「言いたいこと」がそのまま言葉になる、旅で本当に使える日本語

日本を訪れる旅行者の多くは、教科書どおりの丁寧な会話ではなく、その場で交わされる短くて実用的なやりとりに苦労します。このコースでは、空港・ホテル・レストラン・コンビニなど、旅先で実際に出会う場面を1回ごとに取り上げ、すぐに使えるフレーズを繰り返し練習します。文法の説明は最小限にし、聞く・言う練習を中心に進めるので、日本語の学習経験が少ない方でも安心して受講できます。10回終了後には、旅の主要な場面で自分の言葉で対応できる自信が身につきます。

Course description available in: 日本語

It's not just about passing the exam. Let's prepare for the interviews that follow.

Studying for the JLPT often leans towards memorizing grammar and vocabulary, but what many learners are actually aiming for is not just 'passing' but the opportunities for further education or employment that come afterward. In this course, we will cover grammar and vocabulary at the JLPT N3 to N2 levels while also practicing how to answer commonly asked interview questions, as well as how to convey self-promotion and motivation for applying. This course is designed for those who may not have the time to study for the exam and interview preparation separately, allowing you to efficiently develop both skills.

Japanese that supports you in balancing parenting and work

For foreign mothers who are working in Japan while raising children, or who are considering working in the future, the necessary Japanese differs slightly from 'textbook business Japanese.' This course focuses on efficiently acquiring only the essential expressions needed in a limited time, such as workplace reporting, communication, and consultation, documents related to parental leave, and greetings upon returning to work. The instructor, who has continued teaching while raising three children, understands the busy schedule of moms and provides lessons that can be continued without strain. 【This course is designed for foreign mothers who are currently working in Japan or planning to find a job or return to work. A Japanese level of daily conversation ability (equivalent to JLPT N4 to N3) is required, and it is suitable for those with limited study time due to balancing childcare and work. It is ideal for those who prioritize efficiency and want to focus on expressions that can be used immediately in the workplace.】

Don't carry your words and feelings alone!

When raising children in Japan, there are many moments when you feel not only the language barrier but also loneliness and anxiety. Have you ever experienced difficulty expressing what you want to communicate to your child's daycare teacher, feeling left out of the circle of other mothers, or struggling to find someone to consult with? In this course, an instructor with experience raising three children will guide you through lessons while also being attentive to your feelings, alongside Japanese language instruction. Practical Japanese for dealing with official procedures and communication with daycare centers is covered, and days when you simply want someone to listen to you are also welcome. We aim for the time spent learning Japanese to become a safe space for you.
