I'll give it to you Nyororin. A course like that and you should pass the JLPT 1 with ease if you stick to the books and away from the bars. I should really get my lazy@$$ in gear and study more.

Whoa, trust me, I`ve never *personally* taken a class like that. I`ve never actually taken a real Japanese class in Japan at all, let alone something intensive like that. I just know a couple of people who did. (After the fact of course - I seriously doubt they`d have had time to meet me otherwise!) I guess the classes were 9am to 1pm - then 4pm to 8pm. So, at least there was a good gap there in the afternoon to do all that stuff that you can only do earlier in the day.
If you`re really determined and really work hard on what they`re telling you to study - after a full year of it you should be pretty advanced.
