Taking JLPT3 this year but couldn't find any prep course for jlpt3 so far. Bunka where i'm studying, their prep courses got fully booked the very day its open for registration and i dun think they are opening any more new class. Any other place to recommend? Does ikoma conduct prep course for jlpt 3 as well? I only found new classes for prep courses for jlpt 2 and 1 on their website.

 

[dimitri_can]

Yes. They do.

 

[Mars Ranger]

Yes. They do.

Is ikoma taking in students for these course already?

 

[Mars Ranger]

ok, nvm, i figured out how ikoma course plan work lol. gotta give them a call once my bunka intermediate 4 test is over

by the way, may i know are there any basic requirements in order to take business jap?

Believe you need JLPT1 before you can take business Japanese.

Actually JLPT 2 also can. But a bit more difficult.

Help needed!

I am actually torn between JCS, Bunka and Ikoma! Ikoma is too ex, but so many people has been raving about it... So might give it a shot. I know there's 2 terms for Elementary 1, and 2 terms for Elementary 2. So if I want to take JLPT 4, do I have to complete 4 terms of the Elementary1+2 classes?

People who have been to JCS and Bunka, please chip in with your learning experiences there! I am actually leaning towards JCS (since its 5 1/2 months for intensive, and it ends in nov, so I can do the JLPT 4 in Dec)... so people help me here, thanks so much!!!

Oh, I don't really see much comments on Bunka, but I have read on the other forums that it's quite good, but the teaching methods a bit "unorthodox", since they are using their own books and what nots.

hey some questions..

1.the basic 1 and 2 for ikoma is the same as the basic for bunka?

2.whts the average age group of the class?

3. if i want to take my jpt, signing up with bunka would be better cause i just need to attend their basic instead of ikoma basic 1 and 2 ?
