Outline

You can study Japanese from 1 year to 2 years after acquiring a student Visa.

 

In addition to learning Japanese speaking, listening, reading, and writing, you can also learn test strategies for “The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students” and the “Japanese Language Proficiency Test”. Classes are carefully divided into a wide range of levels, from beginner to advanced, according to skill levels and learning speeds of the students. Along the way, students acquire Japanese language abilities practical in a variety of situations.
 

For students aiming to advance to a university or a specialized school after graduation, we have abundant opportunities to let students experience these institutions With such experiences, class teachers and specialized staff provide advice for students to advance to higher education suitable to each individual. In addition to the Japanese language course, students can attend classes for EJU if they wish.
