I'm looking for a Japanese language immersion programme IN Japan for beginner level students. To start sometime
between Late May/Early June to end before Mid-August/Early September. Preferably one that holds classes 20+
hours a week and has both home-stay and student dorm options. Must be accredited, must be able to be paid for
via financial aid loans. Must last over 6 weeks, preferably 8+. Preferably under total cost of $5,000 USD.

I've been scouring for a programme that meets those requirements, so if you manage to find one or, better yet,
have experience with one, I will love you forever and always o.O

Are you currently studying Japanese, or do you intend to begin studying when you go do the program?

I can't post www.alljapaneseallthetime.com enough times.

One of my best friends studied at ARC Academy in Tokyo and recommended it. I think it meets most of your requirements.

If you start from scratch, you might end up an advanced beginner after such a program.
However, if you were already an advanced beginner, you'd end up an advanced intermediate.
Frankly, I'd choose the latter.

I've been there 3 times, for a month each time. Can't wait to go back. I've debated going to a school in Tokyo, but I already know the housing and school are great in Okazaki, so why fix what isn't broken?

Hi!

Currently I am an absolute begginner, I can read an write Hiragana and Katakana and make some easy sentences in present and past tense. My vocabulary is still very poor. I have been studying for three months (one hour class a week plus arround 5 hours of homework/study on my own).

I am going to Japan this summer and am looking for a school for a 3-4 week language course.

- Could anyone recomend a good school?
- Should I go to the "total" beginner class, or not. I "feel" a total begginer, but it looks like some school start teaching Hiragana and Katakana and I think I already know a bit about that.
