Learn Japanese in Japan

If you want to learn Japanese thoroughly, study Japanese in Japan. There are many opportunities to learn Japanese in Japan. The best place to begin learning about the Japanese is via the official Study in Japan: a Comprehensive Guide, prepared by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and available at Studyjapan.go.jp. It lays out everything: the reasons to learn Japanese, selecting a school, immigration procedures, part-time work in Japan, and more. For students planning to enter Japanese universities, it lists several Japanese-language institutes that offer the college preparatory course designated by the Minister of Education.

The official Japanese government site also includes one encouraging "message from an alumnus." I encourage you to go further. Search the Web for feedback from students who have experienced student life in Japan. If you can't find any, ask a university in Japan if there are international students who will tell you about their experiences. At a major university, the faculty of Japanese can connect you with students to counsel you.
