module introduction

Plus Conversation

Five extra classes each week of conversational Japanese focus on some of the interesting aspects of conversational Japanese that it can be hard to cover in the standard classes, such as slang, dialects, specialized vocabulary, and more.

You won't get far in Japan without being able to speak the language, but using the special curriculum and techniques our teachers have developed, you'll be surprised how easy it is to learn to speak Japanese, and you'll be fluent before you know it! Our Japanese Plus Conversation course uses interesting and modern materials and activities to focus on improving your Japanese speaking ability in a way that gives you the flexibility to adapt to new situations.

Small-group classes are given both inside and outside of the classroom - you will learn essential communication techniques in structured lessons with the teacher, then practice them in real-world situations, such as:

• Calling a movie theater to ask for showtimes
• Ordering delivery sushi
• Calling a restaurant to make reservations
• Giving a questionnaire to people in the park
• Asking for directions at the train station
• Buying electronics
