I just went for the info session at JCS, but i felt the last part: asking the comers to sign up for their prep class, is a bit... =/

"If you join our prep class, then you will surely pass N...."

I was at the seminar too. That sentence had me LOL too.
Im still in Intermediate level so N5 will not be for me this yr.. maybe next Jul. I'll definitely attempt by next Dec.

Im abit disappointed that the JLPT prep course is on a weekday and such timing.. I work in the west, knock off at 6pm.. 100% cannot make it lor. Why didnt they consider weekend? Hopefully next yr they will hve the prep course on a weekend. :look:

i'm in intermediate at jcs, nv take N5/Jlpt4 b4 but wanted to try N4 this Dec, gt any tips? haha

hmmm. Used to be an intermediate student at JCS. never took N4 before but I believe JCS's JLPT prep class would help you in Grammar and maybe in listening. In addition, it would be advisable to get self-study JLPT books for N4 from experts such as dimitri_can.

tsubasaさん、手伝って..... :D

You can bring in Japanese books to read during your "admin" time for NS.

That's what I did. I brought in some language books and assessments to do. Currently learning French and Korean.

If you are in the JC batch, you will get a laptop! :)

You should try to continue your Japanese after you finish your BMT phase. Do it on a weekend, preferably Sunday morning or something.

What Rhapsody92 said is true, bring in ur Japanese books and revise.

Anyone know of a good japanese school i can attend now for pre advanced lessons? Already have JLPT N4, looking to take N3 this year end.

Looking at Bunka and Ikoma currently, I read that Bunka is quite tough and even for me, I might have to go back to intermediate to re-learn. As for Ikoma, lessons already started since December so I would need to catch up 4 months worth of lessons.

Previously from Yano, left due to NS and the timing was not to my liking.

personally, i find that Bunka's pace is rather comfortable for me.. its not really tough, its whether u understand what the sensei is trying to teach. if u do, then its easy
