I am going with my mom for 4 months in a Japanese high school (from january to april so might not be 4 months but 3 in school). I have had japanese lessons in the past (think i am around n5 level), know maybe 200 kanjis but suck at understanding what people say. The school is a very traditionnal high school, and no one speaks my native language (french) and i doubt lots of people actually speak english. But since i am going for not a long time, and it will mostly be classes, so not really talking or chatting with people, do you think my japanese could improve? If yes, how much? I have a good memorie and am really passionated about learning the language and the culture, plus really like to talk with people but i am scared other students won't make lots of efforts to communicate since i need people to be slow and patient. Also, how are japanese high schoolers with exchange/foreign students? Will i be welcome or not? Will i have to make first moves (which i don't really know how to make since i have a small vocabulary) or is there teenagers there that are really extraverted and that would come and talk to me? Thank you for answering🙏🙏
