If you want to learn a language in a year, I would not recommend an Asian one, unless that is all that you do. European langs resemble ours more, so you can learn an indo-european one in a year.

But what do you want to do it for? That should be clear to yourself.

I encourage you to do, it will be a life-changing experience. I went to live in Europe for a year and more or less stayed.

Regarding costs, I did a year in Germany when I was learning the language (i.e. not fluent) and it didn’t cost a thing (in 1978, at least), yet the credits were transferable. I met a lot of AMerican kids who paid full tuition a their schools for admin help, yet it was easy for me to arrange things myself.

Good luck.
