Hi everyone. I’m applying for an homestay experience in Japan. It will be my first time in Japan and my first experience hosted by someone for a long period of time. More specifically, I’ll stay in Kyoto for 3 months meanwhile attending a language school. It’s my priority to study and learn japanese above visiting and trying everything, so I wish to have great people in the family to spend time with.
Is there someone who made this experience and can suggest me tips (on application form documents) to be assigned to the right family? is it better-based on your experience or experience of your friends- to be hosted by a couple with or without kids? what about a single-parent family? do you suggest me to sign up for a program that includes breakfast or both breakfast and dinner?
also, how was to live in a japanese family? how did you feel most of the time? what them cooked for you? would you repeat the same experience? did it worth your money? is it a wise choice for whom wants dive in Japanese language immersion and learn as fast as possible?
{if this text message sounds to you like broken english is because it’s not my first language and I still do mistakes, sorry!}
thank you
