Hey guys! I've got a new guest on my channel today.

To-infinitive

He is also a student in Japan, so I thought it'd be cool to have him come on and answer

some of the most frequently asked questions I get about

The coolest parts about studying in Japan

A whole bunch of different stuff. So both me and Greg are gonna answer your questions!

Sooo how did you end up in Japan? Did you apply for an exchange program through your home

A girl came to our class and she was talking about how

she studied abroad in Japan, and how easy it is...

and how it's affordable! There are so many scholarships you can look into

So then I just thought, I do really wanna go to Japan... so I went to my school's

international centre and I asked them about studying abroad and they

of different schools that I can go to in Japan

Oh cool, yah that's exactly the same as me then. I just went through my home

university had several connections with universities in japan so I could choose what

So when you came here how was your Japanese level?

I studied Japanese for a year before I came here... but the

it's very very slow and we're more concentrated on

other classes like Japanese Literature and Japanese History instead of

actual Japanese language, so it's a lot slower

So how was your Japanese conversation-wise?

How do you find it now that you've been here for

studying in japan has really improved your Japanese a lot faster?

Yeah, I find that as well. It's great to be

language and culture and you have chances to use Japanese

At the post office, you're force to use it.... so you really do learn a lot more than

Okay, one question that I get a lot is how do you afford to go to school in

Japan, isn't the tuition crazy expensive??

I don't find the tuition to be much more expensive than it was in

for post-secondary education. So I don't think the prices change much so

basically the same way you would pay for school anywhere else.

I think Greg is getting student loans from America

from the Japanese government, and from my

and there are many available. I'll post some links down in the description box of

scholarships for foreign students that wanna study in Japan, so check those out :)

Also as a student in Japan you're allowed to work

You're allowed to apply for a working permit.

there are many jobs that you can do here, teaching English or working in a

some universities offer jobs. I work in the office at my university.

But yeah, there are lots of working options so that's also another way that you

trying to make Japanese friends? Do we find it difficult? Do you have any problems

communicating with japanese students? What do you think about that?

hard at times because my Japanese level is not the best

one year in America but it's kind of like I didn't study at all because it was

very slow, and I never used Japanese. So here is kinda like starting all over. But

at our school it's kind of easy at times to make friends depending on if you

or help teach English, something like that.
