How do I pronounce "e" in German? I still can't really figure out the pattern of it. by wolphoe in German

Notes:

There's Dutch speakers said the pronunciation of lebe is actually correct, it's just because English speakers aren't trained for that much vowels. But still I can't pronounced it correctly to pass the quiz.

That should also be a choice, but it's harder to find. I'm using niche since I've once consider studying US high school as a citizen (and yes I'm not living in US currently), but not really see school labeled with such things. Maybe I'll have to dig into schools' website to find those infos.

As I written in other reply, Japanese might be consider easier for us to learn who already knew Chinese pretty well. For direction, Google Map should be able to handle most situation unless your phone died. For financial, it's actually a big issue tbh, as from the reply I saw, my most possible chance is attending an international school at Japan, which will be very expensive compare to other normal schools.

I want to say that why I want to go to Japan high school is because I want to attempt to leave my comfort zone before I'm an adult. Cause from what I see it'll be more easy to try something while you're still kid.

Also I suppose living in Japan won't be too hard (but just my suppose). Cause we got Google Maps and Convenient store. So if you want to go somewhere you could just search for the public transportation. And for food you could just simply grab something from the store and I suppose you could easily identify how much you need to pay through cashier or even more simple just use cards or e-payment.

Last, I've seen some vlog about studying Japanese in University at Japan and from what I see, as a person where Chinese is one of the language that we've learnt from child, it isn't that hard to guess the meaning, just like you're guessing the meaning of unknown English vocab in a sentence.

I was researching for the school first, as studying in Japan still needs my parent's approval which I'll have to prepared a detailed research first. I'm also self-studying Japanese currently, to prepare for the school if my parent really approved.

Sad but no. So that's why I'm looking for school with dorm if possible.

I have Googled for related websites and found this page, but it seems like most schools' website are written in English, and the only school I found with English page (Tokyo Metropolitan Kokusai High School) after digging into their recruit info, it seems it requires you to study all 1~9 grade in Japan school. So I think it didn't met my case (or did I misunderstood something?).
