carlo Posted June 13, 2006 at 08:50 AM Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 at 08:50 AM Does anybody have a Japanese language school in Japan that they would recommend? For a very short-term, intensive, ultra-immersion programme (and maybe also in a nice location, like Kyoto or a small town somewhere more 'traditional' -- but hopefully not to the extent that they run away when they see a foreigner).

zhonghuarising Posted June 26, 2006 at 10:06 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 at 10:06 PM I know many people who have studied at a school called Yamasa in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan (about 45 mins. outside of Nagoya). Everyone I've talked to gives the school rave reviews, so you might want to check it out. Unfortunately, I don't have any contact information besides the name and location. Good luck to you!

doumeizhen Posted July 5, 2006 at 03:42 PM Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 at 03:42 PM While we are on this topic, perhaps there is someone who could comment on the cost expectation while living studying Japanese in Japan. The currency coverter *cough*me*cough* made a small mistake and almost gave me a heart attack. It seems that for the ultra-intesive program through Yamasa's website the tuition was around $1000 a month, which seems reasonable. How big of a loan should my father be expecting to give me if I got there for a month next summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted July 12, 2006 at 10:55 AM Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 at 10:55 AM Thanks a lot folks. I heard about this place from other people, so it's probably not bad. As to financial considerations, I have no doubt that it will be very expensive, just wondering if the quality is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tuition + housing is $2000+ monthly and the food/beer is additional +++++. Sounds expensive but OK by japan standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
