So I’m 15 and I really want to go either the summer or year to Japan, but I have a lot of questions and wonder if I could really do it (It’s my dream to one day move to japan after I learn the language, but going there so soon?!) Next year I start going to a school that teaches Japanese (The school is a magnet it was designed for teaching Japanese and Chinese)

-Do the host fams speak english?
-Do the schools speak english?
-Would it be hard for me to go there not knowing any Japanese?
-How hard is it to make friends?
-Would it be better for me only to go for the summer, because I only know english?
-How would I be able to pass school if i only know English?
-Are the school hours or days different?
-Any thing I should know?

Thank you so much! ^_^
