One of the hardest aspects to get used to when learning Japanese is communication. Not only does Shibuya Gaigo Gakuin have a curriculum that emphasizes both listening and speaking to get you comfortable with Japanese quickly, they also have class activities where Japanese guests are invited to attend the presentations and conferences organized by students of intermediate and higher levels. Rather than simply following the textbooks, you will be given plenty of opportunities to learn practical Japanese through different activities that our teachers have prepared based on the class's needs.
- Individual classes
- Single individual lessons of tuition can be reserved at 5832 ¥. The combination of group and individual lessons is highly recommended. Individual lessons will encourage you to actively speak the foreign language and will offer you the opportunity to discuss individual problems and weaknesses.
- Days without class
