Welll my school has a program this year where you can sign up to study in another country for like half a semiester/year and i was wondering how that worked??
Don't you need to know some of the language before you go???? ( like japanesse for japan)
Have any of you been exgange students??
I heard that you stay at someones house and when you come back they stay at your house........?
The places i can go are :
-Japan
-China
-Netherlands
-France
-England
-Australia
-USA
- and i donno cant remeber right now >.<
BTW im a Chinese Canadain. Like i know like perfect english ( i cant spell tho >.<) and know how to speak cantonnese but dont no how to write.
I went twice to Ireland as an exchange student to practise english and work but I knew the language before the experience which was great and you'll make some friends, it's a great oportunity.
If I were you, I would move to Japan or China!
Nobody came here to my house, but I stayed in a family house when I was there.
I think that it depends on the country that your staying with and the type of program, your going to take apart of. I plan on doing the same thing next year if i have all the general requirements.
Say like Japan or China, I believe that most require you to know at least one year of that language or maybe even a semester.
You should check with your advisor about that, they could set it straight for you.
Well, knowing how to speak a little bit of the language would be nice. And knowing the culture as well. I'm Chinese and I know how to speak Cantonese too! And I would really like to go to Hong Kong as an exchange student. It's a great place since you know Cantonese and it's a fashion paradise there! <3
Japan and Korea would be nice too. :]
Well i found out that i dont really need to know the language ( but i imagein it would be useful >.<) because theyrer sending me to a international school type thingy. And i am Chinese aswell I speack Cantonesse too ! But i have already been to Hong Kong and wanted to go to Japan for a newer experience. ALSo my parents both know how to speack jananess and i was planning to learn from them... Has anyone here been an exchange program anywhere? How was ur experience?
I'm going to Japan with Rotary in August and I will be staying there for a year. Even though I'm not on exchange yet, I'm positive that it will be the best decision I have ever made. Go for it.
Being an Exchange Student???
