I want to study japanese in Japan and i've been looking for a school through Go Go Nihon.
A coworker of mine went to study in Kobe and he liked it a lot so i've been looking there, cause he says that it's cheap and it could be good for me cause i also like to live near nature and stuff but there are only two schools in GGN and i've read a couple of bad reviews on Communica so i've been looking at the other one, which is this one, Interculture Language Academy of Kobe and i found zero revies on reddit which is not a good start?
If any of you got any experience with them? If you have other options that you think are better let me know of course! My idea was to work and study cause i don't want to burden my parents too much and i have enough money saved to pay everything myself. I've been looking to other cities as well. I've read some wonderfull thing about GenkiJACS in Fukuoka so i've been looking at that as well. I've read good thing about Yamasa in Okazaki as well and i'm sooo conflicted!!
I'm looking at the 18m-24m programs by the way.
I went to Osaka last year and i hated it while Kyoto quikly became my retirement plan if i last long enough ahaha. I'm trying to avoid big cities while looking for a school though cause and don't want them to be too crowded and full of turist, and i live in Rome so i know what that's like from a local viewpoint >.<
FYI, i'm going to be 30 next year, i have the N4 (took the N3 this december with i'm thinking horrible resoults lol) and i've got a college degree on Asian Studies, focusing on Japan. My goal is not to just learn Japanese and move on with my lofe but I'd like to try and live there for as long as i can.
Aslo i'm joining a homestay program in February in Fukuyama and i can't wait!!
