How to afford language school
Hi everyone,
In March, I am moving to Japan to attend a language school in Tokyo. I need to pay for it in a month. The tuition is about $3,000 and the place to stay is about $4,000. I'm trying everything to get this money together. I made a fund-my-travel https://www.fundmytravel.com/Nace-Co...436217/updates and I have a part time job. I'm looking for a second job. There are no scholarship, loan, or financial aid opportunities from my school or any other organizations. I'm getting so frustrated and desperate. Has anyone else done this before? Does anyone have any ideas of how to get the money together? Thank you in advance! |
I had posted this link once somewhere in JF.

Thank you but I've seen this video. Sharla went to Japan through an American University, as did her friend. I'm going to a language school which is different and much harder to get the money for.

Hi, I am currently studying at a Japanese language school in Kyoto. Note that certain schools offer scholarship, you should take advantage of that if you can. Also you can get a part-time job as an English teacher or something similar for your first months. My Japanese was at level 0 when I arrived here but after just ~1-3 months I was able to communicate pretty well with my friends.
It's hard getting the money but it's not impossible. You can do it, がんばって ;) |
Sometimes you have to put things on the back burner until you are really ready for it. If you don't have sufficient funds, then you're not ready. Keep saving and when you have enough, then go. Japan will still be there. Some people nowadays want instant gratification/results and that is not always a possibility.

Nothing's a possibility until I make it one. I'd rather go and try my hardest and get sent back home than wait until the fall. I'm the most stubborn kid in the world and I will go in the spring because I'm going to get myself there. :ywave: |
