Happy Holidays!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Hope you guys are enjoying the holidays before everything starts again!

And good luck to those of you who took the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) recently! On the subject of Japanese language, if you are interested in learning it, now is the time to consider taking up a class from the various Japanese schools around SMU, or hope that someone drops their Japanese class in BOSS 2(Which someone will bid ridiculously high for that vacancy anyway).

Some of the recommended schools that we know of would be:

Bunka Language Pte School - http://www.bunkalang.com/

Reviews: Their method of teaching is quite different as they start off bombarding you with all the different forms of Japanese, but you will get a firm foundation because of that. Highly recommended by their current students. Price is a bit on the high side, but most people would say its quite worth it. Location: Delfi Orchard

Ikoma Language School - http://ikoma.com.sg/jcourse/ongoing.htm

Reviews: Teachers are quite interesting, I went for their JLPT prepartory course, and it was effective, notes given were informative. The staffs and teachers will speak in Japanese when possible. Price is quite ok. Location: Orchard, Shaw House

Japanese Cultural Society - http://www.jcss.org.sg/jls.html

Reviews: I attended their intensive intermediate lessons 2 years back. The teacher was kindda boring.. Maybe there are more interesting teachers around, but I find that their teaching methods and syllabus were very grammer based. It wasn't very effective for me. The classrooms were cramped too. It is cheap though. Registration starts soon and its only once a year! (unless u wanna take the intensive course, which I wouldn't recommend. Its just too much to absorb after our normal classes..) It is recognised by SMU though, if you manage to get an exchange in a Japanese uni. The yearly JLPT is organised by them. Location: Opposite Bugis Junction, Middle House @ Middle Road

Of course there are other schools that offer Japanese Language, do email us and show it with the other members if you find that they offer good services. We will be glad to post it up.
