In order to improve your Japanese conversational skills within a short period of time, we focus on three main areas – practice, speak and use! The classes at Kyoto JaLS are designed for a maximum of 8 people in each class.

After class, students are encouraged to use Japanese actively out of school and on the streets of Kyoto!
