Yes. You have to be Japanese and speak Japanese to become Geisha.

Geisha/Geiko also speak their own dialect of Japanese known as Kyo-ben.

Can a western girl become a Geisha?

It is almost impossible for a western girl to become a Geisha. Geisha are only Japanese females, and they begin their training around the age of 16. There have been two instances that non-Japanese women have been allowed to become Geisha, and that is because they were being near the Geisha as a study, and the Geisha took them under their wing and allowed them to go through the process. If you would like to become more like a Geisha, take lessons on manners, etiquette, poise, as well as Japanese dance, poetry, conversation skills, and classic Japanese instruments.
