My daughter also has a similar Korean dream -- and we are in the San Jose area and she is in high school!  Look at San Jose State University (or talk to a counselor at SJSU) and you will find that they have an international study abroad program -- including KOREA!  No, they do not teach Korean at SJSU, but....you could do a semester or year abroad in Korea (I've read that some Korean schools will even pay you if you teach English to other students because they are very hungry to know English).  You need to get your parents, or yourself to go to SJSU and check it out.  Forget UCLA.  Go to SJSU, go on a semester or year abroad in Korea, AND get college credit -- depending on what else you like, maybe major in computers, Education, or Asian Studies.  Most majors will let you do study abroad and give you credit.  That way, you'd be in your home area, get your education, and learn Korean while LIVING there!  Check out the San Jose State University website and search for Study Abroad programs, and if you can't find it like that, then just email one of the departments you're interested in.  Good luck.  It is definitely possible!

Berkeley - in general - Berkeley's campus has a stronger program particularly when it comes to East Asian Studies simply because they will find professors from the top East Asian universities - such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Seoul University. UC Irvine's east asian studies - no doubt is very strong but I would say Berkeley's is stronger.

they will take any undergrad and in some cases take anything to teach English in Asia\nbut if you want to continue with teaching you should go with education (and you will also find better jobs in Asia with an Ed. degree)

Lol, well you can post a personal ad on Yahoo personals and answer everything with Japanese characteristics, or you can go to Japan Town in San Francisco, CA. Try a yahoo yellow page search for Japanese culture: churches, food, stores...Good luck hun!

Any Ivy League School will be great. Undergrad at SMU or Yale and Grad at Harvard, Yale, or Columbia will give you the best in what you want.

Stephen K. Hayes used to have a dojo but that was a long time ago. Try GOOGLE. You'll probably have to go to Japan for that these days.

Try asking this question under Travel-South East Asia-Japan\n\nI think you will find a more intellegent answer there.\n\nThere many wonderful Japanese people always willing to help.

Japan would love to have you!  If you're in college, see your study abroad office for home-stay and study abroad opportunities.  Most are the same cost a semester's tuition, though there are scholarships you can apply for.  If you've already graduated, look into teaching positions (like the JET Program) so you can study in Japan during your free (non-teaching) time.  I live here, teach English, study Japanese when I can...and love it!  Good luck!

What is your area of specialization (Eastern Europe, seventeenth century, contemporary Asia, etc.)?\n\nThere are limitless opportunities for which a history major with expertise in a geographical area or time period would be an excellent candidate.\n\nDo you have any languages?  \n\nWhat do you love doing?  What are your passions?  \n\nAnswer these questions, and I'll reply with some suggestions!
