It's so annoying isn't it :P.
Haha, well you're definitely in the right mindset for it then, sounds like you'll have a blast with it

Korean for me doesn't actually start until next year as they prefer for you to focus on Japanese in Y1. They expect you to take one unit of Korean culture in English in year 1, but as I changed half way through the year I'm not taking this course - I think I have to do it in my fourth year instead. But I'm looking forward to it! Let the stress of dual language learning begin :P. Whilst you're on your year abroad ofc your priority is the Japanese (and that counts for 4 modules), but whilst you're in London each year is 50:50

Haha, you sound a lot like me - I definitely made the right choice not going to Oxbridge. My mum went to Oxford (the town) for a holiday not so long ago, and visited the uni there, and said I would have absolutely hated it because there's so many customs, traditions, etc. London on the otherhand is a marvellous city and a wonderful place to study
. Hope your language convention goes well tomorrow! By the way, is it this September you're hoping to get in?
It's more whether you can prove you're motivated and able for Japanese rather than just having 'a language' so don't worry, I hated and was crap at Spanish too :P. I actually was fortunate enough to do the A-level in Japanese so I never took the JLPT - I'm not totally sure of the best resorces for it either
If you ask in the Japanese Society in the Modern Languages forum someone there might be able to point you in the right direction though

Not at all, I hope your application goes well as this is definitely a brilliant place to be, especially for Japanese
. Any other questions just let me know
