[@livingonthedelta7068]

why are you not helping with the reno?

[@lindaweber4928]

How he got in: he paid.

[@ReyDayami]

Isn’t that better than the taxpayers paying for it?

[@haleyfischer5316]

Were you able to pay all tuition up front, or will you need to find a way to pay for it while in Japan? Will you be able to have a job there to cover rent/food costs etc?

[@eknorpp]

I’ll pay for it all upfront February! I’ll hopefully have enough saved up to have some runway, but I would still like to find a job quickly

[@haleyfischer5316]

@@eknorpp wonderful! Wishing you the best of luck :)

[@benny2578]

My daughter also wants to one day go live in Japan and going through language school in the future May be a good option. I look forward to hearing more info about. If it’s not too personal, could you also say approximately how much a year of tuition might cost as well as living expenses, etc… all things to consider when deciding to go as a student. Thank you!

[@theglitchmindset2256]

You never told us the price

[@livingonthedelta7068]

are you real tall?the joggers look a little short

[@kaishell6650]

You probably wont see this comment but anyways. Im 17 just recently got my ged i live at home with my parents and i have nothing going on in my life ive always been intrigued by japan and japanese culture and recently thought about language school in japan but there is a problem i know zero Japanese and was wondering how much Japanese should someone know before applying for language school if any at all or if u would recommend learning some before going to language school?

[@eknorpp]

I had classmates who came to Japan with zero Japanese and learned a ton while at school! Of course I think it would be great to try to get a basic understanding but it’s not necessary I would say.

[@moonbunny7380]

Did you nees jlpt n5 for the student visa?

[@eknorpp]

No! The school doesn’t require any JLPT certification. Even beginners with no previous Japanese knowledge are fully eligible

[@andrguts52]

Do they do beginners courses for people that don't know any Japanese

[@eknorpp]

Yeah they do! You can start from zero Japanese knowledge

[@paulonorato8765]

Congratulations on your acceptance. Are you going to set up a go fund me page so that people can help and contribute towards your education? I’d be very honored to make a donation. Blessings to you and your family during this upcoming holiday season.
