Language Schools in Japan (Q&A with Go! Go! Nihon!)

[@abdielmoreno-cruz354]

So I’m currently in community college and I’ve been stuck for a very long time. I don’t mean to drama dump but it’s just to summarize what I’ve gone through to end up in the place I’m currently in. I first discovered Japanese culture during my sophomore year in HS. I instantly fell in love with their rich history, everyday life, food, even the complexity of the language. My family didn’t really agree or understand the reason why it became such a big passion, but to me this is a gateway to a much bigger world than the brutal daily routine here at home. The desire to explore and adventure, to get outside my comfort zone is what I want to do for a majority of my life. It’s been almost 5 years since I first tried learning Japanese. Never had anyone to talk to about it, everytime I would bring it up to relatives they made it seem like it was such a weird thing to do. “No just stick to getting your bachelors on something and you’ll succeed in life”. I’m not in search for a life of luxury or glory. I wanna learn more, experience more. After hearing him say “you just need a HS diploma minimum to get involved in the program” I literally put my phone down and almost teared up. The thought of how much I could’ve done already if I had followed my gut instead of giving in to what others have set me on. When I say this I mean it deeply, I can’t wait to finally involve myself in these types of programs that are offered.

[@valentsim2141]

Thank you for sharing your story! I feel the exact same way with wanting to experience more. I myself doubted my desire to travel, but am now thinking of signing up as well.

[@kemushichan]

Happy Weekend, Guys!＾＾　I was so excited to meet with Go! Go! Nihon and be able to ask your questions directly to them! I'm going to be sprinkling in more videos where I GUINEA PIG their services, so if you have any questions you want me to address about Language Schools or Go! Go! Nihon, let me know! In the meantime, they have a LOT of videos showing what they do on their channel too, so check it out!: kzbin.info

Thank you for this video! I didn't know any of this at all. You are amazing, and I'm so thankful for you and your channel. :)

[@elsab8614]

KemushiChan ロレッタ thank you for sharing this! It would be great if you could share other relevant courses for studying interpretation & translation, as well as options after Japanese Language school? Was told by some Japanese people that foreigners hardly get a chance to secure a job unless they are local graduate 😊

[@checkerbearhair]

Wow the timing of this video is perfect for me. Thanks Loretta!

OMG thanks for this. My daughter-in-law and grandchildren are moving back next week, and my son will finally be moving in October, so this is great as he will DEFINITELY need more Nihongo help and this sounds like a great school for him. PLUS he can return to university and finish his degree.

[@statefarmjake5355]

In the U.S., we run a Share House and have found that Language School Agents don't know the Ins-and-Outs of the U.S. school system. Several Japanese students that have stayed with us have been misinformed about the various path options that are available to them. I'm sure that the same thing is happening in Japan.

[@vladimir6074]

What about Akamonkai language school?:) Is the intensity there really that huge, that students couldn`t have a part-time job? Or its all just people`s fears?:)

[@nubia2715]

[@Houstonhavocgaming]

What about G.E.D? I left HS to take care of my mother, then went back to get my dream. It has always been my dream to work and live in Japan I have studied the culture, and i have dedicate 1.5 hours a day to learning the language and writing. Now that my mother has became my guardian angle, i want to chase my goal/dream, but i am worried about me having a G.E.D i have also taken the SAT and passed with a above average scores, and the JLPT n3 practice test which i also passed. I plan on taking the actual test when i am ready to tackle N2 head on.

[@LoosedCash]

I`m in a similar boat but I would say only one way to find out.

[@kira2742]

How long has Go! Go! Nihon been around? There are a lot of language schools in Japan but they only have a very small percentage on their website... I already applied to a small school myself for October (have to wait till August to hear from the Immigration Bureau,) but I'm just curious :)

[@hauteclere2369]

Kiraキラ 8-9 years, if I’m not mistaken. they have a short amount of schools because these schools are the ones that they partner with, therefore giving you the free service that they provide :)

[@KaylaWuvsGummiBears]

I was wondering what they offer for current undergraduate students? I will be starting school in August and I will also be taking Japanese. I was curious as to if they offer exchange programs for existing students? Thank you (:

[@nivi_in]

What is their business model? O.o "We do everything for free" doesn't sound like a sustainable business model, and makes it sound rather sketchy... It looks incredibly useful, but I would prefer it if they were more up front with their charges.

[@damienbrooks2363]

[@嘎嘎-c2g]

What I wanna know is can I study in Japan even though I'm still below 18 ah

[@miafeys]

Possibly. It'd probably be best to finish whatever education you're currently in and move when you're older imo. Realistically, it'd be more difficult to find accommodation and be able to provide for yourself if you're younger since it's already pretty difficult for foreigners in general, and you're still considered a minor in Japan until you're 20. It could be easier if you're planning on doing a homestay, but I feel as though that's more short term than if you're planning on staying for more than a few months. Also I'm preeeeetty sure you can't apply through Go go Nihon until you're 18, so the whole process will be generally more difficult. Also it's very expensive, so unless you have a full time job or a trust fund, you're gonna have to work to earn money before you can go anyway.

My personal advice? Just find a language school you like, and apply directly yourself. It's NOT as difficult as they're making it out to be. You'll often get a better rate, and even if the rate is exactly the same, the money is going 100% to the school, who will then have more money to invest in teachers and facilities to benefit you.
