Q1. Is the cost of support materials included in the class fee?
|
Unfortunately, no. You will need to purchase textbooks, which cost
approximately 10,000 yen, on average. You may also find it useful to get
a dictionary or other reference materials.
|
Q2. Due to my busy schedule, I might need to cancel a class
or several classes. How should I proceed?
|
All you have to do is let us know that you would like to cancel your class by 4pm on
the day prior to your scheduled class. You can do this by e-mail.
|
Q3. I'd like to change instructors. Is this possible?
|
Yes, of course. If you let us know the reason, it will be easier for us to
assign a different instructor. We will do our best to match you with an
instructor that you feel comfortable learning with.
|
Q4. I know there are so many Japanese Language School in Tokyo.
How does Interlink differ from other schools?
|
Interlink has over 35 years of Japanese teaching experience. Interlink has been
accredited by the Ministry of Education for its research on Japanese Language
Teaching Methods and Textbooks for business people and their spouse. Also,
Interlink carries out thorough placement evaluations to determine your exact
needs and skills; equal emphasis is given to the 4 basic skills: speaking,
listening, reading and writing at all levels of competence.
This is one of Interlink's strong points.
|
Q5. What about teachers? Can they speak English?
|
Most of them can speak basic English and are able to provide explanations in English
when necessary. However, Interlink teachers are trained to teach the Japanese only
through Japanese; we think that English usage during the class should be limited.
|
Q6. I would like to learn only spoken Japanese. I do not think
it necessary to study Japanese alphabets.
|
You can learn only spoken Japanese but you may not be able to acquire proper pronunciation.
How about learning only Hiragana? That could faclitate your progress.
