What is a Short-Term Japanese Language Course?

A short-term Japanese language course is designed for people who want to quickly learn Japanese within a set period, typically ranging from a few weeks to a couple of months. These courses are usually more intensive than regular programs, with a focus on rapid learning. Whether you’re visiting Japan for travel, business, or study, a short-term course helps you gain the essential skills to communicate effectively and navigate everyday situations.

At Coto Japanese Academy, we offer an intensive Japanese Language Course that fits perfectly into the category of short-term learning. In just one month, you’ll make significant progress and gain confidence in speaking, reading, and writing Japanese.

Coto Japanese Academy Locations: Tokyo and Yokohama

At Coto Academy, we offer short-term Japanese courses in two prime locations in Japan: Tokyo and Yokohama.

Tokyo: A Hub for Short-Term Learners

Our Tokyo Japanese Language schools are located in some of the most vibrant and easily accessible areas:

• Coto Academy Iidabashi: Located near historical landmarks and beautiful parks, the Iidabashi campus offers a more tranquil yet centrally located environment. With great transport links, you can easily explore other areas of Tokyo while studying.
• Coto Academy Minato (Azabu-juban): The Minato area is famous for its modern office buildings and luxury shopping districts. This location is ideal for those seeking a quieter, more professional atmosphere to focus on their studies while still being close to many of Tokyo’s top attractions.

Yokohama: The Perfect Alternative to Tokyo

Yokohama is a dynamic and cosmopolitan city that provides a great alternative to Tokyo. It’s an excellent location for short-term visitors who want a more relaxed pace while still being close to Tokyo. With many things to do, including the waterfront area, parks, and cultural experiences, you can experience the best of Japan with fewer crowds and a more laid-back vibe. Coto Academy’s Yokohama campus offers a welcoming and convenient learning environment for international visitors.

Student Testimonials: What Our Students Are Saying

We’re proud of the impact our short-term Japanese courses have had on students from all over the world. Here’s what some of them have to say:

• I read great reviews of Coto Japanese Academy and took a 4 week intensive course there as a result. They lived up to their reviews!  The most important element of a language school is the teachers.  They were all great.  Committed, compassionate, energetic, experienced, friendly and professional.  Other students I ran into had been to other Japanese language schools, and they all agreed that Coto was the best. – Warrick

• I thought my one month intensive Japanese language classes were very rewarding. The curriculum was well designed and extremely professional. The faculty teaching skills were excellent, and the program was very well organized. I also thought the textbooks used in the program were exceptional. The people working at the reception desk were all friendly and very helpful. As a retired academic myself from New York City,  I think I’m experienced enough to recognize a quality school program and professional academic staff. I heartily recommend Coto Academy to any Japanese language student who is willing to put in the necessary time and effort. Obviously I was impressed. – Michael
• Attended the intensive course for 4 months and totally loved it! Love the classmates as all are either working adults or housewives. Content of the class is relevant to encounter daily life in Tokyo and there are plenty of outside-class events and activities to join. Regular homework and review tests helped in retaining what’s been studied in class. Emphasis is on speaking Japanese confidently and smoothly. Would love to come back and continue this program if my time allows. – Adinda
