Foreign exchange to Japan.

Can I be a Foreign Exchange Student in Japan as a Japanese?

• Here! I put it in little paragraph things so you can read easier ^o^ ~: I am a full blooded Japanese, BORN and RAISED in England. Around me, I have NO Japanese friends except for one who is half. My Japanese is very bad. I can't write. I can write Hiragana and some katakana but I tend forget how to even write some Hiragana. I can write about only 20 Kanji. I can't speak. Well... I can speak very basic Japanese. I'm not fluent at all. My accent is good, I can speak a proper Japanese accent. And of course, I can't read. If it's hiragana, I can but I read very slowly. I don't know much about my own F-cking culture which is damn shocking. And I am very bad mannered as a Japanese. My parents speak to me in Japanese but I respond in English. No matter how much my parents speak to me in Japanese, I still can't speak it. I'm 16 and i have only been to Japan around.... 8-10 times.. I love every moment I spend there whether it's just being bored (at least I'm in Japan) or even being mad. Because I LOVE being in Japan so much but I know so little about the culture and schoolife....etc I want to be an exchange student there for a few weeks or a month or so to know what life is like to actually live there. I have absolutely no idea how foreign exchange works. Anyways, i want to spent time there to learn. But... Can I be a Foreign Exchange student IN Japan AS a Japanese? I technically am foreign to my own nationality because I don't live there.

• Answer:

  yes. you can be a foreign exchange student in japan because you were born and raised in England.
