Intensive Japanese Courses

You may be wondering what happens if you cannot attend one of the intensive course sessions. Catch-up lessons are offered with some conditions. Catch up lessons (50min private lesson) can be offered for full day in-class lessons missed between Monday- Thursdays only, on a per-day basis. In order to qualify for a catch up lesson you must have been absent for the full class day - partial attendance is ineligible for a catch up lesson. Friday is a test / field trip day so there are no catch up lessons offered. To receive the catch up lessons you need to cancel the lesson before 18:00 on the previous day and we offer a maximum of 4 catch up lessons per 4 weeks. Please refer to the terms and conditions for more details.

Students from all levels are accepted from total beginner to advanced.

We use a practical and proven method, classes cover aspects of all Japanese language skills, with a focus on speaking. Students are encouraged to be proactive in speaking Japanese and learning grammar structures early. We see the importance of learning beyond written theory and textbooks and want to make sure that our students are learning Japanese that they can actually use. Our certified Japanese teachers place importance on communication skills: conversation, presentation, and speaking publicly. You’ll be introduced to layers of Japanese culture, manners and aspects important to your life and work in Japan. We want to prepare you for the "real" Japan.

Our Students are typically international residents that are a mix of working professionals, people who want to improve their career prospects or change careers and families of international business people. We do not provide student visas to learners who study with us. We have a very diverse student body with many students from the United States, Canada, France, Germany.  A wide range of ages from mid twenties - all the way to 70s. We do not provide student visas to our students.

Lessons are divided into beginner (N5-N4), intermediate (N3) and advanced (N2) at different levels. Each level lasts 4 weeks.

Our lessons are small and friendly. With a maximum of 8 students, we focus on community learning. This allows you to participate in more conversations, build confidence in speaking Japanese and feel at ease with your peers. We find that having someone motivated alongside you will increase your motivation. The small class size allows you to receive extensive support and guidance from our professional language teachers. Having this cap allows our instructors to monitor your growth and give feedback — something that isnt possible in a large class. Most importantly, you will have more chances to speak Japanese with your classmates.
