ACCELERATION PROGRAM

If you are looking to come for a brief period, and want to get the most you can out of your time in Japan, there is no better course than the Acceleration Program. Taking the meaning of the word "intensive" to its limits, you can compress months of study into a short time, cover a large amount of material, and feel your Japanese ability accelerating while you study.

This course is ideal for those who have studied a lot of grammar and vocabulary at university, but cannot use it confidently - you will find that you are using what you are confident with and rapidly building on it, so that in the space of the short time that you are here, you will feel all the hours of study you did before finally making sense.

Even for those that have no previous experience of Japanese, but who want to start off at a run, this is the way to do it: you will find that the concentration required will quickly translate into rapid learning and rapid fluency.

Start dates for the next few courses are:

Acceleration C 2000/07/03 - 2000/08/11
Acceleration CD 2000/07/03 - 2000/09/28
Acceleration D 2000/08/11 - 2000/09/28
Acceleration E 2000/10/05 - 2000/12/07
Acceleration F 2000/12/11 - 2000/02/23
