Latest scoop .....
As for NOVA former students, can't get any refund. If they pay additional 25 percent tuition month by month, they can take remaining lessons and VOICE at New NOVA.
There is a NOVA kids school that went under but is scheduled to reopen in my area near Kurume under new ownership and management. I've only heard the details secondhand but it would seem they are doing a promotional offer for *free lessons for the first three months* in order to drum up business. Not entirely sure what ties the new group that is taking over has with NOVA but needless to say, some others in the business aren't too happy with that. Personally I find the whole thing amusing.
It is amazing how many Japanese people pay money like 8000 yen for one hour of talking to some farang for 1 hour. I am glad that in Thailand, I had the opportunity to speak to farangs for free on Khaosan Rd, and really improve my English. I think that Japanese people should just come down to Thailand via Air Asia and interact with many farangs here for free.

8000yen for an hour... never heard about that. I think the average is about 2000/3000 yen for an hour... Maybe if you are a movie star you can pay 8000... but I guess that's the same for people in other countries who want to learn Japanese and want a very good teacher.
Regarding the word Farangs. How about just using the word foreigner!?! First of all, people need to search the meaning of Farangs, secondly the meaning can be used in a mocking manner or as an insult. (source wiki). Thank you in advance.
