Study Japanese at Coto's online Japanese language group course


Learning to speak Japanese should be fun and easy no matter where you are. With our highly accredited learning system, become fluent with guided lessons from our professional Japanese teachers. Our small Japanese class allows you to engage with your teacher and classmates.

Friendly: Our small class ensures your learning community is interactive. You will get a chance to form genuine long-lasting connections and exchange tips about Japan with like-minded students.

Professional: Japanese classes taught by Coto instructors. Our teachers go through training and are committed to continually improving their teaching methods. We encourage our instructors to provide each student with a supportive and clear learning environment. This means giving feedback and personalized advice to students on their progress.

Extensive curriculum of in-house Japanese lesson materials


Our school is regularly voted as one of the best best language schools in Tokyo and Yokohama. With more than 20 years of teaching Japanese to foreigners on our sleeves, we are equipped with the experience to help you improve your Japanese skill.

We have been offering Japanese lessons for years with a well-designed curriculum, including textbooks that are commercially available and ones that we write ourselves. We put a strong focus on conversation, which makes our teaching style highly effective and sets students ready for the real world — no matter where they start.

Instead of generic Japanese language textbooks, we use a mix of our in-house class materials (including our own textbook Nihongo Fun and Easy), the ever-comprehensive “Genki” and other proven guidebooks.

Who is our online Japanese group course for?


If you’re not in Japan and you are searching for a native Japanese language teacher, our online course is perfect for you. You might also not live in a place that is near a Japanese school.

At Coto, we have what it takes to help you achieve your Japanese target effectively and efficiently, in-class or online. By learning Japanese in an interactive small online group, you will feel at ease, have more time to ask questions and participate in class.

Additionally, our online Japanese courses allow students to only focus on the Japanese lessons — no more commuting and scheduling conflicts. Being an online course, our Japanese group lessons are suited for people who live in Japan but may not find the time to study because they are busy with work or personal matters.


Japanese online group lessons from all levels


Our online course program is structured to 18 different levels and lesson type. From beginners who want to start studying Japanese for the first time to advanced learners, there’s a class that’s right for you. We even have Japanese language classrooms for students who wish to improve their business Japanese.

FAQ


  • Online Japanese Lessons

    Coto offers Online Japanese Lessons.

    There are several types of Online Japanese Lessons that we offer:

    Each of these have different types of instruction and methods - also pricing for them is different.

    1-1 Online Japanese Lessons

    Our 1-1 Online Japanese lessons have two categories of lesson.

    • Speaking Sessions
    • Learning Sessions

    Speaking Sessions are designed to give a speaking practice environment with a native practice partner.

    During these sessions - there is no instruction of new concepts from a teacher - but rather just speaking practice in a free conversation environment.

    Learning Sessions are designed to teach new concepts in an instructive format. This will allow the student to learn new grammar concepts in a linear format with our custom materials.

    If you are interested in exploring availability or have questions about our online lessons - please contact us through email or online at cotoacademy.com

    Online JLPT Prep Courses

    Our online JLPT Prep courses are a bit different.

    We offer them for the following levels of the JLPT:

    These classes could be described as followed:

    • Group class in a "lecture" format
    • Designed to prepare for the written exam
    • Classes are recorded so the student can review on their own

    These classes take place 1x or 2x per week depending on if you are enrolled in both the "Kanji and Vocabulary" and "Grammar and Reading" Components - based on the level of the exam.

    Payment / Enrollment / Duration of the Course

    You may want to know - when do our JLPT Courses start? You can enroll any time - the courses themselves repeat and are paid for on a monthly basis.

    The entire curriculum for our N3, N2, and N1 courses are 6 months each.

    The curriculum is taught in a linear fashion - but there is no set start or end date.

    So, if you joined during month 3 - you would study for months 3,4,5,6, and then start with a new class at 1, and 2.

    To enroll:

    • Visit the course page.
    • Fill out the sign up form with your details.
    • We will send you a payment link for the tuition and course materials fee based on your needs.
    • Pay the course materials fee - and we will give you access to the online course system and enroll you. You will be notified about this through email.

      You can learn more at our online JLPT Prep Courses website.

    Online Writing Only Courses

    We have a third type of online lesson and that is our writing only business email course.

    This course does not have a live instructor - rather it is a correspondence course where your written business email assignments are graded and assessed by our professional instructor.

    You can learn more about our business email writing course at our dedicated page.

  • Part-time Courses

    What are Part-time Courses?

    Our Part-time Courses are designed to teach practical aspects of Japanese.

    Instead of a comprehensive approach - part-time courses focus on teaching grammar, speaking, and other topics.

    These courses are good for students who have already learned some Japanese but want to improve their grammar, or their speaking specifically.

    Are Part-time Courses available in the Evenings and on Saturdays?

    Yes they are! You can see a full schedule of our Part-time Courses here: www.cotoacademy.com/course (Click on part-time)

  • Intensive Courses

    How Long Are Your "Intensive Courses"?

    Our Intensive Japanese Language Courses are 3 hours long.
    3 blocks of 50 minute sessions with a 10 minute break in-between.

    How Many Levels Are There for Intensive Courses?
