Studying in a language school in Japan from six months up to one year, then start a new life there
Hi guys!
First of all, let me say it's going to be a long post. So thanks in advance if you'll read all of it and reply. Very appreciated.
Well, as how happened to many users passed through this subreddit, in these months I'm seriously thinking to go to a japanese language school in Japan. At least for six months up to one year and see how things go. In the meanwhile finding a full-time job and start to live there. That's the - theorical - final goal and I'm hoping for anwers from the ones who passed into a similar path. So ex-students from japanese language schools, this post is mainly directed to you :)
But before diving into that I have several questions regarding some aspects of my plan - which I'd like to discuss with you - and that I'm going to divide into points to make easier to read:
- The school: after some researches, I ended up choosing the Arc Academy Kyoto. The school is located in an area which I love (I already been in Kyoto) and I feel like every aspects of it are suitable for me. But.. I'd like to hear your experience in this school! Also, I'm open to hear opinions about other schools, just to figure out how they are
- Costs: even if I've already figured out how much will cost the school, the staying and the flight, in these days I'm wondering about other costs: food, transportation and a sim/internet. And if you have some tips and tricks about how to save money regarding these ones, feel free to share
- Future job: maybe the most important point. From what I've understand, the school will guide me to find a part-time job during my staying in Japan in order to gain some money. Fine. But what about finding a full-time job? From what I've learned in these weeks, to work in Japan you need a bachelor degree or 10 years experience in your work field.. and I have neither one nor the other. But browsering on the internet I've read about many people who start another life in Japan without them, even if these people, never explained how gained a working-Visa and what kind of working-Visa was.
To summorize: how can I get a working-Visa while studying in Japan? I'm a 29yo developer with 4 years of prior experience, anyway.
Maybe I was a little long-winded, but I wanted to be clear in my questions because I think that many in my same situation may have similar doubts.
Ah and sorry if I've made some grammar mistakes. English is not my native language and for some reasons, I had to be quickly writing this post.
TLTR: 29yo who want to study japanese in Japan at a language school, in order to find a full-time job and start to live there with a working-Visa. I'm wondering about the quality of the school I have choosen, cost of food-transportation-internet/sim and how to find a full-time job
