Learn Japanese in Japan

Course Overview - Learn Japanese in Japan

Our Japanese in a Teacher’s home course is held in a relaxed environment, the comfortable home of your own tutor. This is the ideal way to make rapid progess in Japanese.

Your Japanese course is totally personalised to you, at your level and delivered to your needs. You will be impressed at just how quickly your confidence grows as your Japanese improves: one-to-one home tuition with homestay in your teacher’s home is the most effective way to develop language skills in a short period of time.

You can choose to have 15, 20, or 25 lessons per week with your own private host teacher (each lesson lasts 60 minutes). Excursions can also be taken with the teacher where relevant to the course.

Who is it for?

For Japanese language learners who want to boost their oral fluency and know that an immersion experience will build their knowledge and confidence in speaking Japanese fast.

Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses in languages, so everyone’s level is slightly different. Your courses will cover the core skills: speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading and writing.

Out of lessons, you will have the opportunity to practise what you have learnt, so it is ideal for motivated learners who want to get the most out of living and being immersed in a Japanese-speaking environment.
