JETAA UK is seeking to establish Alumni Japanese Language Courses or participate in existing courses run by Cactus Language Training. The company already runs ten week courses at different language levels in London. It is proposed that a subsidy could be provided to former JETs who wish to join one of these courses.

The company also has centres in Bristol, Cardiff and Manchester, although Japanese courses are not currently run at these locations. Should there be sufficient demand at a particular level, we would explore the viability of running subsidised courses at these locations.

At this stage, it would be really useful to gauge the level of interest for the courses in the different locations. If you are interested in taking part, please post a message below stating which location you are interested in studying.

This is just to get a rough idea of numbers - so don't worry you are not committing at this stage. Once we get an idea of numbers we will provide further information of course dates and prices so that people can confirm if they are still interested.

i'd be interested in classes in london. a course like that offered by SOAS to help prepare for the JLPT 1 & 2 would also be really helpful.

Very interested in classes in London, particularly for JLPT 2 preperation.

Yes very interested to attedn classes in London. Beginner/Intermediate (it's been a while since I was in Japan!).

Depending on the price, I'd be interested in classes in London. I'd be looking at just above san-kyu level, though it's all a bit rusty so may need a lower level.

Interested in a JLPT 2 preparation course in London

I would also be very interested in a JLPT 2 preparation course in London.

I would be interested in classes in London.

I would be interested in a JLPT 1 Course and/or a JLPT 2 refresher - it's been 7 years! - and general advanced intermediate reading/speaking classes.

Sorry, I should have said I'd be interested in a JLPT 1/advanced intermediate course in London or Cambridge.

I'd be interested in high JLPT 3 / 2.

I'd be interested in a course for preparation for the JLPT N3 in Bristol. There's a real gap in higher levels of Japanese courses in Bristol. I enrolled in the highest level evening course being run at the university but it was too easy for someone who's spent 2 years in Japan. The only option left to me was private tuition which is very expensive!

If we have enough people for an advanced class, then I would like to join it in London

JLPT lvl 1 prep course would be good, but so would a class on advanced business Japanese.

I'd be very interested in a class in London.

I'd be interested in beginners/intermediate in London.

Price dependent, I'd potentially be interested in classes in London. Ideally ones that are tailored to take you from rusty beginners to yonkyu.

I'd definitely be interested in an advanced course in London. I'm planning to take up a course of some sort anyway so subsidised courses would be brilliant.

I'd be interested in classes in Bristol...

I would be very interested in an 1-kyu preparation course, or an advanced business Japanese course in London.

Thanks for the posts. Most of the interest seems to be in London and Bristol so far. We will leave this post running a bit longer and then make a decision on the best way to move forward with this.

Many Thanks,

Neil Taylor JETAA UK Chair 2010-11

I would be interested in classes in London.

Cheers

I'd be interested in courses in London for high intermediate level.

I would be interested in lower intermediate classes in London. I need to start studying again!

I would be interested in classes in Bristol. Took level 3 and 4 years ago in Japan but have forgotten loads and would like to study again. Thanks

I'd be interested in a course in London.

I'd be interested in classes in Manchester.

This is a great idea. I'd definitely like to attend classes in London.

I'd be interested in classes in London. Thanks

I would be interested in attending classes in London, esp if it could help me study for JLPT 2

Sounds fabulous, I would definitely be interested in attending classes in London for beginner/ intermediate level depending on cost.

I'd definitely be interested in classes in London. Probably intermediate to upper intermediate depending on how rusty I turn out to be.

Hi I would be interested in taking the classes too, intermediate or upper intermediate.

PS Im in London

I would be interested in classes; a refresher for level 3 in London would be good.

Would be interested in refresher beginner/intermediate JLPT 1 or 2 courses in London....

I would be interested in classes held in Manchester.

I would also potentially be interested in Refresher/JLPT Level I Preparation/Business Japanese courses in London

I'm interested in intermediate to upper intermediate classes in London.

I am very interested in JLPT 1 level practice! In London.

I'd be interested in intermediate to upper intermediate classes in London too!

I'd definitely be interested in classes in London prepping for JLPT 2, or for the new N3 or N2 levels. Conversation classes would be great too. Something similar to the SOAS courses but cheaper??

Thanks for all of your posts - they have been really useful in shaping our negotiations with language schools. We hope to make an announcement on the JETAA supported Japanese lessons shortly!

Very interested in new JLPT level 4 (old 3） and up in Manchester if possible. Any other advice about where to study in Manchester appreciated. ありがとうございます。

The private and group lesson is started in October. www.japanesestudyschool.com

This is in London.
