Study Japanese between Kobe and Osaka

[Davey]

So I have been in Japan now for 8 months, and decided to finally really do something about my Japanese: I want to go to a Language school to study Japanese for maybe 4-8 lessons (1-2 hours per lesson) a month.
I have been searching on google, and some magazines but all I can find is the Kobe YMCA, and Marga language service. and those two are just to expensive at first sight. How much does it average cost to study Japaneses for 4-8 times a month?
Can anyone help me finding a nice school, the best place would be on the Hankyu line/ JR between Kobe and Osaka, or in Kobe itself.

Why not impress them with your English, have the girls all excited around an 窶ｰp窶ｰﾃｯﾋ彙 center, and offer to trade lessons. If affording things in Japan is an issue, that will be something to consider. Remember, there are more of them wanting our English than there are us wanting to learn Japanese.

I love asking them, have you ever wanted to know what is is like to kiss a real western guy?

then they often say 窶堋ｦﾂー

I respond with 窶堋ｻ窶堙ｱ窶堙遺?堙凪?堋､窶堙俄?｢ﾃ版ｽ窶凪?堋ｷ窶堙ｩ窶堙娯?堙ｰﾅ陳ｩ窶堙ｩ窶堙娯?堙??堙≫?堙??堙?窶ｰﾃね?､窶堋｢ﾂ。

They love it, and next thing you know, they will even kiss you on the cheeks at the very least, if they are single.

Hey dutch baka, are you a Nikkeijin? What happened to your nationality. I see you are Japanese from your avatar.

Yeah, I remember looking into taking Japanese lessons and IMMEDIATELY deciding against it when I saw how much the schools charge. Actually I was working for an English school which charged even more at the time, so it made me feel pretty bad for my own students.

There are some places in the area that offer "language exchanges". I can't remember the name of the place right now but in Sannomiya there is an international centre that does that for free and I remember some friends did that. Results varied.

I will probably take some private lessons in Osaka once a week ( I just have to make the phone call).
