Short-term Japanese language training course
(adult)
The “Short-term Japanese Language Course” is a course for those who have just arrived in Japan to learn the Japanese Language from scratch.
The lessons are held twice a week for a total of 20 sessions (about 3 months).
The text is an original selection of the most essential real life situations. Learn Hiragana, Katakana, and 50 Kanjis.
We offer face-to-face courses at the FIRA salon (see map) and online courses through Zoom. The courses are subject to change depending on the spread of infections of COVID-19. Please check the details upon application.
* In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in the Face-to-Face Classroom, we limit the number of students and maintain an attendance register. The participants are asked to refrain from eating and drinking in the room. Also, they are asked to check their body temperature, wear a mask, and disinfect their hands. We kindly ask for your cooperation in this matter.
