ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PRE COURSE TALK
Students all have different backgrounds when it comes to learning Japanese, so it is important for us to know what you have studied in the past. That is why we will organise a pre-course talk before your arrival in Tokyo.
We organise our groups according to levels, so you are matched with a group of the same level as you. You can then all learn and progress together.
This casual chat is organised with a member of our team and is a simple conversation. You are not being tested.
It can be done via WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom or a phone call.

How much progress can I expect to make?
Progress really depends on each and everyone.
You will of course make progress in your Japanese abilities by attending our classes and completing any homework and exercises your teacher assigns you.
However, you can progress much faster progress if you also practice outside of class, find some Japanese friends, watch Japanese TV or anime, attend activities with locals, etc.
One of the best ways to make great progress is to live with a homestay family, as you get to speak Japanese on a daily basis in a very immersive environment.
Progress can be as fast as you’d like it to be, you only need to put you out there and practice as much as you can.

If necessary, we can find a group class better suited to your needs.
