I (29M) have recently gotten the opportunity to basically vacation in tokyo for 3 months, and I'm considering taking a short course at a language school in that time. I've read that a lot of full length courses require ~150 hours of study elsewhere, so I was curious to see if there were maybe short term options that take absolute beginners?
I am interested in squeezing a good amount of study time into my stay, so a more intensive course would be fine. I know hiragana and some grammar basics, and I do intend to improve more before I show up, but my study has been fairly loose over the years and probably hard to officially quantify, so we can just pretend it doesnt exist lmao.
Has anyone here done something similar? Which schools did you attend/how were they? And about how old were your fellow students (would prefer to not be overwhelmed by 18-20 somethings)
I am mainly interested in the Tokyo area (I like the easy access/don't mind how crowded it can be, and this is still at least partially for vacationing XD), tho I could be swayed into Yokohama.
