And another reason why we only have fully english lessons is because we have international teacher from Sweden, Japan, America, etc etc etc who are specialized in their specific course 
My schedule? Well, in the first year, like 6 hours grammar lesson each week, 2 hours conversation, 1,5 hours kanji, and the rest is culture study (history, antropology, economy, etc,..)
In third year you have less Language lesson and a bit more culture studies. So pretty hard imo |
I don't actually think it should be an issue to study in English! The language you use to study Japanese is only a means to master it and it doesn't really matter what language is that. Our mutual aim is to learn Japanese even if the sources are not available in one's mother tongue. Plus, you should bear in mind that there is a big variety of books and internet websites to help you studying japanese all written in English!
Harumaki san, your subject sounds pretty interesting (to me, at least) and I think that learning culture is incredibly essential as well. I mean, the language is a part of the culture and if you learn only Japanese, it means that you didn't 'study' Japan enough. Besides, culture may help you to understand the language and enrich your knowledge in relation to the Japanese archipelago.
最後に、頑張ってね；）
