Exchange Student
International Student, Foreign Student
noun
Remember 留学, which means "study abroad"? Do you also remember 学生, which is "student"? This word is like those two words mashed together (they share a 学), making it a "study abroad student." What's a better way to say that? How about exchange student!
りゅうがくせい
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
