How to Host Japanese Foreign Exchange Students
Assume the student speaks imperfect English and adjust your expectations accordingly. While all Japanese exchange students will speak some English, it is highly unlikely they will speak English at anywhere near a native ability, and they will probably have trouble understanding native speakers in a social setting.
Speak clearly and avoid idioms. Japanese speakers are keyed to certain distinct sounds, and similar-sounding words, unclear words, or words spoken in a dialect can be difficult for them to discern. Of course, don't speak slowly in a loud voice as this would be condescending and rude. The student will want to learn idioms, but take it slow.
Write things down. Your exchange student may not be able to understand everything you say, but he will more than likely be able to read what you write.
Show, don't tell, when familiarizing the student with the house. To avoid unfortunate or embarrassing misunderstandings, show the student while you explain things. Japanese students have studied a lot of English for travel, school and business. Unfortunately, they study very little about common household tasks such as 'hang the laundry,' 'turn down the TV,' or even 'lock the door.'

How to Create a .org Website
Decide on the name of your website (called the 'domain name'), and check to see if that domain name is available. There are numerous companies online called domain name registrars that own domain names and will test name availability. Not all registrars offer .org domain name extensions; for a list of accredited registrars with .org domain extensions, visit the Public Interest Registry's list at http://www.pir.org/get/registrars. (See Reference 1, Reference 3)
Follow the instructions for purchasing and setting up the website domain specified by the particular domain registrar used. In addition to testing the availability of the website name, the registrar may also offer domain name suggestions based on the website's purpose, as well as hosting the site itself.
Choose a website hosting service to maintain the site's online presence, if the domain name registrar is not used for this purpose. There are hundreds of reputable hosting services, and the best way to find one is to determine the needs of the website. It is important to take the following criteria into consideration: cost, technical support and reliability, and capability for handling website size and traffic. (See Reference 2)
Hire a web designer or company to create the pages of the website. It is important to have a professional design the website due to the vast knowledge required for search engine optimization, quality of content, usability and aesthetic appeal.

How to Find Email Domains
Select a domain name registrar. You may choose one of the registrars offered in the resource section of this article, or pick one on your own. Every domain name registrar has access to the same information. No domain name registrar is better than any other when it comes to finding out if a domain name is available for a custom email. The difference lies in the fees each registrar charges for registering a domain name through their services, as well as any additional services offered by the company (such as web or email hosting services). Selecting a domain name registrar that also offers email hosting services will make setting up a custom email address easier.
Type the domain you would like to use for your custom email address in the field box designated for domain name lookup on the registrar's website. Remember that the format of a domain name is as follows: a name, followed by a dot (or period), followed by the server type (such as 'com,' 'net,' or 'org'), such as 'example.com' or 'example.net'.
Submit your request to check the availability of this domain name by clicking the button for 'Search, 'Go,' 'Find It,' or whatever button the registrar's website has designated for submitting a domain name lookup request. The search will take a few seconds. If the domain you've selected is not available (because it's currently registered to someone else) the registrar may provide you with a list of alternative, available domain names that are similar to your first choice. If the domain you've selected is available, the registrar will give you the opportunity to register it through their services for a small fee (generally no more than $10 per year, but this fee varies among registrars).
Use the services of a domain name registrar to register the available domain name you want to use for your email address.
Sign up with an email hosting service. If you selected a domain name registrar with email hosting services, you can register the domain name and sign up for email hosting services all in one place. If you selected a domain name registrar that does not offer email hosting services, you will have to shop around for an email host.
