Courses
Long-term Course
According to SAMU, "curriculums are prepared that focus on carefully learning Japanese, ideal for those wishing to move on to institutions of higher education in Japan (graduate schools, universities, or vocational schools) or find employment with a Japanese company."
You can begin during any of the 4 intake periods throughout the year, and there are special elective classes for things ranging from animé and manga Japanese to particular Japanese accents and exam prep. The school tests regularly for proficiency, so you'll get a heads up every quarter about how your Japanese language skills are progressing.
There is also a key focus on mastering kanji, which is fundamental to the success of anyone who wants to live as an adult in Japan.
