 3. It depends on the person if you study or not. It's not on the school, it's on the person's will.

Might? In view of that, I will keep this short. They practice everyday after school is over. Depending on the school they may practice on weekends and holidays. Or even have morning practices. Those morning practices are killers. My youngest daughter quit judo because of those things. In short, they can possibly eat up all the free time you have.

What do you have to major in, (In College.) To be able to go to Japan for school
What do you have to major in, (In College.) To be able to go to Japan for school?
I want to be something that you can go to Japan and earn credits for College, becuase I really have no clue what I want to be, maybe an Architect, or a Marine Biologist, I want to be something that you can go to Japan and earn credits for college, because I think it would be neat to go to Japan, and if I can earn credits for college at the same time, that would be great. I have no clue what I want to be, but maybe an Architect or a Marine Biologist.

it varies by colleges and which schools they decide to do study abroad programs. schools with Japanese classes will of course go to japan. you don't neccessarily need to major or minor in the language, i believe... my school personally (U of Delaware) has an upcoming accounting and finance study abroad going to japan. so pretty much any major has a chance...it all depends on your luck with the school your going to! sorry if this wasnt much help!
