deuter22 Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Yeah paid for one term already leh...ok lah.. 1 term is $280.. so not too bad... go and experience it 1st lor... it was very intensive for me.. i nearly go mad after the 4th lesson.. and 1 advise... MUST do yer homework and practise a lot (with a buddy) - a lot of ppl give up half way due to the intensive training....3 hrs a day is VERY siong and draining... =P (they focus a lot on reading and writing, not forgetting conversation - 1 hr each)If u r comfortable with the pace, good for you... coz those who can handle it.. will do well... =)my batch, thre is only 1 girl who survived.. now she already completed JLPT1... for me i only done my JLPT2.... (Bunka focus more on reading and conversation, not much writing.. so most of our writing sucks)those from JCSS, they have super slow pace).. but my friends who studied there progress very slowly... only juz completed JLPT3.... (they focus on conversation more then reading and writing - so most of them are very fluent in speaking) Quote

darkflame Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Thought I would list my history of learning Japanese (officially):2006 - 2007: Bunka (intermediate to pre-advanced) -> I jumped to intermediate as I had amateur background in Japanese2007: Took JLPT-32008: Went to JCS for JLPT-2 Prep Course and sat for JLPT-22009: Went to Yanolas for JLPT-1 Prep Course and sat for JLPT-12011: Went to Ikoma for N1 Prep Course and sat for N-1Currently, I'm not making much progress but I have sort of a Japanese close friend where we talk on Skype during the weekend.And I do maintain a journal on Lang-8 where I also can make contact with many Japanese people.

Have to practise and role play with other course mates. Nowadays I rarely use Japanese. And ironically, working for the French company. Quote
begleitung Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Ikoma and bunka, which is better? some cc have classes too, but quality varies. Quote
BusinessBi Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 So anyone who want to learn Japanese maybe can meet together and discuss? Quote
