Language Schools?

[x1337magex]

Hey all!!

Well, I've really been wanting to go to Japan for a while now, my goal being to go there and work for about 6-8 months. Working because that would greatly offset my cost.

Unfortinately, because i have recently graduated from high school and thus have no college degree, this seems to be impossible or very very difficult to say the least.

Anyhow, I have heard, though, that a good alternative would be to go to a Language school in Japan. So I was wondering, can anybody recommend any good language schools/sites that provide accomidation (wether a dorm or homestay), and is reasonably priced?

Something else very important, I've heard there would also be a way to work whilst going to the school? Could anybody please elaborate on how to do this and what's involved?

Thanks sooooo much! Any other ideas or whatnot are most welcomed!

You have to be over 18 and a high-school graduate, plus you need $12,000-$15,000 or so depending on which you're actually doing.

I resisted the urge to answer in your other thread. But since you directly ask me by name, I'll tell you that in all sincerity the only educational program I could recommend to you is Remedial English. I googled, and it is available in Dublin.

I went through the YMCA. I think they have very good programs. They also have many locations spread all over Japan. If you choose one in a more rural area, your living expenses will be much less (I went in Yokohama. Quite expensive!). From what I observed, their student-support is also very good and they will help you find housing and anything else you need. They most likely don't have their own dorms, but there's a good chance they will be your co-signer on an apartment.
