Hey guys! I'm here with these cute girls Emily and Mel today!

大家好！今天  可愛的Emily和Mel會和我在一起！

They have a channel called Mango Vlogz - Linked below so go check it out!!

她們有個叫Mango Vlogz的頻道 下面放了連結所以務必去看看！

現在進行式

They are doing a high school exchange here in Japan for one school year

她們在日本的高中進行一個學年的交換

I also did a short exchange for 2 weeks when I was in high school

我高中的時候也進行了兩個星期的交換

So I thought it would be cool to have a conversation together

and answer your questions about doing high school exchanges in Japan!

然後回答關於高中交換的問題會很不錯

I asked you on twitter this morning and I got so many replies!

今天早上我在推特上發文 得到了好多回應！

So I'm just gonna go through your tweets and we're gonna answer your questions!

所以我會滑推文  然後我們 要來回答你們的問題

Do you have to know Japanese really well to go on an exchange?

”你需要掌握日文才能進行交換嗎？“

So they said you have to learn it for at least 2 years for my school

我的學校要求至少學過兩年日文

And even when I came it was still quite hard

但是我來到這裡還是覺得很不容易

And I studied for 2 years so it's probably better to be at least intermediate level

我學了兩年  所以或許有中級日語比較保險

So they had an exam and you had to be able to pass a certain level to qualify?

所以學校會有考試 然後你必須達到一定水準才能成為交換生？

For me, I was only here on a 2 week exchange

and there were no requirements whatsoever

I actually spoke zero Japanese, I knew like 3 words

那時候我不會說日語  我只會三個詞

但我覺得那樣很好玩？真的好好玩

Because everything was new to me, I picked up lots of Japanese while I was here

因為一切都很新鮮  期間也學了很多日語

So if you're just going on a short exchange and they don't require a certain level of Japanese

所以如果只是短期的交換 而學校也不要求任何日語程度

Don't worry at all if you don't speak Japanese

I thought it made the experience more exciting

But in their case they're here for a year and they required it, so

但她們來這裡一年  也需要懂日語

It looks like every case is different, but you may be all right not knowing Japanese

每個情形都不同  不懂日語可能也沒問題

Are exchange students expected to learn the same curriculum as Japanese students?

“交換生會不會被要求和日本學生進行同個課程？”

I'm on a slightly different program to Emily

Because I'm a proper foreign exchange student, I have tests but they're in English

因為我是外國交換生 我的考試都是以英文進行的

So they're aimed at someone who's not native in Japanese

但Emily的考試和日本學生基本上一樣

Oh really, you're taking the same ones as the Japanese students?

是嗎？妳和日本學生做一樣的試卷？

If you don't get a score as high as all the Japanese students, they're okay with it?

如果成績不如日本學生好  老師會說嗎？

We have teachers that will write the furigana on kanji for us

有些老師還會幫我們在漢字上注音

Again, it looks like it's different for everyone and you'll probably have choices about what you wanna do

每個人都不太一樣 所以應該可以選擇

I did some schoolwork in class and they gave me some homework

我只做了一些課堂作業和家庭作業

How much did it cost? Did your school pay for it?

“費用是多少？是學校幫你付的嗎？”

I had to pay all of it because I'm like a normal student

我必須負擔全額 因為我和普通學生一樣

And private school here in Japan is pretty expensive

Our school is the most expensive in Tokyo

Does the price differ for foreign students?

Do you pay a different price than Japanese students do?

你付的學費和日本學生有不一樣嗎？

I think mine cost a bit more because I had to do homestay

我的好像貴一點  因為我有寄宿

And you have to pay for your uniform, and a fee to get into the school

Because I don't take tests, so I have to pay to get in

因為我沒有考試  所以要繳入學費

And textbooks, they never give you the textbooks

As a student, are you allowed to work part time?

You could, but it's gonna be like a whole big meeting

是可以  不過會搞得像一個很大的會議

Ahh to discuss if it's okay to do it or not

They say sometimes for foreign students they can make exceptions

because you might have run out of money, before you finish school

因為你可能會在畢業前就沒錢了

那種情況下是可以允許學生去打工的

Yeah you have to apply for special permission

I've never heard of any year long exchange programs that are free

我沒有聽說過有長達一年的 免費交換計畫

If you're planning on doing one maybe get a part time job

如果想做交換  或許可以找份兼職

So you can help pay for it, maybe your parents will pay the rest

這樣才能支付費用 然後可以請父母幫忙出剩下的

If you don't know Japanese can you still make Japanese friends?

“如果你不會日語 是否能交到日本朋友？”

For me it was really easy to make friends

Everyone's interested in you because you're like the cool foreign person

大家都對妳很感興趣 因為妳是很酷的外國人

There's lots of people interested in foreign music as well

So they'll be the first to come up to you and be like "Do you know Beyonce?"

所以她們會上前來問說： “你知道碧昂絲嗎？”

I don't think language is really a factor in making friends

If you don't speak Japanese and you're trying to make Japanese friends

如果你不懂日語又想交一些日本朋友

and I feel that that will really benefit your language study

Because I wanted to talk to these people but I couldn't

因為我想和這些人說話  但我做不到

So I would try to find phrases that I could use with them and study a bit

所以我會試著找一些能和他們 溝通的短語然後學習

“妳是怎麼知道這個計畫的？”

So I finished school and then I decided to take a year off and go to Japan

我畢業後決定抽出一年時間去日本

Because I wanted to get better at Japanese before university

因為我想讓自己的日語進步再上大學

When I was looking online, all the programs were for America and Canada

我在網絡搜索  所有的課程 都是給美國和加拿大的
