Really appreciative to those who took time to attend the free prep class and Keigo class.
For the free prep class, i shared info on how to score points, etc
For the Keigo class, i shared info on the 5 different types of Keigo, as well as 電話応対。

Enjoy, the full version of Masayume Chasing

Yea, im looking for Japanese classes too. I'm considering between JCS, Ikoma and Yano as I've heard some people recommend it. I'm not sure tho. Cant seem to find out the price for JCS tho, not sure where to find it on the web page.

Do you guys have any recommendations on which school would be better?

Personally i study at JCS and ikoma. I prefer ikoma as it gives load of notes and i find the teacher really teach the basic from scratch. But if fee is a consideration then JCS is cheaper. I still studying with Ikoma till now

Konnichiwa (Hello) ! Just like to ask, how many on this thread here actually learn Japanese language online instead of going to some school to learn it? I mean, is it even possible to learn Japanese online?

 

[dimitri_can]

I did. When I was talking my advanced classes though

 

[freedom-strike]

I used this site and I admit it's fun but a very, very tough and challenging language. =D

 

[CoolRock]

If budget is not an issue, which school has prettier and better sensei?

Japanese language conversation practice/basic intermediate advanced Japanese

皆さん

こんにちは！

It is possible to learn Japanese language online, especially if it's just memorising alphabets, basic vocabulary and grammar. I heard Bunka language school and NUS language school in dohby ghaut are good.

I also teach Japanese language and provide conversational practice.
I am fluent in daily Japanese language conversation, have JLPT N1 and am familiar with MOELC Japanese syllabus.

Please feel free to email me at michelleangsy @gmail.com (without the space)
and we can discuss what kind of lessons you like. (日常会話にはロールプレーがお勧めです！）

I prefer meeting up in the west or central areas.
depending on level and distance, 1 hour $25-$70.

よろしくお願いします。
Michelle

Been to Dimitri_can's keigo class for the past 2 weeks. The lessons are enjoyable. His teaching methods are innovative. Dimitri_can is a non-native Japanese language sensei. But I managed to learn more from him as compared to some of the top Japanese language school in Singapore I am currently enrolled.

He has shown great passion in teaching Japanese. I am glad to attend his class
