Hi everyone,

I am going to Uni in Australia this year and I have the option of picking Japanese as one of my electives. If I do, then I would surely get good marks right away as I have already done a bit of self study. This boosts my average grades.

My other option is to pick two other electives - interesting subjects you don't have access to elsewhere - and then do Japanese on the weekends for about half the cost I'd pay going to Uni. Money isn't an issue for me, but it all depends on how I learn Japanese and what I miss out on if I decide to do it at Uni.

Is there a great difference between high end courses and cheaper ones? I also fear I won't be able to handle the workload of learning Japanese outside of Uni, but these other electives would probably teach me things I wouldn't find elsewhere.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
