I heard that some language schools offer a two-week package to learn Japanese in Japan. Has anyone taken this package? How is it?

I see.

As for your course, I believe you have not started your course [which is basic 1 term 1].

Once your course is approaching to the end like lesson 8 or 9, you will be asked whether you want to continue to study Japanese or not. If yes, once you finish this course [or rather, term], you will begin a new term [which is basic 1 term 2].

I have just finished my basic 1 term 1. Now just started my basic 1 term 2 [2nd lesson this week].

My course is also part-time course, from 6.50pm to 9.50pm every Mon.....

You should join the Japanese Language Meetup in Singapore. The meet up once a month, usually in Tea Chapter. They even organise additional meetings for JLPT, quite a few native japanese speaker too.

"Hi guys. I have also another study grp for JLPT 4 every Friday @ 7.30pm. Location: Bras Basah Macdonalds. If interested, pls email me @ dimitri_can@yahoo.com.sg or MSN me at takahashi_tsubasa@hotmail.com "
