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.
