I am planning to study abroad near Torrance from the end of July to the end of August this year, but I don't know how to find a homestay.
Since I will only be there for one month, I would like to go to an adult school without an F1 visa, and I would like to experience cross-cultural exchange and communication in English with a homestay family.
I have heard from people that it is difficult to find a homestay family for a short period of time,
・ I would like to know how to find a homestay family
・
or how to look for one in [VIVINAVI]. （ ; ; ）

I am in my fourth year of university. I would like to study abroad （ for the rest of my university life, which I have not had a chance to do so far ） for the purpose of sightseeing and interacting with people with different values, cultures and languages
even for a short period of time. I know it is difficult to improve my English in a short period of time.
（ I have been listening to the same TED speech dozens of times, but I would really like to know if there are any other study methods I should try before I go ！ ！ ）

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I would appreciate any advice or comments ！.

If you look for a homestay through Vivinavi, you will be studying in a home with someone who can speak Japanese, and it will be difficult to experience a different culture and language, so I think it would be better to look for an agent who can help you by using a search engine in Japanese and searching for "study abroad in America for one month".

If you look for a homestay without an agent, it will be difficult if you get into trouble, so I think it is better to do so even if it costs some money. I think it is usually a package deal, and they will also arrange language schools and plane tickets for you.

I'm sure you can find a guest room on Airbnb with an American owner, even for a month
but will they accept adult school on a tourist visa ？ and even before that they are always full so you can't get a reservation
experience another culture in Torrance ？ （ lol （ lol ） I can't do that （ I'd have to rent a car and leave LA for a month. lol ） lol I can't do that lol ） If it's only a month, I'd rent a car and leave LA and go somewhere else
You'll see more of America that way

2 Any language school is a business if you don't need a visa, so you're welcome to jump in. If you have any questions, do your own research.

Maybe you should ask the language school.

First of all, I can absolutely say this, this forum is a bunch of jerks, myself included. As you can see from the "looking for friends" and the like, it's a place where a bunch of old farts have a lot of free time on their hands. There are also a lot of perverts. There is no way you can get decent advice in a place like this.

This kind of information is negative from Japanese society.
Don't get involved with those who take tourists and foreign students for suckers.

Can't we just go to a hostel in Torrance ？ I think a hostel would be fine for English speaking purposes, but we could hang out together and make friends.

A long time ago, I also attended an adult school on a tourist visa （ B-2 ）. At that time, I asked a Japanese agency to find a homestay for me as well. The school did not ask me what type of visa I had, but I remember there was a limit to the number of classes I could take per week if I was on ESTA. I think you need to be careful when you go through the immigration check.

I don't know if they still exist, but there was an office of Center for American Studies in Little Tokyo, and they may be able to introduce you to a homestay family.

I'm going to start talking about the same old thing again
I've got a B-2 visa, and it's too appropriate to talk about it along the same lines as a no-visa visa.

Teenagers who are not accompanied by an adult are not allowed to enter the country

I heard that entry for those under 15 years old now requires an adult chaperone.
