Bella Abroad

Hi! My name is Bella and I studied abroad to Japan when I was 16! I am a Japan Tiktoker and I make content about Japan as well! This channel is going to be my journey with living abroad and exploring other places around the world! I would be so honored if you would follow my journey with me! 💕

    I know I'm a bit late watching this video. But, I'm currently in the 8th grade and I want to study abroad in the 10th grade. I'm just having a difficult time deciding where I want to study abroad to (either Japan or South Korea). And I wanted to know if there is a way I can do both! Like, if I were to study in Japan one year. Then South Korea the next year. Am I able to do that?! 💗

    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 💜

    Hello Bella! 😊I’m going to Japan (high school exchange) halfway throughout 2022 and will stay there for a year. 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? (If someone that’s been on exchange are seeing this comment, than feel free to come with suggestions also❤️❤️)
