Hello! I am currently located in the United States, looking to move to Japan in 1.5-2 years. I would love some advice here:
I’m currently a jeweler. There is a technical college of jewelry design in Osaka that is my dream to attend. However, it requires JLPT N2, and I’m currently only at N5. It is still my goal to move there in this timeline.
My main question is if it’s more feasible to attend language school for a year to achieve N5 before going straight to the jewelry school.
I have the next two years to study, I’ll be going from full-time to part-time in my field of work to allow myself time to study the language every day. I have a savings built to move to Japan, but I am considering upping my hours to make more money and save for an additional year of college to solidify my language studies.
I’d love to know everyone’s personal thoughts and experience on this. I’m the only person I know to make a move like this so if there is anything I’m not considering, please let me know !
ありがとうございます！
