Experience daily Japanese life in the most laid-back of Japan's major cities.
Take what you learn at GenkiJACS Nagoya through our classes focused on speaking, communication, and practical Japanese, and explore the rich culture Nagoya boasts. Aside from famously having the best food in Japan, Nagoya has a rich history and vibrant art and music subcultures. You'll never run out of things to do.
Whether you're learning Japanese for the first time or already know some of the language, the Core Japanese Course at GenkiJACS will help you use Japanese with confidence in real-life situations. Instead of just memorizing words from a textbook, you'll practice speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar so you can communicate naturally every day.
Classes are kept small, with a maximum of eight students, so you'll have lots of chances to ask questions, speak Japanese, and get personal feedback from your teacher. Each weekday includes two grammar lessons and two language skills classes, so you can use what you've learned straight away in fun, interactive activities.
New classes start almost every Monday, and we offer courses for every level, from complete beginners to advanced learners. Whether you're staying in Japan for a few weeks or several months, the Core Japanese Course gives you a clear learning plan, plenty of speaking practice, and the support you need to make real progress while enjoying your time in Japan.
Add four extra classes each week of conversational Japanese. These extra classes focus on some of the interesting aspects of conversational Japanese such as slang, dialects, specialized vocabulary, and more.
