I keep reading that Language School durations are based on when you start. April - 2 years July - 1 year and 9 months October - 1 year and 6 months January - 1 year and 3 months I haven't been able to find an explanation as to why the duration is different other than it lines up with the start dates for universities in Japan. I already have a degree and do not plan on going back to university, but I would like to stay for the full 2 years. It is now April 2026 and I rather not wait until April 2027. * Are shorter durations more intensive and you learn the same amount of material? * Do you just lose out on 1-3 terms worth of material?
Hi everyone, I’m from India and planning to study Japanese in Japan. I’ve completed JLPT N5 and my goal is to reach N1, get a job, and build my career there. I was initially planning for Unitas, but I found out that the seats are already filled, so now I’m looking for other good options. I’m mainly looking for: - Affordable fees and living cost - Good teaching quality - Part-time job opportunities - Some support for jobs after studies I also prefer a place where living is manageable for a student (not too expensive or high pressure). If anyone can suggest good schools or guide me on how to choose the right one, it would really help. Also, are smaller cities better than Tokyo for students like me? Any honest advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated 🙏 Thanks in advance!

My background as follows: 26, with a CPA license in my own country, and experience within the banking industry. Been studying Japanese on the side for years now. My question is, is it career suicide for me to leave this job and go to Japan as a language school student? Or should it be better just to learn language on the side.
I’m in the process of applying to a language school for the October 2026 intake, and I’ve submitted my documents and so far so good. I’m thinking about quitting or changing my job before or during the COE process. The work is getting really hard to deal with, but I’m worried it could cause issues with the application. I’m self-funded from Canada and have enough savings, so finances aren’t the problem. I’m just not sure if changing job would affect my application. Not sure if it would make my application "high risk" or something. I’m also probably going to find a part time job in the meantime (so I can actually have time to study).
Hello, has anyone here gone to a language school with taking the BJT as a goal and would be willing to share their experiences/recommendations? I'm planning to take JLPT N3 in my home country in 2027 and move to Japan for language school (12-18 months) in 2028/2029, depending on savings. My goal is to score as high as possible on the BJT by the end of school, ideally hitting J1 territory. I've been looking at the Nisshinkyo recommendations + websites and so far, my shortlist consists of: * Communica in Kobe (due to them starting business classes from N3 already) * KJLS in Kyoto (seem to have small classes and balanced student demographics) * KAI in Tokyo (I've heard good things about their kanji teaching methods for western students) Would appreciate any thoughts on either those schools or others that I should check out (or general advise)
