The Japanese Course is a ground up course that progressively builds students' Japanese reading, writing, listening and speaking abilities. The focus is on natural pronunciation and fluent communication. Small classes and interesting activities help the students speak Japanese spontaneously. Culture units teach students about Japanese life. We provide a certificate for qualified students.
