Japanese language programs

[Lindsay Nelson]

I second IUC Yokohama, have heard great things from friends who did it--I
did a one-year intensive program at Sophia that was really helpful (I think
they've also got a summer course now, www.sophia.ac.jp), and I applied for a
similar program at Waseda.
