Hello Reddit! We are a French family of four and we would like to move to Japan in late 2025 or early 2026 depending on the school start dates. Our main concern is the school for our children (second grade for one and starting primary school for the other) as they don't speak English. We have one year to learn the basics of a language and we don't know if we have to choose English or dive straight into Japanese. My questions are:
1. Which language should we focus on studying : english or japanese
2. As a non-English speaker, which school did you choose for your children, Japanese or International?
3. Have they coped well with the new changes?
