Q1. Is the
cost of support materials included in the class fee? |
Unfortunately, no. You
will need to purchase textbooks, which cost
approximately 6,000 yen, on average. You may also
find it useful to get a dictionary or other reference
materials. |
|
|
Q2. Due to my
busy schedule, I might need to cancel a class or several
classes. How should I proceed? |
All you have to do is
let us know that you would like to cancel your class by
4pm on the day prior to your scheduled class. You can do
this by e-mail or telephone. |
|
|
Q3. I'd
like to change instructors. Is this possible? |
Yes, of course. If you
let us know the reason, it will be easier for us to assign
a different instructor. We will do our best to
match you with an instructor that you feel comfortable
learning with. |

Q4. I know
there are so many Japanese Language School in
Tokyo. How does Interlink differ from other schools ? |
Interlink has
over 26 years of Japanese teaching experience.
Interlink has been accredited by the Ministry of
Education for its research on Japanese Language Teaching
Methods and Textbooks for business people and their spouse.
Also, Interlink carries out thorough placement
evaluations to determine your exact needs and skills;
equal emphasis is given to the 4 basic
skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing at all
levels of competence. This is one of Interlink's
strong points. |

|
Q5. What
about teachers ? Can they speak English? |
Most of them can speak
basic English and are able to provide explanations in
English when necessary. However, Interlink
teachers are trained to teach the Japanese only through
Japanese; we think that English usage during the class
should be limited. |

|
Q6.
I would like to
learn only spoken Japanese. I do not think it necessary
to study Japanese alphabets. |
You can learn only spoken
Japanese but you may not be able to acquire proper
pronunciation. How about learning only
Hiragana? That could faclitate your progress. |
