When do courses start?

Courses do not have one set starting date. You can join existing classes at various times. Even if you start a course halfway through, you can catch up with other classmates. New course times vary and depend on class size and the availability of students at the same level. Since we have various levels, we will surely find the most suitable class for you.
As for the private lessons, you can start anytime if we have a coach and a classroom available!

What time does classes start?

Each class has a different schedule. Some classes are in the morning, and some are in the evening. We, therefore, need to know your Japanese level and your schedule to find out which class is the best for you!

Will I have the same coach for all of my classes?

For the group class, the same coach will coach a course for an entire semester. For private lessons, it is possible to have the same coach or different coaches if you prefer. It is up to you and your schedule.

What language do teachers use in the classroom?

Classes are held mostly in Japanese, but when needed, you can ask questions in English, and all Coaches are able to explain vocabulary and concepts in English.

Do I have to know Japanese characters (Kana and Kanji)? What is the focus of the lessons?

The lesson focus is mainly on communication skills. Therefore, there will be many oral activities in the classroom, and reading and writing practice will be done as homework. However, we recommend learning Hiragana and Katakana for beginners and some Kanji for intermediate students to learn pronunciation and vocabulary more efficiently. It can be arranged to focus on other areas of Japanese or special requests in private lessons.
