From 1976-1980 I lived in Kyoto, teaching English and studying Japanese at a now defunct language school, the Kyoto English Center. My Japanese was very good at the time and I'd like to come back for a month or so to rediscover Kyoto and Japan and get my Japanese language skills back. I want to be part of a school, rather than just get a private tutor, because as part of a school, you're part of a community of teachers, staff and students.
Since I'm only coming for 4-6 weeks, it's unlikely that I'd fit into a regular classroom environment where everyone else is studying for 3 months, for example, but getting tutored in a school would still allow me to study really hard and meet other people.
Does anyone recommend a Japanese language school that offers one-on-one or small classes for a month or so. I'm hoping to come in early March so I could re-experience o-hanami. That was one of the most wonderful experiences of my entire life.
Thanks for any advice.
