Summer course in KOBE - help pls.

[Reddish]

Hi,

This year I'm going to Japan during my summer holiday. And I want to spend about a month in one place, learning basic Japanese in one of the language schools. I chose that I'll go to Kobe, but I have problem with choosing a language school there.
Could you give me some advice? I was searching the Net and there were only a few schools like YMCA or Marga. Are these really good? Or do you know some other language schools in Kobe? Please help.

Kobe YMCA

The Japanese classes at the Kobe YMCA have a reasonable reputation. Not sure whether they provide a summer program or not though.

I am still looking for a good school in Kobe, but like you I can only find YMCA and Marga language service. I think both of them are too expensive, but I can't find anything else so I guess I have to wait or search further.

If anyone else knows some good places let me know as well.

- Declan - thank you for your advice. ^^
- Dutch Baka - You say you're still looking for a good school in Kobe. Does that mean that so far you've found only bad ones or you haven't found any yet?
And I guess you're looking for a long course, right? I can give you some links (can't do it with "www" but just add it at the beggining), where are listed language schools in Kobe. Not all of them have websites, but you can easily find some info about them in the Net, or at least phone numbers to these schools. ^^
-jasso.or.id/bahasa.php - wirtten in strange language, but has a list at the end of the page.
-aikgroup.co.jp/j-school/english/area/section/kinki.htm
-asahi-net.or.jp/~tc9w-ball/useful/JlanguageSch.htm - this one has listed schools in all Japan, also Kobe.
About my search: So far I've found only 3 schools with summer courses in Kobe: YMCA, Interculture Language Academy and Marga. But I still have a few that I need to call to, so I don't loose my hope.
But I'm still looking forward to any advice on Kobe language schools!
Thanks in advance!

I haven't find any yet, that I want to or can do.

I am searching for a school where I can follow lessons for 3-6 hours a week, and most I have seen are 20-30 hours a week. I need something for in the evening for after work.

I am thinking about doing exchange but I really want to have a school that isn't too expensive (Marga and YMCA are expensive if you ask me)

Thanks for the link, I am going to research more on it later on the day.
