    Mine is only $50. Another person I watched said that unless you have horrible GPA then you'll probably get accepted. Imagine all the money you have to pay for tuition. That including visa, school, money for your host parent. I can tell you the youtuber if that could help!

    There is definitely a way! I’m sorry for being late replying. I took a long hiatus from social media. Honestly yes there is a way! You have to get with your school for high school so hopefully they can work something out. I know E2020 is called something different but you can always accelerate your schooling your freshmen year to do so. I would also email a program (like ASSE for example) to see if it’s been done and they’ll really work with you! It was my dream too and it still is possible 💜

I have filled the documents and applied for the exchange, but my Japanese is at a very low level. Do you have any tips for what I should focus my Japanese studying on? Should I focus on self introduction, vocabulary about school, Fraces, kanji or something else. What do you recommend?
