Most Japanese schools do not have ESL class like US schools do. You have to go to an international school. But they are expensive.

Look into homestay (foreign exchange student) programs. While they prefer a student with some language knowledge, it is frequently not a requirement. Bring a dictionary and you'll survive. You may just walk away from the experience being completely fluent. Edit: I don't think he needs ESL. Student visas are relatively easy to get, if you're a student, Find a qualified homestay program and they will arrange it for you. Also, if you want to really learn the language, go to a small city where it's less likely that there will be English spoken. The friends I have here who did that have the best Japanese. At 15, you still have a good capacity to learn new languages and the more you need it to get around, the quicker you'll learn. BTW, the homestay program won't put you in a place with no support. Your host family will be ready to help you.

You don't say how old you are.You would need a student or work visa to enter Japan.You need a four year degree to work there.Check out the site below.It will tell you what you need to do to qualify for each visa.

if you go to Hiroshima theres an international centre which holds free japanese courses you can join any time and also postbored oh classes from exchange to teach english but if you not going to hiroshima just look out for international centres

I'm assuming that you're not coming over on an exchange programme with my answer. It basically depends on the school you go to. You will almost certainly be expected to attend Japanese lessons outside of your regular school time. At one elementary school we had a Russian girl come over who knew no English or Japanese. The local government employed someone who had studied Russian to be her constant aid during school for about a year. On the other hand, I know of some schools that try to weasel their way out of having to accept a foreign student by making things incredibly difficult for the parents etc. On a legal note, foreign children are not required to attend public schooling, but they cannot be refused if they wish to attend their local school.

Can I take out a loan (like a private/personal) loan to pay for my language schooling in Japan
Can I take out a loan (like a private/personal) loan to pay for my language schooling in Japan?
My dad screwed it up so I cannot receive any financial aid or federal loans, so please don't respond with "file for financial aid or fill out the fafsa". Basically I am going to be studying in Japan beginning January for 3 months at a language school and then transferring to a 2 yr language college (also in Japan). The cost of everything (like everything) will come to about $37,000. Is it possible to take out a loan for a language school? I will be going back to college in the US right after that, and finish getting my degree in Japanese and Business. So is it possible to get a loan for a language school (that is working toward my knowledge for my degree {ie japanese}) and deferring the payment til I granduate from college. I read that most are just for actual universities...so it there any that the language school and language college would qualify for?

This is a tough one... I wouldn't begin with a loan of $37,000, it's unrealistic that anyone would loan you that much money upfront. Rather, consider all your expenses for the first year... say $10,000. It's possible you would qualify for an unsubsidized loan from a bank. Keep in mind, though, that interest accrues BEFORE you graduate instead of afterwards as subsidized loans do.

If possible, you should try and get yourself into some Advanced Art classes. This could teach you the arts of shading, backgrounds and texture. You can also teach yourself to do this stuff. I believe you can only teach yourself to be good at drawing and designing. You don't really need a degree to work for Square-Enix.

Going to Japan at age 16
Going to Japan at age 16?
What would I have to do if I wanted to move to Japan at age 16 to live and go to school in Japan?

16? Can you convince your parents to move their too? It's not exactly cheap to live in Japan. You can probably make some money teaching English part-time, but who's going to pay for your accomodation and everything else? You might want to ask your school guidance counselor about exchange programs. Almost every city in Japan has a "sister city" (or a few) paired up with other cities around the world. It's very likely that your city has a sister city in Japan that you may not know about. You might be able to swing an exchange to that city. A lot of people do that. You're going to have to do some research. Just keep asking, and don't believe all the "no's" you'll inevitably hear. People just don't know. You have to be persistent. In general, Japanese love it when someone comes over from the West.

I was sixteen when I first went to Japan. There are many great exchanges out there, some which offer fiancial assistance, some don't. But it is definately the easiest way to go. I answered a similar question a while ago. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnPZZIQ47K6PD3NZQLtWEa3ty6IX?qid=20070618012049AARRvTh&show=7#profile-info-dqE7psY0aa Good Luck!

Well I'm not that 16 yet but I am planning to go as an exchange student. you could always try that. here's a good program that I wanna use. http://www.intraxstudyabroad.com/japan/academic-year-semester

If you really are Black, I wouldn't advise going to Japan. You're in for a rude awakening. Very few Japanese respect Blacks at all. If you're willing to go through a sexless, lower than third-class citizen experoience, then Japan is for you. If you aren't Black, then you might find it enjoyable.
5 :
I think you should wait until university. You can do some university exchanges.
