Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much does it
cost?
Tuition, registration, and textbooks are charged separately. The fees
are as follows: $200 for tuition, $30 for first time registration
fee, and $27 for the textbook (for the Beginners class). However, please note that the textbooks
usually last for about five courses. See materials section in the schedule
page for more information. Thus, a typical Beginners class would cost
$257 altogether.
-
Do I have to buy
texts for each class?
Not neccessarily. For example, a Beginner's class text will last for
about five consecutive classes (over half a year).
-
When do I need
to register for a class?
You can register anytime. However, the max enrollment for an adult
class can be 6 to 15 students and once the limit is reached, the class is closed for
further registration.
-
What happens after
I complete a class?
If you'd like to continue with your studies, the next level class
is usually available at the same time, with the same instructor.
-
What if I have studied
Japanese before?
We suggest that you call or e-mail us to figure out which class would work best for you.
-
What will I learn
in the class?
In a typical 7-week class, you will initially learn a “survival
level” of Japanese--basic greetings and basic conversation.
Although there is an emphasis on conversation you will also learn
the fundamentals of reading and writing.
-
What are the teacher’s
qualifications?
All teachers are native speakers of Japanese and most are trained at the
Tenrikyo Language Institute in Japan.
