Japanese - 07-29-2008, 02:28 AM

Hey Was Just Looking For Some Information/Opinion's On Studying Japanese in Japan.

Right For Some Information I Live In Scotland So i Don't Have Many Options To Learn Japanese In My Home Country. I Looked Around The Web And All I Could Really See Was Courses With A price tag of 1600 Hundred(pounds)Upwards for a 4 Week Course(Including Living Expense Tuition fee etc). Now That Would Cost Me A Fortune As I Would Need Quite A Bit Longer Than 4 Weeks.

What I Am Looking For is If there Is Any Other Way/infermation Floating Around That Wouldn't Put So Much OF A Dent in My Wallet . Or Would It be Better To Try And Go Somewhere Else Thanks.

Save your money, come over on a 6 month WHV (working holiday visa), get a part time job to pay expenses, and take free Japanese courses at your nearest community center. The lessons aren't fantastic, but you'll make up for them by getting to practice by communicating with Japanese people. If you get a temporary job teaching English (not difficult with a WHV), you can probably negotiate a little language exchange practice after class.
