How to express: I am going to Japan to study?


This is an exercise from Genki 1, Chapter 12.

Now the way I would word that sentence is: 私{わたし}は日本{にほん}に勉強{べんきょう}しに行{い}きます。
However, I put that same [English] phrase in Google Translate and got this:
私は日本に[留学]{りゅうがく}つもりです。 So now I'm not sure which translation is correct. Since
the exercise didn't specify, we'll assume that the person is studying the
Japanese Language.

So which one is correct? My translation or Google's translation?




I am going to Japan to study: 日本に勉強しに行く

I am going to Japan to study the Japanese language: 日本に[日本語]{にほんご}を勉強しに行く

I **intend** to study in Japan: 日本に留学する **つもり** です (留学 has the added meaning
of "overseas study")
