JAPANESE CLASSES FOR ALL LEVELS

The Yoshida Institute of Japanese Language offers a wide variety of classes for students seeking to learn Japanese. Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced student, we can help you! Come learn Japanese in the exciting city of Tokyo!

Full-time, daily intensive classes

our students For students seeking to study Japanese intensively in order to enter a Japanese university, college, vocational school or just to study rigorously, we offer full-time, daily intensive classes. Classes are held five days a week in the morning or in the afternoon. Each class runs for a little over three hours and during that time students work on improving speaking, reading, writing and listening skills. Beginning students focus on basic grammar and speaking skills while students in advanced courses learn to understand TV and radio programs and read Japanese literature.
Three-months terms start at the beginning of January, April, July and October. Our next term begins October 08, 2009.

LEARNING JAPANESE

ATSU-I--hot, warm At first, learning Japanese may seem like a daunting task, for the grammar is completely different from European languages and the writing system ornate - two alphabets mixed with a ideographic character system adapted from Chinese. But if you just relax and start with the basics, you'll find that learning the language is not as difficult as it sounds.
Beginners can start by learning how to read and write the KANA on our hiragana and katakana pages.
We at Yoshida have developed a special kanji study guide to help you with your test preparations. The study guide is broken up into levels corresponding to the JLPT levels ( level-4, level-3, level-2, level-1). For example, if you are preparing for the level 4 test, then you'll need to know all the kanji listed in our level 4 study guide; for the level 3 test, you'll need to know all the kanji in level 4 plus level 3, and so on. Please give it a try and let us know what you think.
