Hey all, I'm a long time lurker of the subreddit and finally making a post. I plan on "moving" temporarily to japan for 3 months on a tourist visa next year to attend a language school and get to know the country. I haven't decided on a specific term yet but it would either be summer or fall (as I want to avoid the summer heat). I've also been studying japanese seriously since June and am scheduled to take the JLPT N5 in December.
But I'd like to know for those who have studied at either ALA or Kudan (the conversational course) how was it? Did you enjoy it? What was the intensity like?
I dont want to have to spend all stay studying in my room and actually want to have time to explore the city, make friends, and enjoy while also of course learning in the school. I would like to avoid a language school that is totally focused on the JLPT as I'd much rather learn the language instead of how to pass an exam.
Thanks for all the help in advance and if there are any questions I can answer them in the comments.
