I just told my parents “yo I wanna go on foreign exchange” and they’re like “aight cool but you need to make sure you get it arranged and make sure you graduate and stuff also apply for scholarships “
I’m in my freshman year but I’m preparing and planing my schedule around foreign exchange and I’m so pumped
@Violet Evergarden omg that’s incredible!
Samee but im starting hs next year. Im suoer scared tbh
@Brooke Mcconnell same
Violet Evergarden That’s so awesome!
My parents where like, can you become an exchange student in Japan, and they used to say it all the time. But here I am now, an exchange student in japan
I’m 13 rn and I think I want to leave to South Korea as an exchange student and I am worried that I won’t be smart enough because I do have some learning disabilities such as math and comprehension ??♀️?sooo yeahh
Same I live in the United States and I wanna be n exchange student in Germany buy I have a hard time in school?
aestatee Haha yes I used to read harry potter as a child
@oikawarulesmyworld o think ya know the story of harry potter who lived with aunt and uncle too
@Teeny Tinu ik 3 languages fluency and nothing different
Tip: to come you should learn Korean language. Because it may be hard
Man this seems really scary, because the whole language part.
That’s why I’m going to England lol
it is easy believe me if youre immersed and surrounded by people you will catch up veeery quickly and be surprised of urself
at least if you try enhancing your language skills or just learning it
Humans are made to adapt so once you’re in the environment you’ll easily adapt to it. Trust me
I’m trying so hard to convince my mom.
Update: it worked.
4 months later what happened?
EEEEPPPPP congratzz!
@Ashlynn York Bon courage dans notre pays terrible ?
@Emily France 🙂
Which country?!
My parents Said yes immediately and I was so happy. I started searching for organizations with my mom and now I found it I feel weird. Like I feel like I don’t wanna leave because I just started high school and I love it but at the same time I want to go. Idk what to do. Any advices?
Emily the vintage girl next door im home at my country and im going on an exchange in USA 2021/2022
@Adna Modronja where r u now?
Ashlyn Kusch I want to go I really do but money is a big problem and I can’t really get scholarship
honestly, you should do it, because if you don’t, you’ll regret it when you’re older. Trust me it’s worth it
I want to go to japan
how do you talk to your host family, do they all know english?
@Phillipe Martin lol
Usually you’re host family is not allowed to speak you’re native language so you are able to practise speaking there native language
@koo’s pout i always make quiz with my parents of english and they know how to say and write only “hi”

Things to look into when choosing a country to live in or visit
1. Does the country allow Dual Citizenship?
2. What is the crime rate of that country?
3. Is there any conflict in that country?
4. Is that country exceptionally poor?
5. Is there any dangerous weather conditions?
6. What is the climate of that country?
7. Is the water in that country safe to drink? Is there famine? Is there an ongoing crisis?
8. Do the people of that country speak a different language(s)?
9. Do the people of that country believe in a different religion(s)?
10. What are the customs and culture of that country?
11. What is the political status of that country?
12. What is the cost(s)/expenses of living in that country?
13. How well is the technology in that country?
14. How well is the medical care in that country?
Dalayla V yes. But if you get to choose your city, you need to make sure of the crime rate. They’ll choose most countries like Colombia even though it has drug trafficking and Venezuela even though it has political issues.
I would think that if this program is allowing kids to go wouldn’t it be safe
Yay thanks
I have to do lots of research… But, it will be worth it!
steps 2: “convince your parents” well im not good at that. im scared if they said ‘no’ they are so strict. :<
i want to be an exchange student in USA, my mom accepted it and now only thing im worrying about is if i get accepted . can you do video like what they ask you in interview and more… pls
Which organization did you choose?
I’m going into high school soon and through out my six and seventh grade years I have considered becoming an exchange student. This would definitely be something out of my comfort zone but it would be enlightening. I was thinking about exchanging to either Japan, Korea or France. Your tutorial was extremely helpful and I’m sure I will be able to follow these steps but my only problem will be convincing my parents. We haven’t been out of the country before so it would be a new experience for them to let me travel to a whole other country, Alone! I’m worried that I won’t be convincing enough or that they will just be too paranoid to let me go..any advice?
Oooh i’m from France ! If you need advice about it i would gladly help ! ?
Flower 花 Funny you should ask! I just made a video about this with my dad so he shares the parent’s perspective and maybe ideas for you to mention when you talk to them. I had never been out of the country either before so I understand how it seems a little far fetched… don’t be fooled it is totally possible. You just have to prove you’re serious and willing to work for it. I got a job for example and went and talked to my counselor to figure out how I would graduate on time. Doing all of this shows how it is REALISTIC.
so how do I apply ? and where do I apply ? If I’m 14 and turning 15 in October do I apply right now to leave next year
isabella garcia I think you would have to talk about it with a school counselor
I honestly think that the step where I have to get my parents consent would probably be the hardest part??
Same my parents I real stubborn ?
My step sister was already foreign exchange so as long as I get a job when I’m sixteen it shouldn’t be too hard to convince my parents to let me be foreign exhange
@Hills xo I already get good grades so I can’t really convince them with that
I plan on bribing my parents. Good grades that is all A+’s in exchange for an exchange
My parents said “I don’t care….wait how long?! No!”
My mom asked me if I wanna go?
nice! Which organisation did you choose?
Her: you don’t have to be rich
Also her: cOsT FrOm tWo tHoUsANd To thREe tHouSAnd doLlaRs
That’s not that much money, assuming your fifteen or sixteen and live in the USA, get a day job for a month and a half or so, and you’ll have more than enough money. And if you don’t wanna get a job, you’re not fit to be an exchange student, if you cant even work a 4 hour shift at taco bell 3 times a week, dont travel across the world by yourself.
I really want a hot British guys as my exchange student
Mendes armyyy
I lived in England for 12 years, British men are mostly not hot ?
@Dario cochelli for real *roadmen intensifies*
@Big_Toz XDDD
Good luck im fucking ugly
How do you make up for the missed time, and credits back in America?
Luke_ It isn’t for me, I still have to plan around foreign exchange and get all my credits in. I’m taking an English and history class next summer online and I’m taking two science classes this year to get all my credits in
@Luke_ nope wasn’t for me, they’re not all that nice

The fact that you will have the fact you went to high school in a foreign country on your transcript is enough
