DESCRIPTION

Nagoya JaLS aims to support you to find the best fit possible
for your Japanese learning needs in a supported and flexible environment.

Standard Course +
Private Lessons

At Nagoya JaLS, we give you many chances to actually speak Japanese. It is no fun just repeating what the teacher says. We want you to be thinking, “How do you say this, in that situation” during class time. No matter if you are studying Japanese for the first time, or if you have already started, our goal is to help you get better at using Japanese in a short time. For efficient oral practice, this program is for you!

You will take 21 Lessons in one week. Classes are not only taken place in the classrooms, but also out of classrooms to use it. From beginner to advanced, you will quickly level up.
