The Japanese language school offers group classes on a rolling start basis, so there are a range of on-going classes studying different points in the curriculum each week, throughout the year. When new students join the school, on their first Monday, they are placed into the class at a point in the curriculum closest to their own language level.
There are set dates for beginners, offered throughout the year.
If a student is the only person at his/her Japanese ability level, the Japanese school will provide reduced private classes for them.
Standard Course groups use interesting modern materials and activities to focus on improving your Japanese speaking ability, backed up with solid grammar study in a way that gives you the flexibility to adapt to new situations, building to the point where one day you won’t need a teacher anymore!
