If someone told me they could teach me enough Japanese in 1.5 years to be not only fluent, but intelligent enough to pass a university exam, I would be very suspicious. Why does it take Japanese natives 12 years of education to get to that level, if Nippon Center can do it in 18 months?

MMM i will never question you because you're few of those forum members that knows what is what, and i already read your posts in other threads i know you're right and i respect you.
I'm not saying that nihongo centre will teach me "perfect" japanese in 2 years or 3, it's just what they said and if thats not right than it's no problem, than if i'll could not get in the University in the 3th year, i will study another year and another year. I will try as long as it needs because i want to get into university very very much, but it's not my main goal, so i can wait as long as it takes
