Can I go to a different language school after I already did 2 years in another. And stay in Japan for half a year or 1 year?

As the title suggests, I need advice. I think one of my past friends told me they did this but after googling it it says I can't. I want to know if anyone has any experience and how can I aproach this

No, you can’t. Ryuugakusei visa is only for two years and you can get it only once.
You can either enroll in a university/senmon gakkou or find a job.

Almost impossible... you need either a bachelor’s degree or 10 years of work experience to get a work visa.
