Hi everyone!
After working for 5 years, I’m planning to take a mini-career break to study Japanese in Japan. Besides improving my language skills, I also want to immerse myself in the culture by joining communities or clubs to meet like-minded locals and expand my social circle!
I’m exploring the best places to study Japanese—whether at universities (e.g., Waseda’s 6-month language program) or language schools. Is there a big difference in terms of learning experience and the opportunities to connect with Japanese students? I’m leaning towards studying at a university because I’d love to join student clubs and make local friends through those.
Has anyone had experience with either option? Will attending those student clubs be the best way to meet local friends?
Thanks in advance!
