Hey everyone,
I'll (37M) be heading to Japan for +- 4 to 5 months on September 9th. My global plan is to head to Tokyo first and do some language lessons there first (like +- 1,5 months) before I start my travels throughout the country.
Most language schools I find online have like a set period of months or need you to reserve or register months in advance. I was wondering if people here have good experience or recommendations for schools that are a bit more flexible?
Preferably I would like to get many classes a week (like 5 days a week) and be in a group class (for social contacts) but I don't mind private tutoring either. I haven't booked a lot of accommodations yet either, so if you know a school or private tutor that provides this as well I'm very open to suggestions.
My current Japanese level is very low, I've done some courses in my hometown and have been Duolingo-ing (right now at the end of section 2), I know hiragana and katakana but Kanji is mostly undiscovered grounds. But most anime or Japanese movies I watch talk so fast I get lost really easily. My ultimate goal would be to be able to hear and read what people say and have a general understanding of it.
