The Japanese language course is purely communication orientated, ideal for those who wish to study key grammar and conversation skills of the language, but don’t require in-depth study.   Classes are made up of 2 lessons of grammar and 2 lessons of conversation per tuition day, with the focus on real-life skills.  Learn common sentence patterns and vocabulary with your teacher and use them in practical situations both in and out of the classroom.

Kyoto: Tuition days are held over 5 days a week (Monday to Friday), except for your first day or on public holidays

Fukuoka: Tuition days are held on 3 or 4 days a week (in the first two weeks) and on one day in the final week.

We anticipate 4 to 8 students per class, occasionally rising to 10 students in some classes in July/August.
If a student is the only person at his/her Japanese ability level, the Japanese school will provide reduced private classes for them.

The Japanese Group Course uses interesting and modern materials and activities to focus on improving your Japanese speaking ability in a way that gives you the flexibility to adapt to new situations, until the day you won’t even need a teacher anymore!
