^yun yung sa may Morayta diba?  Mabilis lang ba mag-aral ng Japanese?  yung anak ko gusto mag-aral e.  May for kids ba? 8years old?

[stradivarius]

yup, sa morayta. pero meron din sa makati (arnaiz avenue).
elem 1 is around 11k, for 68 hours and it includes reading, writing, speaking. sabi nila, mahal daw masyado ang 11k. i don't think so. kasi parang lumalabas na less than 200 pesos lang per hour of instruction. halos same lang din sa ibang language schools na tulad ng alliance francaise, which is about 202 pesos per hour.
meron din children's japanese, usually saturday morning ko sila nakikita. bihira yung afternoon kasi siguro lahat ng bata antok na sa afternoon

Seriously considering taking up either Spanish or French intensive courses at Insituto Cervantes and Alliance Francaise de Manille respectively. I'm leaning more towards Spanish though because I don't think I'd be able to practice French at home (Mommy can speak Spanish), and Spanish is more widely-spoken than French. I self-studied French when I was in high school but I stopped when I got to the gender nouns. It got really complicated and I was having a hard time by then.

By the way, does anyone know a premiere Italian language school here in Metro Manila?

As for Asian languages, I'd highly recommend Nihongo Center Foundation for Japanese, and Korean Cultural Center for Korean. I have yet to try Ateneo de Manila for Chinese.

^Dante Alighieri in Makati, same building where Italian Embassy is, teaches Italian language.

Thanks sis! Checked their site. Tuition fee is pretty steep compared to institutions offering other languages. I guess I'll just have to pass up Italian.

pag spanish ba sang school ang best?

Definitely Instituto Cervantes in Manila. Currently an IC student, B1 course.

[chichi143]

hi sis megumiii, how many students sa isang class diyan sa IC?

[megumiii]

8-10 sis, if I'm not mistaken. Morning classes are usually bigger though, around 12.

TIA

I studied Japanese at Nihongo Center Manila. Best decision I've ever made in my life. Dami benefits pag dating sa career progression. Syempre, sa personal life na din, kasi I get to make more friends because I can speak another language. I hope to take the JLPT in December. Depende muna kung sipagin ako mag aral at mag enrol ng review class. Haha.
I am also studying French. Nag enrol ako ng A1 module 1 sa Alliance. Pero di ako nag enroll ng module 2. Self study muna with Assimil habang busy pa sa ibang bagay. Tapos try ko mag evaluation exam at the end of the year para ma-gauge kung nagwork nga ang self study ko and kung makakaenrol ng mas mataas na module.

Sis doable ba to if may full time work? Nihonggo talaga ata ang mabenta ngayon.

[swtgrl_bee]

Meron bang Spanish class sa UP Diliman na every weekend lang ang class? Sobrang interested si Hubby.

Is there anyone here who is learning Italian? Can you recommend a good textbook or website? I want to learn by self studying. ^^
