Japanese is offered at Haverford. I took one year of it. Not everyone got along with the introductory professor who taught it back then, but it was a very good experience for me – I found him eccentric in a lovable way, and I got an excellent grounding in a very tough subject. The program aims for solid mastery rather than speed/volume of information. You’ll be at basic survival level if you ace the first year, but you’ll understand the linguistic fundamentals well.
