I want to study in Japan?
410929
I am studying in Japan. (Completing Graduate studies here, and have been here for 3 years)\n\nI recommend that you contact your local Japanese embassy for information on scholarships, exchange programs, and study abroad information.\n\nThe Japanese Education Ministry does extensive work supporting students from abroad, inlcuding the excellent Monbukagakushou scholarship. The application process for the scholarship is long and difficult, but worth it.\n\nThere is also the AIEJ fellowship, which I don't know too much about, but they have many links that are helpful for study.\n\nMy only other advice is to have a good working knowledge of Japanese when you get here. You should walk off the plane at least knowing how to read hiragana and katakana. It's not the most difficult language to master in speaking terms, but it is probably the most difficult language to learn to read.\n\nGood luck! Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

http://www.manythings.org/japanese/links/ has almost every good resource link for learning and practicing Japanese.\n\nYou can also buy books. I know Kodansha is a good company.\nhttp://www.sasugabooks.com/ has books you can buy (in Japanese but also instructional books for learning it). I found them to be fairly speedy deliverers when they have the books in stock and don't have to order from Japan.

Shalom Adam,\n\nThere are a number of ways which I can think of which you can interact with Judaism even in remote areas. \n\nThere is a program called Partners in Torah which would set you up with a study partner free of charge over the phone, to study with you any Jewish topic of your choise for an hour a week. Their website is www.partnersintorah.org \n\nThere are live video classes given online on various Jewish topics, which you can partcipate in. I guess the timezone will have to work out for you. If you would like to know more about it, just e-mail me.\n\nYou can also check out Chabad in Japan at www.chabadjapan.com for any Jewish servoces and programs they offer there.\n\nYour'e never alone :)

My sister for several years hosted exchange students.  Here is what is done.  You need to go to your schools administrators and let them know that you would like to sign up for it.  I am not sure if there are any academic requirements.  If they support the program there, they will match you up with a host family in the country you choose.  My sister hosted only Japanese students (I don't know why).  As far as sites try Googling Foreign student exchange program.  It should give you the info you need.

You said she is starting university and you are in your second year therefore you will finish before her, so why should she leave Japan to live in England when the opportunity for you to go to Japan will present itself much sooner.  In the meantime, get Skype, phone her a lot email her webcam her etc.\n\nDon't forget that to 'go to Japan for a few years' you need to get yourself a visa.  There are many kinds of visa for example you could\n\nFinish university:apply for JET(Which gets you a visa):move to Japan. \nor\nSave a lot of money, go to Japan and get a tourist visa, stay as long as possible. \nor\nsame as above but look for a job when you arrive and change your visa to working.(very difficult but possible)\n\nGet married (seems a bit soon for that).\n\nGet student visa or cultural visa.\n\nGet to Japan, meet her family (obligitory) and have a nice life. You just have to bide your time.\n\nBy the way, to get a Visa to live in the UK my wife and I spent, in total about £250, and they wanted another £250 to extend it.  My visa to live in Japan was £6 with unlimited free extentions

I was going to suggest that you go to Japan and wait to be kidnapped, but if you are genuinely interested in studying Korean in North Korea, contact the North Korean Mission to the United Nations in New York.  Request information from the Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations, 820 Second Avenue, New York, New York 10017, tel: (1-212) 972-3105; fax: (1-212) 972-3154.\n\nI recommend that you travel to North Korea first to visit  and familiarize yourself with prospective programs.  You must have a valid US passport and obtain a valid North Korean visa (available only through a third country North Korean embassy - Beijing, China or Paris, France).  Travel into North Korea will undoubtedly be through China (you cannot legally enter through the DMZ), so you will also need a Chinese visa.  You will be viewed with suspicion and hostility from any number of people and organizations, from the moment you apply for the visas, but I am certain you are already aware of this.

go to your county library and ask if there is a Japanese consulate in your area and they can find someone willing to tutor you.

Japan is a country - and a very developed one. There are a huge number of schools in Japan, and I seriously doubt you`ll find a map listing all of them. \nI would suggest you choose one area, and then look for the schools.

Your easiest entre to Japan would be to take an opportunity teaching English.  (Perhaps your breadth of language skills would allow you to teach other languages as well, but English is still in highest demand).  Check into some of the websites below.
