• Q. How do I know my level? Do you have placement tests?
  - We do not have placement tests. We ask prospective students to self-assess their levels by visiting the course description page available on our website. The links to the course description pages are available at http://www.languagedoor.com/adults/program_adults.html. You can also stop by at one of our centers to take a look at the actual books used in our classes.

• Q. What’s the difference between Beginning/Intermediate A, B, C and D?
  - They are all different levels. Beginning A is for those who have never studied the language before, or those who have had instruction before but would like to start from scratch. Please refer to the course description page (links available at http://www.languagedoor.com/adults/program_adults.html) regarding what is covered in each level.

• Q. Can I sit in the class before signing up?
  - Unfortunately we do not allow sitting in or auditing. We offer small classes and it would be disruptive to have visitors in the classes.

• Q. How do I sign up?
  Thank you for your interest in our classes. To sign up for a class, you need to complete payment. We do not reserve your spot in class until the payment is completed. Beginning classes are especially popular, so we recommend that you try to sign up as soon as you know that you would like to enroll. You can call us, mail us a check or stop by to complete payment. We do not accept online payment at this moment.
   

• Q. Can I pay a part of the fees to reserve my spot?
  Sorry, all the fees need to be paid in full in order for us to reserve your spot.
  
  Q. What is your age limit?
  - We currently offer classes only for adults. However, there is no specific age limit, and we have had some adolescents in our classes. As long as they are OK with studying with adults, they can join our classes.

• Q. Do you offer private lessons?
  - Please contact your nearest school location for information about private lessons and their costs.

• Q. What’s your refund policy?
  - For any reasons, students are entitled to a refund if they let us know they want to withdraw from our classes within 24 hours after their first lesson. Unfortunately we do not make any arrangements for a refund if a student withdraws from class any later than that.

• Q. What’s the difference between Language Door and other language learning institutions?
  - It is difficult to point out the differences, but here are the facts to consider when you look for a right language school for you:
  Class sizes? ・Language Door offers very small class size, which varies from two to eight students per class with the average of four students.
  How long the classes are and how often they meet? ・Currently all our classes meet once a week for an hour and a half for eight weeks (which is perfect for working adults). In general colleges offer more intensive classes.
  When classes are held? ・We schedule classes on weekday evenings
  after 6pm (there are two time slots, one at 6:15-7:45pm and the other 8-9:30pm) and some on Sundays during the daytime, considering the convenience of working adults. We offer classes all year around; there are six terms of eight weeks each per year.
  Price? ・Language Door offers very reasonable prices. Please visit our price information page for details.
  Teachers? ・Our instructors are native or native level speakers of the target language, who are eager to share their knowledge of the language and culture.

• Q. Do you issue I-20 for international students?
  - Unfortunately not.

• Q. Is Language Door accredited?
  - Unfortunately we do not offer transferable credits to colleges. However, we can issue a proof letter that you have taken classes with us, or a certificate of completion for reimbursement or other purposes.
