Survival Japanese for Travelers
You can enjoy your time in Japan much more if you know some simple Japanese expressions.
This class is intended for those who have no knowledge of Japanese language. It is taught by a Japanese instructor fluent in English.
After a classroom lesson, you will go outside with the teacher to put your newly acquired knowledge into practice (e.g. whilst shopping).
Why not learn useful Japanese expressions in Harajuku, a town very popular among tourists?
Group and One-to-One (different fare) are offered, so please pick on according to your preference.
 Knowing very little Japanese when I stepped off the plane in Narita and not knowing how to ask the most basic of questions made things difficult and somewhat embarrassing. Luckily I had found out about a course that would give me some of the basics I so desperately needed, the course was informal and friendly which set me at ease straight away. We used cards with diagrams which we used to formulate questions and answers and make statements, from there we went out to test my knowledge on an unsuspecting Japan namely a coffee shop, walking back to the table holding the drinks victoriously in hand we chatted for a while about the course for a while before heading back home.Great course, with a nice friendly and relaxed atmosphere a great help for those that need to know some Nihongo. - Kerry UK |

You'll enjoy your trip even more if you can speak some Japanese. A little goes a long way and we offer a crash course in survival Japanese for tourists. As well as greetings and everyday Japanese, we will teach you the most important 'kanji' characters for your trip. As part of your course we will accompany you on an outing to use your new skills. See Japan in a different light!
