Answer 1

Have you heard of a program called Rosetta Stone?

They say it is the fastest way to learn a language, and I am pretty sure they would have Japanese. They also have teaching ideas and ways for students to learn a language taught by their teacher.

It's not the cheapest however, but $239 is to learn basic Japanese.

There are a lot of ads for english teacher.But unfortunately, you can not still speak english.

In order to become english teacher in japan, you have to learn some japanese.I have a nice idea for that.Let's talk via skype or messenger .You can talk with japanese for free.And if you want to learn japanese , i will teach you.In return , could you teach me english? If you are interested in this idea, could you give me  a e-mail?

Answer 3

The Japan Times online always has ads for language schools.

Be very careful about signing a contract; some schools are kinda shady.
