I am posting here hoping I can get some advice on learning Japanese while in Japan. To fill you in on my scenario, I:
– Will be staying in Japan for 4-5 months on a WHV
– have a host family in Tokyo I will stay with
– am slightly below N4 in Japanese proficiency
– have a friend in Japan
– money is not too big of a problem
I was wondering how much Japanese can I expect to learn while living in Japan? I am hoping that my Japanese ability will still increase through talking to friends and host family. I know of weekly volunteer driven Japanese lessons in the area I’ll be moving to which I think may be beneficial (?). If anyone has advice on how they leveraged living in Japan, as well as friends or their host family to increase their proficiency, it would mean a lot.
Also, please let me know if you have a recommendation for spots to study in Tokyo (preferably western Tokyo)
