Course Overview
Our online Japanese language course is designed for comprehensive learning and mastery, suitable for all age groups. The course is intended for both school-age children and adults without age restrictions. The training is organized so that each student can gradually and systematically acquire language skills, starting with basic fundamentals and progressing to advanced studies.
The curriculum includes three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. At the beginner level, students familiarize themselves with the basics of Japanese, studying fundamental grammar and phonetics, laying the foundation for further learning. Attention is given to grammatical rules and vocabulary expansion, helping students learn to construct simple sentences and develop conversational skills. The intermediate level focuses on deepening grammar knowledge, improving writing and reading skills, and understanding more complex texts and participating in discussions on various topics. The advanced level covers complex grammar aspects, academic and professional Japanese, and develops free communication skills and understanding specialized texts.
Lessons are conducted in a one-on-one format, each lasting 45 minutes. Our instructors are proficient in Japanese, Russian, Ukrainian, and English, allowing students to choose the most convenient language for learning. The flexible schedule considers each student's capabilities and preferences, making the learning process as comfortable and effective as possible.
Online lessons are held on Google Meet and Zoom platforms, ensuring easy access to classes from anywhere in the world. All our instructors have higher linguistic education and significant work experience.
We recommend conducting lessons at least twice a week to ensure steady progress and avoid long breaks between classes. This promotes better material retention and quick language skill development. Upon completing each level, students receive certificates confirming their achievements and proficiency in Japanese, which is an excellent addition to their portfolios.
