Our Japanese language school started as a group of volunteers in 2000 with one goal in mind: to help create cultural and language barrier-free lives for our students in Japan. Since then, we’ve expanded our schools to 3 locations (our Tokyo and YokohamaJapanese school) and launched our own textbook Nihongo Fun and Easy.
We've helped more than 8,000 students achieve their Japanese learning target. Now, we want to see you grow, too. We tailor our lessons depending on your Japanese needs, be it for JLPT, work, or just everyday life. You can start from foundational basic with no experience and intermediate (N5-N3) to business Japanese (N2).
Our custom-fit and award-winning Japanese course put a strong emphasis on your conversational Japanese skills for casual and professional conversations. We make sure our native Japanese teachers are equipped for that.
Join any time. Our Japanese courses start every month, in the morning or afternoon. Private Japanese lessons, intensive courses or JLPT preparation courses — all depending on your time, budget and learning preference.
Learn Japanese in a small class and gain confidence in speaking. Connect with international students from all over the world. Our small online Japanese class is interactive and just as effective.
We’re much more than a class — we’re a close-knitted international community of motivated learners with shared objectives. What to expect: Low student-to-teacher ratio, Community Events and Online Student Forums.
