I know the feeling. I have been in Japan for 25 years now, and some things just do not seem to change. My Japanese is like that of a native speaker, and it is definitely not thanks to any school. In fact, the school I attended 25 years ago pulled a fast one on me. They took my last semester’s tuition and then reported me to immigration for having an attendance rate below 80 percent. It was all intentional. Once they had my money, they forced me out. My visa was revoked, and I had to stay on a tourist visa for a few months. But I managed to stay by getting accepted into a Japanese university to study electronics. I only had two weeks to prepare for the entrance exams in Japanese, but I passed. I was 21 at the time, and my Japanese was already strong. Not because of school, but from working at a cafe, studying on my own, and having only Japanese friends. A few years ago, I moved from Osaka to Tokyo, and here I am, kicking ass.
That's really nice man... I plan on going to Japan to study for like 6 months, maybe just 3 months if I can't stay for 6. Would you recommend for me to work this time or should I Just go, study and fully immerse without working. Or just study at home and immerse without getting into a school.
Thank you for sharing! sounds amazing and you know what I feel I will do my best studying japanese and the school only will be for the visa until I will find other ways to stay :)
I don't think you can work if you come study for 3 months. in the student visa you can work for 28 hours a week only if you stay 6 months or more if you want to live in Japan, a student for japanese is the easiest way to start :)
Which school are you? I am planning to take it actually, this is the thing that i worry about, i cant say the school must be perfect to teach its lesson but at least as students, teachers must have consideration how the students understand the lesson, i am thinking maybe before taking this school in japan, we need to be get used to japanesse lesson deeply once still in our country.
Good luck! I can imagine how hard and frustrating it is, because this was me, but with Maths haha. Did you consider learning Japanese back in your country before you decided to move to Japan?
Dude, how do you rip your school and not mention the name of the school? For those people thinking of studying at a language school in Japan, knowing which school you're talking about could be helpful. What's the name of the school?
Thank you for the comment, I didn't mentioned the school name because I don't want to do shaming. The school is professional and not a scam or anything but it doesn't good and fit specifically for me. it might be very good to others. I suggest people to read reviews about schools on google and even visit and physically check if possible I am moving to another school so I will make a video about it :)
תודה על התגובה! יש כל מני מסלולי לימודים בדרך כלל בתקופות של 3 חודשים עד שנתיים כל הרעיון של הלימודים זה לגור ביפן חוקי עם ויזת סטודנט לכן ללמוד באופן פרטי לא תומך לי בויזה. אם המטרה היא רק לדעת יפנית, עדיף מורה פרטי. בשביל ללמוד יפנית בבית ספר ביפן כמו שצריך עדיף כמובן להיעזר גם במורה פרטי אבל זה עוד לא מעט כסף כמובן
It's a language school! Anyone can go into a language school, they just teach Japanese there. There's no age restrictions, you just need to pay the course fee
@@toi2codon There are plenty of language schools who accept students over 35. You just need to research, you can still get a visa for this. I've seen even 60 year olds in language classes. But yes, most people in the classes will be under 35.
@@apt1313 Listening is not enough you have to talk and see the Japanese. Being in Japan is way better than at home as long as your going outside and interacting.

@@Dorsadventures Good answer. I appreciate the honesty and respect for the school!
where are you studying if i may ask ? i'll be moving to japan next year for a JLP
Tokyo :)
so my channel might be useful for you
good luck!
הלימודים הם במשך שנה?
ולא היה עדיף פשוט ללמוד באופן פרטי מאשר בבית ספר? יותר יעיל ונעים
תודה על התגובה!

כל הרעיון של הלימודים זה לגור ביפן חוקי עם ויזת סטודנט לכן ללמוד באופן פרטי לא תומך לי בויזה.

As I know so far, Japan issues visa for language learners under 35yrs old.

@southcoastinventors6583 what matters is not where you are, but how much you listen to native content. He didn't seem to be listening much
