hello!! i dont know if this is the correct subreddit for smth like this, sorry if its not, but my friend and i are both high students going into our senior year. we'd like to spend at least a month in japan during the summer of 2026 before going to college, and were wondering if there are any good programs. we've looked at programs like EF and CIEE, mainly CIEE, but havent decided on anything. we'd both like to study the language, but are both basically flat out beginners (meaning i can only rustily recognize some kana and kanji), so we arent opposed to doing more touristy thing either.
we're on a budget of course, being two very broke high school students, but are looking at scholarships and are planning on working and saving up during this school year.
really im asking for any recommendations on programs or scholarships that would be available. any advice at all pertaining to abroad studies would be helpful though!
