I'm looking to study Japanese in Chiang Mai. Google searches came up with YMCA, Prolanguage and Chiangmai Japanese Language School.

I need the instruction to be in English and I can only do evening classes or weekends as I work during the day.

Any helpful insights to these places? Class size? Quality of teaching? Personal experiences? Prices?

Also are there any other places that teach Japanese in English? I would prefer class lessons than private sessions as I am also looking to practice Japanese with classmates (and I imagine classes will be cheaper than one-on-one)

There are a few Japanese language school in Chiang Mai such as;

Old Japan students' associations, Northern regional office, address : Samlan road, Prasing. http://www.ojsatn.com/index.php/learn-japanese.html
