Quality of teaching / language progress

You are placed in a class on the basis of your oral knowledge. Anyone who is not so good at oral level can end up in a lower class even if he knows grammar and vocabulary completely.

Accommodation

Not particularly clean but practically furnished

It's a good place to experience and study.

It would be more impressive if you could write even a simple hand letter to each student to be given at the completion ceremony.

Positive aspects of school

Very, very nice staff. I felt very comfortable. Bright, light-flooded rooms. On the last day there was a farewell ceremony with all participants of the school, during which the certificate was handed over and a group photo was taken.

Other comments

The school sign could be improved. It is not visible from the outside of the building that the school is located here. It is a small "side entrance" and therefore difficult to find the first time. Very, very quick teaching, so that it was sometimes difficult to keep up. In the full-time course, the afternoon block is used to address these doubts. That’s very good. The website does not state that English language skills are a prerequisite. The material is taught in English (my school English was - thank God - enough!).

The teachers and the entire staff are probably made up of the nicest people I have met. That applies to most Japanese people, but the school staff really deserves a special mention. A pleasure both in and outside of class. The classmates were also all super nice, sociable people.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Take part in the activities and become friends! You will not regret it.

Other comments

Super accommodating. I forgot to transfer the balance. Lexis let me sort out financial matters during the stay, which took several days.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Definitely join the leisure activities.

Other comments

The summer courses are too full, at least at the beginners' level (up to 20 participants). It's best to learn the Hiragana and the Katagana alphabet in advance. The beginner courses are very mixed in regards to the level of the participants, and with zero previous knowledge, it becomes difficult.

do your homework ! do not hesitate to complain about students that disturb other students learning

Other comments

Lack of professionalism regarding learning. The homestay accommodation organisation is doing a poor job. I spent 5 days in the living room sleeping on an air mattress, waiting for an US student to leave. My host didn't have enough keys to give me one in the beginning, I always had to wait for the other residents to arrive to able to enter the house after class (wait 30 minutes in front of the house in crazy hot temperatures). I wish I could get a financial compensation (I mean my parents).

The location of the school, right next to Chinatown and a large department store where you could buy delicious fresh bento boxes for lunch.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Anyone who would like to learn to write fluent hiragana and katakana and loves hours of dictation is in the perfect place.

Other comments

Less suitable for travelers who mainly want to learn Japanese for a trip to Japan.
