Japanese School? (Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington: find a job, community college, living)

[Otosap]

Hi,I live here in Arlington, Tx and I am looking for a Japanese School where it can teach me Japanese Language.
I am a Filipino but I wanted to visit Japan to look for a relative of mine that i have never seen in a long time.
I wanted to learn the language before coming there and living there for good. I also wanted to look for a job there, even if it is only serving ramen or something.
So far, the only Japanese School I found is between Alpha Road and midway road. But I'm afraid it's only for kids.
Hope someone can help me. Is there also an online school? Or someone who can teach me online.
greatly appreciate it!! thanks.

I found the link below - you might want to check it out.

From someone who has lived and studied in Japan a number of years I can tell you it may take some time to acquire the knowledge of the Japanese language at the level you may need to conduct your search for your relative. Keep in mind most people however educated are still somewhat hesitant to speak English; this is especially true outside of the major cities.

My wife's a Filipino as well - email me if you like if you need more info.

Best of luck.

Hello,
I am a former soldier who served in the military for 8 years and just recently got out of the military. I last served in Okinawa for 3 years. There I met my girlfriend who is Japanese. I just returned to Dallas in late June 2010. I am in desperate need to find a job for my girlfriend. She has a passport but can only be in country for no more than 3 months. If we were to get married then she would be allowed to stay. We would not like to jump into marriage just so that she can receive a green card. It is something that we both want to wait until we are truly ready. She has a bachelors degree in education. She has taught Japanese at the U.S. Consulate in Okinawa Japan to a group of military officers. We are asking for help from anyone who can give us any information where she can apply for a job that teaches Japanese in the Dallas area and hopefully will provide her with an employment visa. Your help is greatly needed and will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
