Hi!! Could I ask you if youre under or over 18 please? I think I didnt have a supervisor when I went because I was 18. My friend was 16 tho, so I can ask her for her experience :)

@@barrborrah Hi i am gonna have 16 this year so yes I am under 18 ty for responding me so fast

No probleeeem:))) Ill ask my friend and let you know!! But I dont think she had any supervisor or anything, we had a lot of free time!

@@barrborrah OK tysmmmmmm i’ll wait

Hi!! I went in 2017, so the price has probably changed a lot sinde then:( It also depends on what country youre flying from, for example Im from the Czech republic, so its pretty far :D so it really really depends

hi!! thank you so much<3 that made me happy. It really depends on your age :) If youre under 18 there are some guidelines you have to follow, usually a curfew, but pretty normal, maybe like 10 pm? It also depends on your host family, some families give you a key and they dont care, like mine. Some dont give you a key and you have to tell them when youre coming back so they can open the door for you:) Its usually fine to come back late, but be careful because trains stop going super soon!!

@@barrborrah ty for the info!!!

no problem 🥰 feel free to message again if you need anything! and HAVE FUUUUUUN

aww thank you!! 😭 youre the sweetest

xddd!

ahahah yeah, we just went to the shop and picked everything up 😆 Might try it again after a few years now, maybe Im gonna like it 🤭

thank you!!!🫶🏻

hahaha yeah 😭 some stuff you cant find anywhere else in the world

Hi!! Ive only had a positive experience, so I highly recommend it for sure!! :) Ive been for 3 weeks, not the whole summer, so that might be a different program, Im not sure. But for me it was truly life changing, I made friends who are still one of the closest people to me, aswell as going abroad for the first time alone, that was such an important experience for me. So all together Id say, if you have the means, do it, haha. I also did a home stay and the family was lovely! :) Hope that helps, let me know if you have any specific questions.

me too, im searching a lot about ef, im in doubt, but this video made me think its a rlly good idea

@@xxxy22-ud4ck awww!!! Im so happy to hear that!! ❤️❤️ That made my day ahaha. Definitely go for it I had the best time :)

Not gonna lie, that was the most expensive part - BUT you put money on your card and spend exactly that amount, so it really depends on your travels. As far as I know you cant get any better deals with a monthly card or something like that. I would also recommend looking into JR passes, which you can get for a week or 2 weeks or a month and so on and travel unlimited time on JR railways. If youre traveling to Kyoto or other cities it might be worth it :) Its a lot of money, but I think think to Kyoto and back is the same amount. Hope that helps!

What’s your son’s language level?:) I think I joined the second beginners one - so I knew hiragana and katakana and some basics, but they also have a class for people who know no japanese at all, and of couse intermediate and advanced aswell:) When you come in you take a test to figure out the level and you go from there. There are most people in the novice level or couse. The classes are very fun and interactive, teachers are super fun and everybody I met was also lovely. Depending on the lenght of stay and also the intensity, you could learn a lot, but for me the biggest take away was that it helped me with shyness and talking ☺️

hihhihihi

i invented girl dinnnneeeer

awwwww, you the bestttttt fr fr

hello!! im not sure actually:/ I got the trip as a present so the flights were included. But once you arrive there is an EF person waiting for you with a car to take you to your accomodation (check if thats the case). And then at the end my host family helped me find a bus to the airport :) And at the airport there should be english signs aswell so dont worry!

:dd<3

楽しそうー！！！

@@barrborrah i wish there was some way japan could reopen the Tokyo Tower so future generations can experience The Adventures of The Straw Hats. Considering The tower was a hot-spot for One Piece Fans to get there hands on Collectibles & Rare items not to mention the shows they had there were amazing

@monkeydrajanka4798 yeah!! i agree!! that would be amazing 😍 it was so so great

awww thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻 🥰

hehhehe u always da #1 totoo xd

Hi! My experience was honestly amazing. They were a couple with two dogs and no kids, studied uni in Germany so we could speak in English. I was over 18, so I got my own keys and could come and go as I wanted. Every day they asked me if I wanted to eat dinner with them, so some days I stayed in, it was always amazing home cooked japanese food, but most of the time I was out ahha. My friends all had very good experiences aswell. One friend who was under 18 also got her own keys, one other friend didnt, so the family had to wait for her in the evening, but I guess that really depends on your age + what their rules are, but Id say most families are really chill and curious about the students, also theyre very used to foreigners, so dont worry too much about the cultural differences. I also brought them some small gifts from my country as a thank you:)) But yeah, it was great. If you have any other questions feel free to ask:) I was also scared haha

Oh, I'm traveling to Japan with EF on May 28th and staying for 4 weeks. I'll probably see you there.

@@jazminegreenberg Omg! I will be arriving June 17th! So maybe!

@@barrborrah this was reassuring. thank you!!! <3333

noooo what the heck, thats so unlucky… :( if you ever get the chance to go definitely do it, it was honestly amazing 🥺

❤️❤️❤️Awwww
