I'm looking for a College that teaches Japanese.
I do need it to be at an actual college, and I want to learn how to
speek and write in Japanese. (native is english, I thought I'd clarify
becasue my attemps to look it up found colleges gooing the other
direction)

The reason I want an actual college versus a tutor is I need to be an
offical student, and so I'm going to take some classes at a college
but that is one class I've allways wanted to take so if there is a way
I can put that amoung the list of classes I'm taking I'm willing to
pay to find that way.

Where are you located? What are your geographic limits? Are you asking
about community colleges as well as four year institutions? Are you
looking for beginner's Japanese? Thanks.

okay I live right by universal studo's or at the intersection of
Conroy road and I4 (that's closser but not as much of a landmark)
and I'd be willing to travel about a half hour one way to get there.
and yes Comunity Colleges will work as well, 
(as long as they take the student aid, I'm happy)
and yes I'm looking for Beginner Japanese. (since I don't know any at all yet)

and as for that "native is english" comment, I was trying to say
that's my first, Primary, or native language. just wanted to save a
few words.

"native is english"?  Seriously?

Hello, I'm japanese in japan. If you want to study japanese,
I recommende this chat.
ttp://l4cs.jpn.org/gikopoi/flash/gikopoi009b5/flash_gikopoi.html

In the chat, there are many japanese studens who want to study English.
But, please be careful, there are many children in there.
They sometimes swear you, and use naughty English.
Outside of American and English, there are French and Danish and
many othere foreigners in this site.
Good luck.

Typos in the original question notwithstanding, it's common parlance
in translation and interpretation circles to say "my native is xxx" or
"they're native xxx" to describe one's mother tongue.  I know it might
sound weird, but there you have it.  :)

Just my 2 yen,

        Eirikr

yea that is what I ment to say.
that English is my Primary Language
