All my classmates who are studying in Ikoma with me have passed their N2, felt very delighted for them.
Some of us are still studying on a weekly basis.

Is the hougang one good for learning japanese?
i think its ok. I graduated from there.
Find the correct sensei, work hard then u will be alright.
Revise every week for 3-4 hours.
Last time, when i was studying beginner and intermediate Japanese, i studied every day for about 2-3 hours.

I would say both schools are good.
visit their websites, try to see the courses and schedules flexibility whether it match your lifestyle, make a trip down to both schools and see their environments, come up with YOUR own set of index and then sit down and weigh the pros and cons.

Which school tick the most boxes? The battle is half completed, the next half battle is yourself, as all the experts here will share that learning a 3rd Language is no easy feat as it requires talent, hard work and passion.
If you do not have 2 out of the 3 ingredients, I would say your 3rd language learning would not be sustainable.

Lastly, allow me to share this advice from my service last weekend.
"Hard work beats talent, when talent refuses to work hard"

Good luck :D

Hi all!

For those who registered for JLPT in person before, you just need to go there with the passport photos right? And can pay by cash?

Hi guys!

I am currently studying at Bunka, Pre-Adv level. Thinking of taking my N4 again (failed last year because I didn't study). I'm particularly weak in reading and grammar, but listening wise I am ok as there is a lot of listening practices done in my weekly classes with my sensei.

Would there any useful resources or kanji list that I can study besides my class notes? My katakana reading is also weak.

Thanks!
Kevin

As a student from ikoma, ikoma focus a lot on homework. Word recognizing. You need a lot of determination to really study in the later part. A lot of my classmates dropped out and went mia after first few lessons lol.
